I tried Animal Pak and i felt no difference from NOW ADAM. My piss got bright yellow but that's about it really.

The best vitamin/mineral stack is MVP-365 with ZMK. Hands down, that **** cannot be beat by anything else on BB.com.

LOL @ YOR. Looks like a MLM company. 100mg of coq10 is nice though.

[CONTROLLED LABS]

well, if you're looking at it from a health perspective, OT is a great choice for you. the immune formula in it is, well amazing. even just havine echinacea and quercetin would be great, but they go and add more..#1 selling immune formula on BB.com, so they got something right =]

OT is good for people lifting, but its aslo great for anyone who wants to improve there help.....got anything to add to that tank/pu?

many people are now stacking orange triad with REDuction for 5 products in 2 :D

[frankeaglechase]

I use Animal Pak to provide me with the cornerstone of my diet. The product provides a great balance of nutrients and ingredients that I would never get eating from a limited diet. While 11 pills are a mouthful, the results that I have experienced are worth it!

I'm taking ON Optimen right now. I'll probably switch over to Animal Pak once this runs out.

I have used GNC mega men for a long time, currently I am taking Centrum silver both cheap and I get my vitamins that is what matters to me.

Look for all natural vitamins, the CENTRUM is mostly synthetic and not as good for you as it seems.

I never thought of it as a stack, but that is what I just ordered.

The REDuction will be new to me, but I'll be on my second batch of OT. So far my chronically sore shoulder has been feeling a-ok.

[CONTROLLED LABS]

I honestly hated Orange Triad.. 6 pills a day.. big as ****!! just not my style.. id prefer less pills.
6 pills for 3 products in one is no big deal. its also divided into 2 tabs with each meal. why is that so bad? the pills are easy to get down and are roughly the size of a standard capsule. some products are just multis and are 11 or 12 tabs at one time :eek:

I used Animal Pak and loved 'em. Didn't find it too cumbersome to take 11 pills in one sitting, but I'm giving ON Opti Men a try soon. Only 1 pill, 3 times a day.

The one Natural Guy posted up seems to be a good bang for the buck, and not many pills whatsoever.

[ripped2shreds777]

currently taking Orange Triad two pills in the morning and one pill every 3 hours with my mrp's and meals after. I swithced to OT primarily because of the msm and joint complex. I used to take animal pak and it too is a tremendous product but I had a hard time deciding when to take it on non-training days and having one pill with all of the vitamins in it and taking it multiple times a day just works better for me as of now.

sounds good, how many tabs are you taking within 24 hours :)

[RavensFan2k3]

how do you guys take your multi's? Most of them are 2-3 tablets per dose. Do you guys take them all at once or spread them out throughout the day?

[ripped2shreds777]

sounds good, how many tabs are you taking within 24 hours :)

doing the full 6. Figure the first 2 at 7:00 and then one at 10, 1, 4, 7. I actually carry the whole bottle around with me at work.

Gotta love Animal Pak! Not cheap, but has lots of everything! The number one Vitamin out there. I treat myself to this once in a while...

I have found it for $20.00 USD in the Houston area.

[TheBigRigatoni]

I have found it for $20.00 USD in the Houston area.
20.00 bucks...what that a local store in houston? or online

[Shelloutfalter]

I've always been a fan of Nature's Plus Source of Life multi-vitamin. I pay about $42 out the door for 180. It's a three-a-day made with whole food concentrates for maximum bioavailability. If you can't absorb a vitamin, what good is it. And a good vitamin will cost you. Don't be won over by the vitamin rack at Wal-Mart. Real vitamins are found in health food stores.

[TheBigRigatoni]

how about this new one coming out in summer...sounds like something to look into..im a big fan of Animal Pak...

http://mysupplementstore.com/moli.html

but this sounds just as good

[PremiereFitness]

ON Opti-Men. 75+ ingredients, high potency. 3 pills a day. 1 in the morning, 1 at noon, and 1 at night.

[alphaproject]

Right now I am trying out a 90 cap bottle or Garden of Life Living Multi - Men's Formula.

