Peak Performance

Creatine provides your body with extra strength and energy to push harder and go further during your workouts so you can squeeze in those extra reps. This increased ability to perform in the gym can lead to enhanced results as you’ll be able to work harder and lift heavier.

To make the most of creatine, we recommend taking 5g of creatine powder (mixed with water) around 30 minutes before you start your workout. This allows the creatine time to flood your muscles and give you that extra boost. 

But, as long as you’re taking the minimum amount of creatine of 5g per day, you can still maintain your creatine stores whether you consume it in the morning, afternoon or evening. If you’re in a creatine loading phase, you should consume four 5g servings across the course of each day to increase your body’s supply of creatine.

Just add one 5g scoop to 100ml of water and shake or mix it up. Then consume immediately. One scoop per day is enough when you are in a maintenance phase, but four 5g scoops each day is recommended when in a loading phase.

Absolutely. Every Smart Protein product contains safe and effective ingredients, as well as being thoroughly tested to ensure it works without causing side effects. And our Peak Performance creatine powder is no different. 

Just make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day, as creatine provides water to your muscles to keep them hydrated. So you’ll need to keep yourself topped up and fully hydrated to get the most out of your creatine.

Creatine can help you reach the next level by boosting your workout intensity while unlocking your potential for muscle growth and fat burning. 

By fuelling your body with power, creatine gives you the endurance you need to lift heavier and work harder in the gym—so you can exercise more explosively to get fitter and stronger. Creatine also helps preserve muscle mass and enhances recovery.

It sure is. Our Peak Performance formula contains no dairy or animal products whatsoever, making it suitable for vegans, vegetarians, and anyone else who wants to boost their strength and stamina during exercise sessions. It’s also completely free from gluten, soy, lactose, GMOs, and allergens.

No, they aren’t quite the same thing, but they can work together and complement each other as part of an effective wellness routine.

Creatine will supercharge your gym sessions by providing your body with extra strength and endurance capabilities, whereas protein refuels your muscles afterwards to help with recovery and tissue repair after a tough workout.

To get the most out of your fitness routines, try combining a pre-workout serving of Peak Performance with a post-workout shake from our protein range – where you can choose between Whey Complete, Ve-Gains, or The Protein Blend.

Creatine can be flavoured or unflavoured – and we have both options available! So you can take your pick based on what you prefer to mix your Peak Performance with. Flavoured creatine powders are great for shaking up with water as a tasty pre-workout stamina booster, or maybe you like to add unflavoured creatine into a smoothie or protein shake instead – either way, you’ll be giving your muscles additional strength and energy to push on through any gym session.

If you want to experience exceptional results in the gym, then we recommend adding creatine monohydrate to your daily routine. By powering up your muscles before a workout, you’ll be filled with extra stamina and strength, so that you can enhance your performance and smash your fitness goals.

One of the most effective times to take creatine is close to your workout. Within 30 minutes before you begin is ideal, as this gives the creatine a chance to flood your muscles and provide a boost to your strength and performance levels. Alternatively, you could take your Peak Performance shortly after your workout to refresh your depleted creatine stores, aiding both muscle growth and post-workout recovery.

However, the main thing is to take your Peak Performance consistently to ensure that your creatine levels stay elevated. A daily 5g serving is ideal when you are in a maintenance phase, regardless of what time of day you take it. Whereas we recommend consuming four 5g servings per day if you are in a creatine loading phase, as this will quickly and effectively build up the levels of creatine stored in your body.

It takes around 30 to 60 minutes for a 5g dose of creatine to be fully absorbed into the bloodstream and then your muscles. That’s why we recommend consuming your daily serving shortly before your workout – so Peak Performance can take effect during your session and you can make the most out of the awesome effects of creatine.

For best results, you should build up your body’s creatine stores over time. Consuming one 5g a serving per day will steadily increase the amount stored in your body over two to four weeks. Alternatively, you can opt to go into a creatine loading phase – this involves consuming up to four 5g servings of creatine each day, to quickly build up your stored levels in around five to seven days.
