Do you think it would be better if the levels of B vitamins simply built up in your body, never being eliminated?

Unless levels build up in the body indefinitely, EVERYTHING consumed also leaves.

So the logic that something that’s “pissed away” therefore shouldn’t be taken seems problematic.

Animal Pak is one of the most poorly designed “packs” out there.

And here is some reasons why:

Magnesium(as Oxide) 133mg 33%
(Oxide cannot be processed by your body)

Zinc(as Oxide) 30mg 200%
(Same reason)

Now if they cant make 2 of of the 4 major minerals you need properly, it does not say alot about the rest of the products bioavailability

Never heard oxides could not be used by the body. What sources do you have on that?