I really can't compare it to anything but a wal mart one a day.....but I've noticed some improvements in energy and well being, for real. However, maybe I needed a multi vitamin period and didn't know it.

I cannot be sure but when the bottle is gone, I'll see how I feel after that.

6 a day is recommended. It contains 80 whole food concentrates. The pills are not large but are not always the easiest to go down because there is no coating on them.

[Colossal Spoons]

I take GNC's Mega Men Sport but I'm lookin into Universal's Animal Pak right. Stuff looks pretty good, too bad there's only 22 servings in the biggest size.

I take the Founder's Club Multi from Andrew Lessman (Pro Caps Labs). I can't find a multi that is more complete, gentler on the stomach, or backed by more scientific research than his. He is, da man, as far as I'm concerned. EXTREMELY expensive, but, to me, well worth it.

Glad you like Orange TRIad. all tablet products have some fillers to keep the tabs together and pressed. Any and all fillers are listed on the label. (ie. Maltodextrin and Magnesium Stearate)


Orange Triad is also a great Multi.

orange triad is awesome because its much more than a multi. its a:

Multi
Joint Supplement
Digestion/Immune Aid

ALL IN ONE :)

[naturalguy]

It speaks volumes. For a product to be the top seller in the industry for 25 years, a quarter of a century is amazing. Think of how many supplements and supplement companies that have come and gone in that time frame.

I know a lot pro bodybuilders in the industry and many of them (including guys/gals that are sponsored by other companies) have been using Animal Pak for years. It's not a flashy product but it gets the job done. A solid, foundational multi plus designed for bodybuilders/athletes, made in the U.S. by Universal (not farmed out to some 3rd party) in a gmp facility. It's not for couch potatoes and weekend warriors.

[Chocobananas]

Were you on any other previous multi's? Most people experience the "pak piss" right off the bat because of the sudden increase in vitamins. Then as you gradually keep taking it your body regulates. The only time I ever experience pak piss is when I don't drink enough water.

[spiken]

A pak all the way no doubt

[MTXR]

So i been looking at Orange Triad and Now Adams, but i am 135lbs and feel like maybe all these multivitamins have to much in it. I don't want to OD on any vitamins and just want to get enough.

Is there too much of each vitamin/mineral in these 2 products?

who needs like 200-500% of daily needs?

I am concerned, i took principles of nutrition class from what i learn to much of certain vitamins can actually damage organs.....

any thoughts?

I currently take N.O. xplode before each of my workouts. Would it be ok to take a multi vitamin like Now Adam along with N.O. xplode being that N.O. xplode already has 1250% vitamin b6 and 2000% b12 and Now Adam would add another 1250% and 4170% of each of those vitamins?

the amount of iron is pretty small.

and plus, iron is difficult to absorb.

however, i've tried and didn't like ast multi pro. my body had lots of trouble absorbign it and i didn't get bright urine like i do with other multis.

i'm using adams now and optimen right now.

but i really wanna try orange triad so i'll give that a go next time.

[Aus4484]

AnimalPak! Sure it's pricey, and sometimes it can be a bitch to swallow, but I find I get less colds etc and generally feel better when I'm on it, more so than with a regular one a day.

You get a 6 week supply for around $23, thats not expensive when you consider that you get a multi, amino's, performance optimizers, efa's and a digestive complex. Most people like you experienced say they feel a difference on it.

what do you guys think? which one should i go for? anyone used both before?

for some reason, i get a headache adn a bad aftertaste when i eat optimen.

Orange Triad...I am now a believer of its greatness...hurt my back real bad (had my lower back make love to the end of a hand rail at full force) and have been more mobile then I thought I would be...besides discomfort from the cut...I have only had to scale back my workouts slightly...damn

do a search on this product.

it doesn't absorb well and lots of people have found it in their feces, undigested.

i'd recommend trying either now adam, opti-men, or orange triad.

good luck!

