What
is anabolic? Protein synthesis. Nitrogen retention. "Nutrient-partitioning". The all new Animal M-Stak. A natural supplement
which helps boost anabolism and perfect for the classic "hardgainer" in all of us.
“I
don't need bullshit supplements out there for those 110 lb. guys... I
just need hardcore stuff that works. I'm a hardgainer. Not the
strongest man in the gym, but I hold my own. I'm 5'8" at 230 lb. with
18" arms. M-Stak helped me put on more mass and train like an animal in
the gym. You guys keep up the good work and I"ll train my balls off in
the gym and spread the word of Animal to everyone who asks me."

From
green beginner to diehard vet, we’ve all gone through it. Skidding to a
halt, our progress idles on a wretched plateau. Can’t gain another
pound, workouts are stale, lifts are static. This is the hardgainer’s
syndrome, and from the most slender of ectomorphs to the most muscular
endomorph, we’ve all been there. Desperate to ignite new growth, we’ll
try almost anything.
For those of us so dedicated to this game, these frequent moments of
desperation have come to an end. The new M-Stak is here, more powerful
than ever, designed to obliterate plateaus and spark an explosion of
raw muscle hypertrophy. Building on the legacy built by the original
M-Stak formula, the new M-Stak has taken all of the most potent
components of its predecessor and cranked it up to the next level.
M-Stak has long been built on a foundation of natural anabolic
flavones. These substances mimic the actions of bodybuilding
pharmaceuticals, but without the harsh and undesirable side effects.
Born from Eastern European athletic studies, these anabolic flavones
have long been highly touted as performance enhancers capable of
eliciting dramatic gains in lean muscle mass. The new M-Stak formula
combines the most potent of these anabolic compounds in more hearty
dosages, making the long storied anabolic potential of the product all
the greater.
Primary among these flavones are Beta-Ecdysterone and
Methoxyisoflavone. These ingredients have the ability to shuttle
nutrients toward lean mass accumulation, a process known as nutrient
partitioning. Beyond this, these anabolic flavones promote enhanced
protein synthesis and nitrogen retention. These are the mechanisms most
crucial in the process of new muscle growth, brought about by M-Stak
without any hormonal manipulation.
Rounding out the Natural Flavone/Sterone Complex are Ajuga Turkestanica
and Beta Sitosterol. Ajuga Turkestanica contains the potent
phytosteroid extract Turkesterone, known to be extremely powerful in
advancing protein synthesis. Beta Sitosterol, while having its own
inherent anabolic potential, is a cortisol combating compound with
dramatic pro-immunity effects.
With M-Stak, you also get a mega potent anti-catabolic amino blend.
With advanced forms of leucine and the other BCAAs spearheading the
mixture, these aminos work from a cellular level to directly stimulate
protein synthesis. Studies show that by adding leucine along with a
protein/carb meal, you get even greater whole body net protein balance
than just consuming protein and carbs alone. These aminos help to
stimulate muscle recovery and protein synthesis via translation
regulations, all through non-hormonal means. They do this by
manipulating key muscle growth regulators such as mTOR, PKB, p70s6k,
4E-BP1, FOXO and MAFbx. These aminos essentially work as a signal for
turning on the muscle building process, allowing increased muscle
anabolism following a training session.
We’ve also included key “anabolic adaptogens” such as safed musli,
muira puama, rhodiola rosea and kudzu extract. Together these herbs
have been shown to help increase physical training capacity, improve
endurance, minimize the catabolic stress response, decrease mental
fatigue as well as support healthy libido and boost immune system
function. These are critical factors for naturally enhancing ones
performance levels in the gym.
You also get potent insulin potentiators which work to maximize insulin
production. Potent compounds such as K-R-ALA and CinnulinPF™ help your
body to utilize ultra anabolic insulin both effectively and
efficiently. This equates to increased uptake of glycogen and increased
muscle cell volume which contributes to that full, pumped feeling when
you workout.
M-Stak also delivers a potent energy blend, packed with powerful,
natural stimulants, methylxanthines and evodiamine, which are designed
to propel you through even the most grueling of training sessions. The
addition of this complex, easily identifiable by its red capsule, makes
M-Stak perfect for pre-training, lighting that fire under your ass that
we all need from time to time.
Finally, M-Stak’s M-Factor transport complex works to maximize nutrient
utilization to ensure all of the powerful components of the formula are
processed to maximum efficacy. Using ginger root extract coupled with
the ultra potent absorption enhancers bergmottin and bioperine, you can
be sure that the myriad growth factors in the M-Stak formula are
working to their full capacity and are not going to waste.
M-Stak floods your system with an abundance of anabolic nutrients,
switching your muscle building signals on and turning them to full
blast. Combining potent flavones and sterones in hefty doses with the
most anabolic of amino blends supported by an array pf cutting edge
asaptogens in a single pretraining pack designed for optimum
absorption, the new Animal M-Stak takes non-hormonal anabolics to a
whole new level. Animal M-Stak, The Ultimate Hardgainer’s Stack, has
come to turn "hardgainers" into "hard" gainers.
Take
one pack every day for 21 consecutive days. On training days, take a
pack 45 minutes prior to exercise. On non-training days, take a pack in
the morning or early afternoon.
When
you want to fully maximize muscle, performance, and strength, and you
want to fully optimize your body's anabolic drive, stack Animal
M•Stak with Animal Pump and Universal's Torrent.
