      Animal Flex FAQ #1: When should I take Animal Flex?

      Q: When should I take Animal Flex?

      A: Animal Flex, should be taken along with food. You can take it with any of your meals throughout the day. Many athletes like the structure of using the Pak in the morning and Flex before bed.

      I have started Animal Pak and Flex this week.

      I was taking 1 Gram Glucosomine, 1g Vit C and Omega oils with Flax oil in the evening, maybe I should drop these now I`m taking Flex and let Flex do its job, thoughts?

      Good thought bro. Let Animal Flex do its job and trust me from first hand experience it gets the job done- I swear by it.

      I've just been in the habit of taking Pak w/ breakfast, Flex w/ lunch, and Omega before bed. But yeah as long as it's with a meal should be good 2 go.

      I just picked up my first cans of flex cuz my shoulders have been killin me with my new routine. I like the idea of takinf Flex before bed, but in a couple weeks I will be testing a product for another company (Muscle Pharms Bullet Proof.. its a nighttime recovery/growth supp. I basically just want to see if there's anything in these 2 supps that will interact, or if I should just play it safe and take Flex earlier in the day (pre workout), or even with/just after my pwo shake (I workout between 7-10pm). Thanks brothers!!

      Been taking Flex for about 3 weeks now and I can honestly say that I don't feel as achy in the morning when I wake up. I've also been going without my wrist wraps some days just to see if I can tell the difference. It's good shit, bro's. I recommend it!!!

      Hi,

      I'm just started to take Animal Pak and Flex. I take Pak with breakfast and Flex before bed as recommended. But, is taking Flex before bed a good idea ? If I'm not mistaken, we should let our body to relax during sleep, it's not good to push it to work. Furthermore, will the absorption reduce ?

      Is it recommended to take Flex together with Pak with breakfast ? Will this give better result ? Is it OK to take 19 pills together ? Will it affect the absorption ?

      Sorry ya ... just join the Animal Club and have too many question .... By the way, I'm not bodybuilder, I'm just taking the martial art class.

      you're not pushing your body by any means when taking flex, believe me... have it before bed and you'll be fine

      I wouldn't take it with pak since it is advised not to take it with calcium-containing food/supps and the pak has plenty of it

      I'll be starting Flex shortly, probably taking it at night, and I was wondering; if taking it with calcium-containing foods reduces the effectiveness, should I cut out the casein/cottage cheese before bed as these are high in calcium?

      Its not necessarily going to help you with DOMS, something like Nitro would help with that. Flex is more for Joints and Ligaments as apposed to muscles themselves.