I got a crazy cheap price on Garden of Life Living Multi (Men's Formula) and it doesn't show up in feces. (On ebay)

Their pills look like their probiotic pills but a tad smaller with more stuff in them. I don't get too much of the bright pee since I take 3 pills 2x a day.

6 is the recommended allowance.

It includes with the vitamins this mixture.

sea veg,antioxidant fruit/veggie/herbal/mushroom/trace mineral/botanicals.

Each serving having different milligrams most being the sea veg.

[JayZyzz]

do a search on this product.

many people have had bad experiences with this product. me included.

it doesn't absorb well and lots of people have found it in their feces, undigested.

i'd recommend trying either now adam, opti-men, or orange triad.

good luck!

Ive been looking at orange tried aswell, and will definetely do some more investigating before making a decision.

Thanks!

[BBmachine]

I thought i just did haha :D Ive been using it for months now, its much more convenient than animal pak, plus it actually gets into australia.

Where do you get Orange Triad from in Australia? I havent been able to find it in any store, not even GNC who is the official supplier of Controlled Labs products.
As far as I know, the product is illegal to sell here but I would like to try it.
I recently read the book on the test of most multi vitamins, but animal pak and orange triad werent in the test.
The product that was the best overall is very very expensive!
Animal Pak is available here, so I would like to try it with Orange Triad and compare for myself.
Please let me know where its available.
Thanks

Orange Triad seems to be popular (even though I only read this last page, I'll read the others later), so I might go get this.

I've considered Animal Pak before, but from reading various testimonials, I'm not sure if it's actually worth it or just hyped.

Question: Does it really make a drastic difference whether you swallow or chew the pills? (Even if it was meant to be swallowed.)

Thanks in advance

Why would you want to chew them? They're hard and taste disgusting.

[hitongirls]

Why would you want to chew them? They're hard and taste disgusting.

Yea, but honestly, I don't really mind...I've done it before and I can't deny that it is in fact a horrid, rancid taste, but the thing is I have a hard time swallowing pills in itself. I can do little ones, but the larger sized ones like fish oil I have to just hold my breath, chew, and swallow it so I can get over with it already. I've gotten pretty used to it, so the taste isn't really a problem for me. I don't suppose it has any advantage, but are there any negatives to doing this?

If you ask me, wouldnt it benefit you more to chew them..kinda like why you chew food before you swallow it?

[kcinnitram91]

If you ask me, wouldnt it benefit you more to chew them..kinda like why you chew food before you swallow it?

With animal pak it would have a negative effect if you chewed the pills. Each pill has a special time released coating on it to help absorption of all of the vitamins. If you chew them, then the time released coatings are diminished.

I've been taking Millennium Sport's MVP in the morning and their ZMK at night for a couple of months, and I am now convinced this is better because your body does not absorb vitamins and minerals the same way.

im switching from ast multi pro and before that i was using an apex branded multi. i really dont know much about this stuff (i wasnt even taking a multi until 3-4 months ago) but people talk about how they feel so much better on animal pak or orange triad so just wanted to see if its just mental or you actually physically feel better. dont really have any significant joint problems and have never taken any joint supplements but my right shoulder pops a little sometimes when i lift. i also have a weak ankle at the moment from a sprain several weeks ago...will it help with recovery and make it stronger?

You guys should make your decision on what fits you and your goals. I am not going to try to sway you either way. Compare the formulas, they are certainly different with Pak you get a multi, amino's, performance optimizers, efa's and a full digestive complex. It's manufactured by Universal Nutrition (not farmed out to a 3rd party) with top notch quality control in our own gmp facility.

If you do decide to go with the Animal Pak we have a 100% guarantee on all our products if your not satisfied, no matter where you purchase it from. That speaks volumes.

A multi is not going to make or break you in this journey, your diet and training will. Keep in mind that bodybuilding is a marathon, not a sprint. It's your consistency on a day to day basis that will help you reach your goals.

If budget is an issue, SportPharma Multi-V is an excellent choice at $8.99 for a 6 week supply. It's not the Pak but it's a well dosed multi with a lot of extras.

