Animal Pak Multivitamin
by Universal Nutrition · The Original Athlete's Multivitamin Since 1983
What Is Animal Pak?
Animal Pak is not a standard multivitamin. It is the foundational performance supplement serious athletes, bodybuilders, and strength competitors have trusted since 1983 — the benchmark by which every other all-in-one athletic multivitamin is measured. Each 2-pack serving delivers 85+ highly absorbable nutrients across 8 distinct performance complexes, replacing the equivalent of 12 individual supplements in a single daily protocol.
The reformulated Animal Pak — now delivering industry-leading results with 25% fewer pills — maintains the complete nutrient density that built its legendary reputation while upgrading bioavailability, immunity support, and cellular metabolism optimization. This is the one supplement that fills every gap — nutritional, recovery, performance, and protective — that every other product in your stack cannot cover alone.
The 8 Performance Complexes
💊 1 · Vitamins & Minerals Foundation A full-spectrum, athlete-dosed vitamin and mineral matrix covering 25 essential micronutrients — many at 5–60× standard RDA values to meet the elevated demands of heavy training. ▼
Athletic training dramatically increases the body's utilization of B-vitamins for energy metabolism, Vitamin C for connective tissue repair and immune function, and Zinc for testosterone production and protein synthesis. Animal Pak addresses all of these at therapeutic athletic doses — not baseline sedentary RDA values.
