Animal Pak and a protein shake??

[martylavender]

I started taking The Universal Animal Pak as my base supplement recently. Some of the pills are just rediculous and there is no way I can swallow them. I can only get about half of them down.

If I take those remaining pills smash them up drop them in my protien shake and take them that way, is that hurting anything? The idea is to get all of that in my body either way right?

No doubt the protien shake is pretty foul tasting after that but its obvioulsy easier for me to get those pills down.

Any ideas? Does anyone else have a creative way of getting these bastards down?

I am sure you can smash them up, but that will just negate the entire reasoning as to why the pills are the way they are..
These paks/pills are designed for precisely meaning they are "big" or in capsule or a gel-cap for time-released reasons.
Obviously capsules, gel-caps are quicker, hence absorbed quicker in the body. Pak's pills are designed to be "Time-Released" in the body naturally, instead of a so-called "time-released" ingredient/formula...w/e..this is real stuff.

I say, just keep trying to take the pills..do them individually, pair them up witha big one and the small round one...
some say warm water helps lubricate the throat and hence, the pills would go down easier..
i would say just relax the throat, and take a nice big gulp...anyway you can do it, just do it! It will benefit you, your gains and overall health..sooner than later you'll find yourself popping 2,3,4, or even all of them at once..trust me..take your time...don't break/smash em up..
good luck..if anything else is needed, more info/help, feel free to PM me..

Bro there really is no way to get down those pills any easier. I have been on pak for about a year and half and I still havent found the perfect way to take them. The only thing I do is put 1-2 pills on my mouth and chug some water. If it means mean going through a couple of bottles/glasses of water then so be it. But its a staple in ur supplement. I would just try pill for pill one at a time.

Yeah bro, you just gotta ralax and slam them bitches. You get used to it sooner or later.

[simpleguy]

the tabs are time-released bro, if you blend'em you won't have those vitamins in you 2 hours after having that vitamin shake, see my point? but if you swallow the tabs, you will

I got used to it in a short time, so I don't see why you couldn't... yeah I hated taking it as well, but now I down 5-6 tabs at a time... so it's less agony

[dclutter1]

Like everyone else said; it gets easier. Just stick with it.

[martylavender]

Ok so I just fucking manned up the last 3 mornings and just slammed those bitches down. If I tilt my head up when I down them its waaaaay easier. I can actually down them with water now.

So yeah

I can honestly say I actually felt different since I have been just taking the pills

Good deal! It gets better with time!

[martylavender]

For sure

Just man up and take em! just kiddin, you gotta get em all in though...otherwise you won't be gettin all the benefit you know.

The first time I took a pak, I didn't think I could do it...took a liter of water. I now take em in one gulp. Just give it time bud.

[martylavender]

I know they can only benefit me. I have felt a difference so far already so I know they are doing something.

[Wild Bill]

You will get used to it..... I can take the whole freakin pak at once w/o a prob. In fact when people at work give me shit about eating the same thing every day, I slam them and it shuts people up. :)

This is funny lol. I mean, you lift iron and eat beef but you're having problems downing pills lol. No offense, just funny, man. I'm stacking m-stak and pump and I'm downing around 15 pills. If I add my other supps, I'm probably downing 20 just in the morning. Kind of a drag really, but nothing a guy who lifts iron can't handle, right?

[bigunz85]

open ur fucken mouth and down it. dont complain. no excuses i down a all 11 pills at the same time. open ur throat and down that fucken shit.

[Joseb]

looool
you can get under that squat bar but not down the pak?
the pak is like candy for me :]

It'll get easier as you take it more and more. Warm water does help. I've been taking the pak for about 2 1/2 years and every once in a while I have problems taking it. At one point in time, I was downing around 50 pills a day (pak and other supplements). It may take some time, but before long, you'll down the pak with one big gulp of water.

[martylavender]

Progress

I can down like 3 pills at a time! Heh
