I just went to a GNC on my base and was told that they can no longer carry Animal Pak because some troops tested positive on a urinalysis and that the military has banned it from being sold on base. Does anyone know why it would test positive? I have been taking the Pak for 2 years and love it. Fortunately for me I am retired from the Air Force.

I am in the army, i looked in both of the gnc's here on ft hood, and they both got the pak. there is nothing in animalpak that could cause a positive test. when i went into the stores, i asked the guy where they keep all the universal stuff, and he pointed to the corner saying that they arent very good, i dont normally buy from gnc but have gotten some stories from them on why i should buy their brand or the flashy one. i think the guy just told you a fib to get you to buy something that he is told to push.

Agreed. Dont put to much stock into what you hear coming out of the mouths of GNC employees. I call BS on this for that reason, and also because as a drug tested NCAA athlete, I can say that I have never tested positive for anything while using the Pak or any other Animal supplement for that matter. I cant speak for military drug tests, but the Pak is all natural bro, nothing should make you test positive.

That is what I thought. Like I said I have been taking the Pak for 2 years and have been tested at least twice and never a problem. I hope that any other military personnel that have been told the same thing will not listen and just find the Pak somewhere else.

I'm here at Osan AB Korea and the GNC here caries Animal products. Matter of fact thats where I bought my pak.
Yeah man. He was lying out of his ass.
Ft. Dix/Mcguire AFB carry pak in the GNC AND in the commisary.
I was at Ft.Meade the other day and same thing.
I know. Call me a little weird. Whenever I'm in a store that sells vitamins I check to see if they sell Pak too. Makes me smile when I see the big yellow tub sittin there all pretty like.
ya bro i go to the gnc at luke air force base in az and they carry animal pak, pump and M-Stak

How could Animalpak test positive?
It a multivitamin/mineral, Amino Acid complex essentially
What is their to test?
Sheer stupidity in my opinion
