The Original Since 1983

WHO WE ARE In 1983, Animal was founded with the birth of Animal Pak, the venerable training “pack” that started it all. Born from the needs and desires of pro bodybuilders, Animal has grown prodigiously over the decades. Today, Animal has stood the test of time and been proven in the trenches day in and day out. The name stands for trust, integrity and a no nonsense approach to the game.

It is foundational, “core” nutrition that provides the basic nutritional framework for any lifter serious about iron warfare. OUR IRONCLAD GUARANTEE Animal is dedicated to being the best in the business, no two ways about it. If this product doesn't meet with your tough requirements for any reason, let us know. When it comes to standing behind our products, we don't mess around. That's the truth.
