      Animal PM FAQ #3: Should I take Animal PM on an empty stomach or a meal OK?

      Q: Should I take Animal PM on an empty stomach?

      A: Ideally you should for the best possible absorption. That said, we’re realistic. We know many bodybuilders take a shake or other meal like cottage cheese before bedtime – and this was designed for bodybuilders. So in this case, take your PM pack 30 minutes before eating that last meal and you should be fine.

      truth is that life is hard and dangerous
      he who seeks his own happiness does not find it
      he who is weak must suffer
      he who demands love will be disappointed
      he who is greedy will not be fed
      he who seeks peace will find strife
      truth is only for the brave
      joy is only for him who does not fear to be alone
      life is only for the one who is not afraid to die

      Never let the fear of striking out stop u from playing the game

      Pop it as your laying down, that would be fine brother. Just because before the meal, your having Torrent, so there is no need to take it then.

      I posted a separate thread including this question as well, but I figured it was worth posting here as well.

      The directions given here for using PM when eating a meal before bed are pretty much the opposite of what is suggested on the PM packaging. This FAQ says to take PM and eat 30 minutes later. The package says to eat, allow 30 minutes for digestion, then take PM.

      I just want to have some clarification as to which would be more effective or some reasoning as to differing opinions.

      Thanks.
