Optimising your fitness journey involves more than just training; it's also about how you support your body with quality nutrition. Whether you're chasing a new PB, prepping for a marathon, or just wanting to train smarter, our performance range offers clean, effective support for every phase of your workout.
Let's explore our key performance products, understanding their purpose, how to use them, and how they can be integrated to support your training goals.
PRE | For a Workout Boost
Designed to elevate your energy, endurance, and mental clarity, PRE is your go-to for high-intensity sessions. It features natural caffeine (100mg per serve), creatine, citrulline malate, and beta-alanine to boost strength and delay fatigue, without the crash.
Purpose: To enhance strength, energy, endurance, and mental focus during your workout.
When to use: Consume approximately 30 minutes prior to your workout.
Best for: High-intensity gym sessions, weightlifting, CrossFit, team sports practices, or any activity where you need an extra burst of energy, focus, and drive to push through.
Non-Stim PRE | For Stimulant-Free Performance
For those training later in the day or sensitive to caffeine, Non-Stim PRE delivers clean energy and focus without stimulants. It includes performance-enhancing ingredients like creatine, citrulline malate, beta-alanine, and Alpha-GPC to support strength, endurance, and mental clarity.
Purpose: To support workout performance – including energy, focus, endurance, and reduced muscle fatigue – without the use of stimulants.
When to use: Consume approximately 30 minutes before your workout.
Best for: Perfect for evening workouts, late-night gym sessions, individuals sensitive to caffeine, or anyone looking for a performance boost without the stimulant effect. It's suitable for all the same types of activities as our regular PRE, just without caffeine.
Endurance | For Sustained Energy
True Endurance is your go-to energy formulation for prolonged, high-effort sessions. Designed to support endurance performance, it delivers a precise blend of carbohydrates, essential amino acids (EAAs) and premium electrolytes to fuel sustained output and help prevent muscle breakdown.
Purpose: To provide a continuous source of energy to muscles during prolonged exercise, primarily through its blend of carbohydrates and electrolytes.
When to use: Typically consumed before or during strenuous training sessions or events lasting longer than 60 minutes, ideally around 30 minutes before starting.
Best for: Long-distance running, cycling, triathlons, hiking, multi-sport events, and extended training sessions where maintaining energy levels over an hour or more is crucial.
Electrolyte | For Essential Hydration
After intense training, replenishing lost fluids and electrolytes is crucial. True Electrolyte is a hypotonic solution designed for rapid hydration, containing an optimal blend of sodium, potassium, magnesium, and carbohydrates to restore balance and support recovery.
Purpose: To support rapid hydration and restore electrolyte balance, crucial for maintaining optimal bodily functions. It's about replacing what you lose through sweat.
When to use: Can be consumed before, during, or after exercise, or as part of your daily routine for general hydration, especially in warmer conditions or during active periods.
Best for: Any activity causing sweat loss, including gym workouts, team sports (football, netball, basketball), hiking, yoga, or simply hot days. It's a foundational supplement for maintaining overall hydration.
Creatine | For Strength & Power
Creatine Monohydrate is one of the most researched and effective supplements for increasing strength, power, and muscle mass. True Protein's Creatine Mono is a premium-grade, German-sourced creatine with 99.99% purity, ensuring optimal absorption and performance.
Purpose: Creatine helps enhance your body's capacity to produce energy quickly, particularly during short, intense bursts of activity. This mechanism supports power output for activities like lifting, sprinting, and explosive movements by improving the availability of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy molecule for muscle contractions.
When to Use: You can take Creatine Mono pre-workout (approximately 30-60 minutes before, ideally with carbohydrates), post-workout (within 30 minutes after training, potentially with a protein shake for optimal nutrient uptake), or even on rest days with water or another liquid. It has a neutral taste and dissolves well, making it easy to integrate with other supplements.
Best for: Highly beneficial for strength training, powerlifting, bodybuilding, CrossFit, sprinting, interval training, and any sport requiring explosive movements like rugby, football, or basketball.
Integrating for Performance: Building Your Regimen
The effectiveness of these products can be significantly enhanced when you consider how they fit into your overall training and recovery strategy. Each product serves a distinct function that can contribute to a more comprehensive approach to your fitness goals.
For Intensive Strength & Power Sessions (Typically <60mins):
For workouts focused on lifting heavy, explosive movements, or intense short bursts, here's how to stack your True Protein essentials:
-
PRE (or Non-Stim PRE): Take your chosen pre-workout about 30 minutes before your session. This gives you an immediate boost in energy, focus, and strength, helping you push through those tough sets. Choose PRE if you want a stimulant kick, or Non-Stim PRE if you prefer to avoid caffeine (great for evening workouts!).
-
Creatine Monohydrate: Incorporate Creatine Monohydrate daily. It supports explosive power and strength development over time, making it an ideal partner for your pre-workout to maximise performance in the gym. (Quick note: Our PRE blends already contain some creatine, so consider this when planning your daily creatine dosage.)
For Endurance Activities (Typically >60mins)
When your activity demands sustained energy and consistent performance over longer periods, these products work together to keep you going:
-
True Endurance: Use True Endurance before and/or during your activity. This provides essential carbohydrates and amino acids to fuel your muscles for the long haul and help prevent fatigue.
-
True Electrolyte: Keep True Electrolyte on hand for targeted hydration. It's best consumed separately from True Endurance – for example, between doses of True Endurance or immediately post-activity, especially if you're sweating extensively.
-
Key Distinction: Remember, True Endurance is designed for sustained energy and fuel over long durations, while True Electrolyte is for rapid rehydration and replenishing essential salts. Do not mix them simultaneously, as their combined electrolyte load could be excessive.
For Overall Performance & Recovery Support
Beyond specific workout types, these products can form the foundation of a daily regimen to support your general well-being, recovery, and consistent performance:
-
Creatine Monohydrate: A consistent daily intake of Creatine Monohydrate forms a solid foundation for building strength and aiding overall recovery.
-
PRE (or Non-Stim PRE): Depending on your training schedule and energy needs, use either PRE or Non-Stim PRE before your workouts for that extra drive and focus.
-
True Electrolyte: A valuable daily addition for optimal hydration, essential not just during exercise but for general bodily function and supporting faster recovery after any strenuous activity.
Conclusion
By understanding the individual roles of these supplements and how they can be strategically combined, you can develop a personalised and effective supplement regimen to support your specific fitness objectives.
