Animal Pak / Amino Acid Question
Probably a simple question for most, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know. So help me out, please.
If I go back with Animal Pak, is it necessary to continue my Nature's Best amino acid supp, or is there enough in the Animal Pak that I can discontinue the Nature's Best? These amino acid pills make horse pills pale in comparison. I would love to find a way out of taking them once I complete this bottle.

The amino's in Pak are there for nutritional insurance, they don't replace BCAA/protein supplements.
If you don't want to take amino acid pills, there are powdered versions like this one that tastes great:

Alright, appreciate the input guys. I kind of figured this would be the case. I'll be switching to a powder after this bottle. Damn pills are the size of small cars.

Why are you taking supplemental amino acid supplements? What are your goals for using it? That's the first question.

My goal is to lean up and add strength. Because I'm pushing my body harder than ever on lifting days, taking these amino acids help my muscles repair faster and stronger. However, I probably don't need to tell you that. Also, I supp L-Glutamine, so it only makes sense to add an amino complex like Xtend, Nitro-tech, Torrent, Nature's Best, etc.
That brings me back around to my initial question. I wasn't sure if the amounts found in the Animal Pak were sufficient enough for my needs. Hopefully that helps answer your questions. Thank you for taking the time to help me answer mine!

Gotcha. Then I'd def consider adding an extra amino acid supp. Consider a free form EAA supp.
