Universal Nutrition Animal Stak 2 is for serious lifters. Do you want to get bigger and stronger. Who doesn't? So you look for every advantage. You train balls out and you eat big. But you want more. Optimizing your body's levels of naturally-occurring anabolic hormones - hormones like testosterone and growth hormone (GH) - can make a huge difference when it comes to making the gains you want. That's what we designed Animal Stak 2 to do - to work naturally with your body to enhance the function of testosterone and growth hormone.
When it comes to optimizing hormone levels, there's a couple of things to take into consideration:
- (1) first, you'd want to make sure your testosterone levels aren't low - nutritional deficiencies can cause low serum testosterone levels;
- (2) you'd want to minimize the conversion of anabolic hormones like testosterone to hormones such as estrogen and dihydrotestosterone (DHT);
- (3) finally, you'd want to make sure that your ratios of “free” testosterone to “total” testosterone are advantageous.
By addressing all three issues, you could tap into your body's true potential. We engineered Animal Stak to address all three aspects of hormone management mentioned above, making it a complete natural “test” pack. Animal Stak 2 contains ingredients to help prevent estrogen and DHT conversion, a natural process. It also includes nutrients that can help increase serum testosterone levels. Of the three though, the most important element is probably the ratios of “free” to “total” testosterone.
The average male has anywhere between 300-1000 ng/dl of “total” testosterone in his body. Problem is, total testosterone doesn't indicate how much testosterone is actually usable by the body. In other words, even if you have high total testosterone levels, you can't take advantage of it. This is because the vast majority of testosterone is “bound” up in your body. That's why you have to look at “free” testosterone. Free testosterone is the form of testosterone that exerts the anabolic effects strength athletes are after; it's the stuff that gives you results.
While valuable, the problem with free testosterone is that it comes in very small quantities. In fact, only a tiny fraction of total testosterone comes in the free, or active form (less than 2%). Think about it this way: even though you might have 700 ng/dl of total testosterone, only 14 ng/dl or less as free testosterone might be able to enter cells in order to produce results by binding to androgen receptors. So while you want to increase total testosterone, you especially want to increase free testosterone.
So if you're looking for an alternate route to get the most out of anabolic hormones, and you got everything else in order, then it's time to give Animal Stak 2 a shot. Whether you have low, moderate, or high testosterone levels, Animal Stak 2 can help you tap into that 98% of testosterone in your body that is unusable so that you can reach your potential.Animal Stak 2 is designed for:
• Lifters looking for a natural anabolic edge
• Athletes wanting to avoid prohormones
• Those interested in strength & performance
"WHAT STRENGTH!!!! My leg press was at an all time high and for 6 reps no less! Body weight is getting lower and strength is increasing… My supplement regime has not changed other than adding this test product. I am looking bigger and leaner than I did for my last show just a few weeks ago and at a heavier body weight. You guys are definitely finding the right chemical equations because everything I have tried that you make has done something positive for my growth."
