apparantly health canada has labelled this a banned sports substance. stores arent getting any more shipments and are selling what they have left....

just a heads up in case you were lookin for some in the near future.

Does anyone know the substance that is the culprit in getting the Animal Pak banned in Canada? Not expensive enough to be banned in the USA.
Most drug companies like items to be prescription so you have to pay more or at least split the cost with your insurance company.

that weird, a friend of mine (22 years old) developed a heart condition a few months after taking that stuff, not thats its to blame, but i wonder??

argh that scares me :(

are you sure it was Animal Pak , or Stak ??

Ok i called the dude at the store back and he says that Universal did not apply for a Natural Food Product licence for Animal Pak. Therefore now that they are checking for NFP numbers at the border, Animal Pak did not make it through.

I told him that the guy yesterday at the other store said there was a specific substance that was the reason behind the ban, and he said he wasn't sure, but if he were to guess it would be Alcarnotene (sp?)

can any of you other canucks check your local supplement stores and ask them about this too??

WOW that is crazy.

Black Market Animal Packs LOL

Then again there are some items you can walk into a Canadian Supplement store and pick up and yet are presription in the US.

BTW do Sup stores in Canada still sell beer and donuts?

Ha couldn't resist, love you Canadians.

BTW why don't more Canadians buy from online Canadian Stores rather than US. I have heard various reasons but would like to hear from you guys.

Thanks

I like picking my supplements up on the fly. My store is just up the street from my house so online stores are up against some pretty tough competition.

lol you sound like you live in northern ontario or somethin

Yeah, I work in a supplement chain in Canada, and we have recently stopped accepting shipments of the whole Universal line unfortunately. At first it was Animal Cuts, because if I am not mistaken Yohimbe is illegal. Unfortunate nonetheless

Yohimbe is illegal?
my local Cost plus nutrition store here sells it in vials.
