Hi ,
My husband is attending gym on a regular basis. Recently he started to take as supplements " Animal pack " from Universal. But there are days when he is not feeling well, and his heart starts beating relly fast. He soed not have a heart condition but it seems that he is sensitive to cafeine or similar extracts.

Hello!
It is very possible that a combination of the amino acids, herbs or carnitine in the Animal Pack could be contributing to heart palpitations. I have seen people who are sensitive to caffeine react to ginseng and other similar herbs. However with any new onset of cardiovascular symptoms, such as racing heart, it is important to visit your primary care doctor for basic blood work and EKG.
Good luck to you!
