EFAs are those necessary fats that we as humans are unable to synthesize in our bodies and must be obtained from either diet or supplementation. Just like essential amino acids (EAAs as found in Animal Nitro), and other essential micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals, we need optimum amounts in order for the body to function properly, let alone to make gains in lean mass. Getting the proper EFAs isn't always easy, especially when they are hard to obtain with a typical diet. A typical diet consists of an overabundance of saturated fats, trans fats, and those fats from plant sources (think of common cooking oils) usually overloaded with omega 6 compounds, as they are the easiest and most economical to get your hands on. Omega 6s are important, as they are EFAs too. But it's not just the types of fats. It's also the ratios. More on that later.

EFAs are those necessary fats that we as humans are unable to synthesize in our bodies and must be obtained from either diet or supplementation. Just like essential amino acids (EAAs as found in Animal Nitro), and other essential micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals, we need optimum amounts in order for the body to function properly, let alone to make gains in lean mass. Getting the proper EFAs isn't always easy, especially when they are hard to obtain with a typical diet. A typical diet consists of an overabundance of saturated fats, trans fats, and those fats from plant sources (think of common cooking oils) usually overloaded with omega 6 compounds, as they are the easiest and most economical to get your hands on. Omega 6s are important, as they are EFAs too. But it's not just the types of fats. It's also the ratios. More on that later.
EFAs have been clinically proven to exert positive effects in many areas, including-balancing insulin levels, thermogenesis, anabolism, hormone synthesis, fertility, prostaglandin function, immune function, repair of cellular membranes, enabling cells to obtain optimum nutrition and more. For the bodybuilder, EFAs are vital for optimal metabolism, hormone production, cardiovascular health, peak performance, reducing exercise soreness and maximizing fat burning. It's a wonder why they are so overlooked and underutilized by the population.
For supplementation purposes there are only 2 types of fats that are needed; Omega 3's (n-3) and Omega 6's (n-6). Omega 9 is necessary, yet not essential because it can be made by the body in modest amounts. The reason why the body can't make an n-3 or n-6 fatty acid is that human metabolism can't add a double bond to a fatty acid that is more than 9 carbons away from the delta end (acid end). This is also the reason why the body can't convert an n-3 fatty acid to an n-6 fatty acid. Yeah, it sounds like science mumbo jumbo, but is important to see from a chemistry perspective why it's so hard to obtain the right EFAs from the diet.
This is where a supplement like Animal Omega comes into play. Sure, it ain't fancy. No cool bells and whistles here, just the basics. It's not going to "pack on 10 lb in a week" but long-term, it'll get ya to where ya want to be. EFAs are needed, not just any old EFAs, but the right kinds and the right amounts. That's what Animal Omega is all about. Omega is the most complete EFA product on the market. It contains the right fats that bodybuilders require. It's a full spectrum, molecularly distilled EFA supplement, each pack containing a precise and pre-dosed ratio of n-3 to n-6. It is packed with sources of Omega 3 oils extracted from various fish sources such as salmon, cod liver, herring, and plant-sourced omega 3s from flaxseed oil. Such a well-rounded mixture, ensures that you obtain all of the various n-3 extracts that are so important for general health. You get the balance of alpha linoleic acid from flax and the key fish oil extracts, EPA and DHA.
Animal Omega is then rounded out with key Omega 6 oils, including; borage, evening primrose, sesamin, and CLA. Linoleic acid is the other essential fatty acid found in nature. As said before, lack of n-6 in ones diet is hard to come by. However, there is a specific form of n-6, gamma linoneic acid or GLA, that is crucial for health. This is contained in ample doses in Omega. The body uses n-6 essential fatty acids to make various prostaglandins and leukotrienes. These substances influence inflammation and pain; some of them increase symptoms, while others decrease them.
Another n-6 found in Animal Omega is CLA. CLA, is touted for its ability to reduce body fat, being anti-catabolic, acting as an antioxidant and enhancing the immune system. Although exactly how CLA works is completely understood, it's been show by the research community that CLA positively influences the metabolism and assists with fat regulation and protein metabolism. CLA, though is not specifically an EFA, (it's a naturally occurring fatty acid found in meal and dairy) is an important addition to the Animal Omega formula as its health promoting properties were too good to pass up.
Sesamin is another hot ingredient added to the Omega formula. It's a naturally occurring lignan found in sesame oil. Research has shown sesamin can help maximize fat loss, support liver and kidney health and maintain healthy lipid profiles when combined along with other EFAs as found in Animal Omega. Sesamin is touted as a promising ingredient in the process of lean mass recomposition.
All of these potent fatty nutrients are supported by a comprehensive nutrient transport complex which allows for maximum absorption and utilization and transport of Omega's essential fatty acids. L-carnitine, lipase and lecithin make up the complex so you rest assured that the components that make up the n-3 and n-6 complexes are actually getting into your system efficiently and effectively. Another important aspect of this complex is the addition of important antioxidants, Vitamins A, D and E, which ensure EFA stability and prevents 'em from breaking down in the can. A must have for any type of EFA supplement. This translates to ultra potent softgels right from the get-go.