[CONTROLLED LABS]

orange triad or animal pak ...anyone able to directly compare them from experience? im trying to decide~!!!

let me give you some context.

with orange triad you get a FULLY DOSED multivitamin, joint supplement, digestion/immune aid all manufactured in a GMP for sport facility, which means it meets strict GMP manufacturing standards and that no hormones are made in the facility. Thus guaranteeing the quality and integrity of the product. that means you will never test positive for a steroid by taking our products :)

[Lord_Superior]

Okay I'm too lazy to write 2 sup reviews, so check:

Having tried Animal Pak for a year and a half while deployed, and just finishing my third bottle of Orange Triad I have a strong opinion on both.

Other than the "OMG What's happening to me!!" Nuclear yellow urine you get from your first one or two initial servings of Animal Pak, I would have to say it is a great multi that helped supplement the nutrional deficiencies of a deployment.

It is lacking in one key area which made Orange Triad my new choice multi. That key area is joint support. With Animal Pak you have to also buy Animal Flex. Not so with Orange Triad. Not only does this make sense serving wise but money wise too.

It's come down to the 45 serves of OT at $29 or 44 servings of Animal Pak plus 44 servings of Animal Flex at $23.97 and $22.95 respectively for the same basic effect. You decide.

OT is my choice for multi.

/I still love Animal Stak though. No other test pack compares to it.

/I still love Animal Stak though. No other test pack compares to it.

Thank you for the feedback. Just so you understand why we do what we do. We don't combine a multi and joint supplement for several reasons: 1. Not everyone should be or needs to take a joint supplement. 2. We would not be able to put out the most effective joint formula if we combined it with a multi and we don't cut corners.

If you find OT effective then by all means use it however the formulas are not the same when it comes to the joint complex you are not comparing apples to apples:

What makes Animal Flex different from other joint supplements:


Most joint supplements have the regular glucosamine/chondroitin/msm. These are effective joint supporting nutrients. Animal Flex contains these nutrients in adequate doses however it does not stop there and here is where the differences are:

Animal Flex, like other Animal supplements, is complete and comprehensive. Each pack of Animal Flex consists of several key protective complexes: (1) a potent joint construction complex to help repair connective tissue; (2) a lubrication compound to help cushion the joints from lifting; (3) a support complex to help promote rehabilitation and reduce soreness; and (4) an essential vitamin/mineral blend to underscore optimal joint health.

Animal Flex has some patented ingredients that you won't find in other joint supplements such as CMO:

WHAT IS CETYLMYRISTOLEATE ?
Cetyl Myristoleate is an all-natural medium chain fatty acid found in only a small number of very select species of animals. Clinical experience suggests that Cetyl Myristoleate acts as an anti-inflammatory, as well as a surfactant and lubricant for damaged joints. Basically, it makes them more "slippery." This substance holds the promise of being the most effective solution to joint problems of any product ever introduced into the market. It is not habit-forming and contains no harsh chemicals or drugs that can cause side effects. It works in a natural manner by acting at the site of inflammation, is highly resistant to oxidation, it has a relatively long life in the body.

Bromelain is another ingredient that you don't find in other joint supplements. Bromelain is useful in the treatment of a wide range of conditions, but it is particularly effective in relieving inflammation associated with infection and physical injuries.
These are just a couple of ingredients that make Animal Flex stand out.

/I still love Animal Stak though. No other test pack compares to it.
glad to hear you found orange triad so effective. another great benefit is that the 6 tabs are mixed uniformly so each contains the same as the next. this allows you to spread it to 3 tabs twice per day or 2 tabs 3 times per day, which mimics regular food and nutrient consumption for great absorption.

it doesnt make sense to take a vitamin once and then have it last all day. the body is designed to take in food 3 or more times per day and this is how it is used to getting nutrients, so why should y our multi be any different. :)

thanks for giving orange triad a shot, but its much more than a multi, you also get a joint supplement and digestion/immune aid in the same product

if any of you actually care what is in your multivitamin perhaps take a look at what is listed beside vitamin E. If it is alpha-tocopherol I would probably look elsewhere for a properly formulated multi:

Money is not an issue but the thought of taking 11 big ass pills a day just seems too much, a hassle, and unnecessary.

