Animal Nitro Review
Hey guy's, I just got the new Animal Nitro from Universal Nutrition. I've been posting about it before on the New Animal Product thread in the supplements forum and it's finally here. Let me give you my stats: I'm 5'9" 185lbs 10% bodyfat and have been training for 8 years now. My current supplements are protein (Nectar from Syntrax), flax oil (Health from the Sun), Animal Paks (Universal) and Liver Tabs (Universal). These all have been staples in my supplement plan for years now. I will keep you guys informed of my results from the Nitro. According to the directions it recommends 2 packs a day so I'll be taking one pack before my workout with grape juice and 1 pack after the workout with grape juice.

I just wanted to update you guys. In case any is wondering what the product looks like...it's a pack of 8 capsules. I'll be bringing the two packs with me to work so I can take one pack right before the gym (30 minutes) and then the second pack immediately after the gym. These packs make it so easy...I don't have to worry about bringing the container to work just 2 packs and I'm set. Exercise-wise I'll be sticking to the same exercises each week so it'll be easier to see if there's any progress in the lifts. So far I'm feeling good...not sure what to expect in the first few days. But I feel recovered and we'll rested. Anyone else out there use this product yet?

why do you "love it"
does it get you jacked for your workouts?
better pump?
getting any stronger?
when did you start to notice gains
be specific"My problem is that my parents are here and so is my brother. It will look kind of suspicious with me walking into the bathroom with a frozen chicken breast. We have no salmon here either, but I can get the salmon fillets this weekend and stick it in my ass on Monday morning when everyone is gone.
I don't mind sticking the fish in my ass (no homo) its just getting it past my parents that's going to be the delay."

I am interested to see what kind of results you get. I personally have more faith than some in this forum, of the Animal products. I am thinking of trying some. So keep us posted and any other feedback is helpful.
You will not be able to enjoy anything God has given you unless you open your eyes to see Him.

I have been on the Nitro as well and am feeling much better energy and better recovery while working out. Overall I think I will add this as a good foundational product to my routine.Originally posted by bigpump23

What I like about the Nitro is that it's pure essential aminos without any other stuff mixed in which might affect the absorption. I wouldn't compare ICE to Nitro b/c it's mainly a glutamine and BCAA formula which is good but not what I was looking for. Nitro Jet has too many minerals added to it (I'd rather take just the pure essential aminos- plus the packs make it convenient for me- I can bring em' to work and to the gym with me by just tossing two packs in my pocket) I work at a vitamin store so I have easy access to the Nitro and its a great price for 44 servings at around 30 bucks.Originally posted by youngvet1

I'm really impressed with the Animal Nitro b/c the formula mimics human muscle protein so it's not just any old essential blend. I checked some studies up on essential aminos and the studies that were done used this same human muscle protein blend.Last edited by ballbags1; 07-14-2004 at 08:05 AM.

most amino acid pills are so cheap because so much **** is added to them its more like a "protein pill" as described on animalpak.com animal nitro is supposed to be the purest around.

I'm only using the Nitro on my workout days. Because it's essential aminos I've read that they are able to get into your systemic circulation quickly which is most beneficial during the workout times.Originally posted by futballman

Well it's been a little over a week since I've been on the Nitro. I have my bodyfat checked last night...it's gone down .6%. But my bodyweight has stayed the same. My strength has increased on flat bench...I went from 225 @ 6 reps to 235 @ 6reps, Also with squats I was able to grind out 325lbs (btf's) for 7 reps- so in these lifts I was up. Overall I'm feeling pumped and refreshed for my workouts...recovery time seems quicker and I'm more mentally focused during the workout. I really want to see what happens if I stack this with a creatine product but first I want to try this product for the full cycle before adding anything else to my supplement arsenal. But so far so good.
