Where to start

These eight references are our starter selection: the four families it makes sense to begin with — pre-workout, creatine, ashwagandha and sleep. They cover the three moments that really count: before the session, during the progression, and the night that follows.

Creatine: the foundation

It is the most studied sports supplement in the world, and the only one in this selection with an explicit European health claim: creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise, for a daily intake of 3 g. Your choice of the 500 g powder (142 servings, unflavoured) or the chewable gummies, which solve the problem of forgetting.

Pre-workout: before the session

Two flavours, green apple and tropical, 500 g per tub, i.e. 33 servings. Each serving provides 149 mg of caffeine, L-citrulline, beta-alanine and creatine. One detail that matters: no health claim is authorised on caffeine in the European Union — the Commission rejected them. So we describe the formula and its dosage, without promising an effect.

Sleep: melatonin

Melatonin is one of the few substances with a precise European claim: it contributes to the reduction of time taken to fall asleep, with 1 mg taken shortly before bedtime. Available as capsules in the Melatonin complex, or as Sleep gummies with valerian, passionflower and magnesium.

Ashwagandha: what the law allows us to say

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a root from the Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia, much in demand among athletes. Health claims on plants are still awaiting evaluation at European level: so we state the extract, its ratio and its dosage, and nothing more. In capsules for the long course, in gummies for the daily serving.