All in all, Animal Omega provides essential nutrition for the bodybuilder. It's loaded with all of the right fats, in a proper ratio of n-3 to n-6 to help support high quality metabolic functioning and body recomposition. It also supports cardio-vascular protection, a healthy immune system and overall health and well being. It won't change your physique overnight, but it will be an important addition to your long term physique goals.
Grenade Ration Pack is a complete, daily food supplement, designed to provide comprehensive nutritional support to hard-training athletes and military personnel. Grenade believe that Ration Pack provides the ideal ratios and dosages of quality vitamins, minerals, trace elements, phytonutrients, essential fatty acids and probiotics required to create the best foundation for muscle growth, repair and overall health. In fact, it has been determined that the various ingredients in Grenade Ration Pack can contribute to:
• Normal protein synthesis (the muscle-building process)*
• Maintenance of normal muscle function*
• Blood levels of testosterone (within the normal range)*
• A reduction in tiredness and fatigue*
• The normal production of thyroid hormones (which help control the metabolic rate)*
• Normal glycogen (muscle energy storage) metabolism*
• Normal immune function*
• Protection of cells from oxidative stress*
• Normal blood cholesterol and heart function*
The key to Grenade Ration Pack is that it is a ‘Full Spectrum’, daily nutritional supplement that contains everything you need in one convenient, ‘tear off’ strip. Anyone can put together a basic multi-vitamin/mineral supplement with decent levels of all of the basic micronutrients that the body requires but some people want more and some people require more. Let’s face it, athletes, fitness professionals and military personnel ask more of their bodies, creating muscular and oxidative stress and potentially increasing many of their nutritional requirements. Also, it is well-established that there is a lot more to ‘complete’ nutrition than just getting all of your vitamins.
That’s why Grenade has gone several steps further in formulating a comprehensive nutritional support supplement that looks at the big picture and covers all of the angles. Of course, Grenade Ration Pack has enhanced levels of the highest quality chelated and compounded vitamins and minerals but it also delivers phytonutrients, like the various catechins, procyanidins and esters that are found in specific plants and food constituents - many of these are behind the recognised benefits of fruits, vegetables and so-called ‘superfoods’. Also, Grenade researchers are convinced that no daily supplement could be complete without essential omega-3 fatty acids, so they added potent dosages of the most useable forms - EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Go ahead, compare how much EPA and DHA your omega-3 supplement delivers as compared to Grenade Ration Pack, we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised! Finally, to complete the arsenal, Grenade have added four specific and distinct probiotic cultures - the kinds of microorganisms that are found in our gut and in various yoghurt and other ‘live’ foods.
Just about every ‘multi’ has Vitamin A (carotenoids), B vitamins, vitamin C, D and E and most have calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc. A few of the slightly more advanced products have copper, selenium and chromium but most don’t contain much more than that. More sophisticated formulas will also include boron, molybdenum and possibly coenzyme Q10. However, beyond these, Grenade Ration Pack adds over 20 further research-studied ingredients, including Omega-3, essential fatty acids, which you usually have to buy separately. Other ingredients, just to name a few, are: lipoic acid, N-acetyl cysteine, lycopene, lutein, green tea polyphenols, quercetin and grape skin extract.
So far beyond the basics and even several steps beyond sophisticated ‘multi’ products, with Grenade Ration Pack, you get a variety of research-studied nutrient constituents, along with concentrated, ‘superfood’ extracts. So if you want a truly comprehensive formula, with everything you need in one box, that is packaged in convenient tear-off strips that are perfect to carry around to the gym or even when deployed on operations, then Grenade Ration Pack is the only product that ticks all the boxes.

One of the key components to bodybuilding progress is consistency - paying your dues day in and day out in the gym. The cumulative effect of this daily wear and tear over the weeks, months, and years, can be profound. When you're building a house, a big one, you need to make sure the foundation is rock solid because that house puts tremendous pressure on the foundation.
Now your body's foundation is your joints, ligaments, tendons, and all the connective tissue - the necessary stuff that supports your muscles, your training. The harder you train, the more massive amounts of weight and the numerous sets and reps performed in a typical workout, the more stress you put on your foundation. This constant pounding can take its toll, weaken it. And when a foundation crumbles, the house comes tumbling down.
Animal Flex is designed to help strengthen your body's foundation, to help protect your joints from the daily grind brought about by heavy duty weight training. Each pack of Animal Flex consists of several key joint protection complexes: (1) a potent joint construction complex to help repair connection tissue; (2) a lubrication complex to help cushion the joints from lifting; (3) a support complex to help promote rehabilitation and reduce soreness; and (4) a key vitamin/mineral support blend to help underscore optimal joint health. Animal Flex is your armor against the rigors of iron warfare. It is complete, comprehensive and effective.