Animal Pak does not cause hair loss. The only thing I can tell you to do is try Animal Pak and compare it to the others. We stand by our supplements 100% and even have a 100% money back gurantee if your not happy. So what do you have to lose?

It's the B-vitamins. In particular, riboflavin does it.

I was looking at the Life Extension Mix: http://bodybuilding.com/store/le/mix.html

how is this one? It seems to have a lot of stuff but is pretty expensive.

I've got a bottle sitting waiting for once I finish my Orange TRIad, I'm going to take it on a day on/day off basis with Ortho*Core. It's not cheap, but I believe in this case you get what you pay for.

okay im new to the multi vitamin game. im reading alot of good reviews of animal pak and orange triad. which one should i try first? all i heard the difference was that OT has joint protection. and do they both come in the pack where u have to take 5 different pills?

orange triad is 6 tabs split up into two 3 tab doses and animal pak is 13 pills i think

13??!??!?!?!? A DAY? are u serious. so which one do you recommend?

[naturalguy]

Animal Pak is not 13 pills. It's 11. You are getting a multi, amino's, performance optimizers, efa's and a full digestive complex.
Your getting 5 products in one. :eek:

You have to understand that you can only fit so much in tablets. There is a lot in Animal Pak.

If you want something with less pills yet still a great formula that has more than just a multi:

and it's only $8.99 for a 6 week supply :eek:

If your going to drop the cash and insist on going the multivitamin route I would go with AOR Orthocore it is head and shoulders above pretty much all the multis mentioned on this site. The LEF product is also a far better formulated product than your average multi

[swetooth9]

why is the AST Multi 32X multivitamin only 2 pills per day, while the other ones are like 6+ per day?

Ortho wha?? lol

Yeah, agreed x100!

I come from another planet in the supplement game (no not that place you order from) where Ortho Core is known as the current king of multis... I've spent most of my free time through the 20's (when I should have been partying, chasing skirts and drinking beer) reading, researching, and blah, blah, alternative medicine, optimum nutrition, anti-aging, you name it and was always in the quest for the best in supplementation... I believe Ortho Core is as good as it gets for now.

Glad there are other brainiacs :) catching on to the Ortho Core health train... believe me, if there was something better, I'd be all over it.

i dont know.... more pills sound better but i dont understand how to take them the orange triad is 3 pills? and another 3 pills? and the animal pack is 11 pills straight?

You can take the Animal Pak all at once (I take it with breakfast) the tablets are timed release so the nutrients trickle into your system for best absorption. If 11 is too much for you at one time, you can split them up however you like as long as you take them with a meal.

oh yeah i read some where that taking 2 paks is recommended for intense body builders. but i wanna get lean muscle not too bulky and lose some fat. should i take 1 pack or 2?

more pills do not = better ;)

orange triad will give you everything you need, the value in unmatched by any other. the other good part about the pills being identical in their make up is that you can spread out the dosage to mimic food intake for the best absorption possible :)

[Brendon9686]

Hey guys, I know this seems like a stupid question, but are the tablets chewable? Are you supposed to chew them or just swallow? The vitamins I got are brittle. Are they supposed to be that way?

Quick question regarding this meal business/timing of consumption... Advertisements I've seen and articles I've read have stated that the pack should be consumed half an hour after a meal, before you work out. Is there much difference in effectiveness depending on the timing of consumption?

[naturalguy]

1 pack per day for most people.

You do not need to take the Pak pre workout. Our newest labels reflect this and state to take the Animal Pak with any meal. Most of the nutrients are timed release so as long as you take it daily you will be fine.

Animal Pak has 11 pills. Give it s shot bro, what's to lose. Animal has a 100% money back gurantee if your not satisfied, so there really is nothing to lose.
