Title: Animal Paks worth getting?
Post by: big E on October 25, 2005, 01:25:15 PM: Are animal packs better than taking individual vitamins & minerals. since they are already in a pack for you? Is that worth the extra money.

Post by: Bear03 on October 25, 2005, 04:35:01 PM: If you can get em for a good deal....but probably not. I got a multi that's almost as good, for 5 bucks less, except the kicker is that there's 5 times as many servings per container.

I'd say no, unless you've got a big budget and want to make the Pak your "marquee" supplement.

So then what's the difference in requirements between someone who trains and someone who doesn't? How much more Vit. C or Selenium does your body need because you train to failure? Don't get me wrong, I think Centrum is basically crap, but Animal Paks are way over-priced and over-hyped compared to a quality multi that costs a third as much

I would think the free radicals and cortisol released by hard training definitely necessitates potent doses of antioxidants.
