Creatine monohydrate: what the research actually says

Creatine monohydrate is one of the most-studied ingredients in sports nutrition. A daily intake of 3g has been shown to support performance: creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise, such as repeated sprints or weight training.

It is unflavoured and mixes into water, juice or a shake. Consistency matters more than timing — take it every day.

Whey isolate vs whey concentrate: which should you choose?

Whey concentrate and whey isolate both come from milk, but isolate is filtered further — leaving more protein per scoop and less lactose, carbohydrate and fat. Concentrate is typically cheaper and tastes a little creamier.

If you find regular whey leaves you bloated, an isolate blend is usually the more comfortable choice. Either way, protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.

How much protein do you actually need each day?

If you train regularly, general nutrition guidance suggests most active adults aim for roughly 1.4–2.0 g of protein per kilogram of bodyweight per day, spread across meals. A protein supplement is simply a convenient way to top up when whole-food meals fall short.

Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass and to the maintenance of muscle mass and of normal bones. Spreading intake across the day, with a serving around training, is a practical approach.

Our Whey Protein delivers 24g per scoop to make hitting your daily target easier.
