View Full Version : Animal Nitro...Necessary to wait?
Hey guys, quick question.
I know that on the can it states that you should wait at least 30 minutes after taking a pack of nitro to drink your post-workout protein/carb drink. But i was just wondering what you guys think of it. I normally take a pack of nitro do 20 minutes of cardio and then down my shake (2 scoops Whey Iso, 1 scoop Glycomaize) but on leg days when i dont do cardio...for obvious reasons haha, would it be alright to take a pack of nitro as soon as im done and then wait to drink my shake 30 minutes later after i drive home from the gym? or should i just take them at the same time? Thanks for the input guys, im sure someone will be able to share some knowledge about this topic.

Nitro 1st, shake 30 minutes later... This will allow for better absorption of the Nitro...

I take a pack of Nitro with my first sip of Torrent. I know Evan does this as well.

I've often just washed my Nitro down with my postworkout shake.
That said, when I train at night, often I'll have my protein/carb shake right after I train, go home and eat my whole food meal and then take 2 packs of Nitro before bed. You have to employ a strategy that best suits your diet and schedule.
Peace, G

I like spreading things out a bit just so I can stretch out the nutrients, but there is no absorbtion issues; do what's easiest for you.

I've done both, wait and wash it down with a pwo drink. Depends on what works for you. I have had success with both methods.

Do this exactly as well. I never wait.

Nitro together with PWO shake, in my case. Shake is whey, dextrose and creatine. Dextrose speeds up EAA delivery, thats the main reason I take them together.

Sorry, about that... I generally follow the directions on the labels, with good results... But, different things work for different people...
I take mine with dextrose and creatine also, for the uptake... I never read labels, I am a guy lol
Thanks for all the input guys, ill just stick to the way im usin it since it seems to work for me, i was just curious to see how everybody else used this awesome supp. Good to see that you can have so variety in the way you take it. thanks again!
