1. Creatine
Creatine is one of the most researched supplements in sports nutrition. It is a naturally occurring compound found in muscle cells and plays a crucial role in energy production during high-intensity activities like weightlifting and sprinting. Platinum Creatine Plus contains 3g of creatine from Creabev™.
The Science and Benefits of Creabev™
Creabev™ distinguishes itself through its enhanced bioavailability. In a 2023 study, researchers compared the stability of Creabev™ with regular creatine monohydrate when mixed in water. Regular creatine lost about 11% of its creatine content in 5 minutes. Creabev™, however, retained 98% of its content even after 2 hours.
This makes Creabev™ a powerful, stable option for enhancing your workouts. It also has less clumping compared to regular creatine powders, making it easier to drink.
2. Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in numerous physiological processes, making it indispensable for athletes. Platinum Creatine Plus contains a unique form derived from marine algae: Aquamin® Magnesium (Mg).
The Science and Benefits of Magnesium
Magnesium supports energy metabolism by acting as a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions, including those responsible for breaking down food into cellular energy. It contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism and reduces tiredness and fatigue.
It also helps maintain electrolyte balance, crucial for hydration, nerve function, and muscle contractions — all of which are vital during prolonged exercise.
3. Cocomineral™
Cocomineral™ is derived from coconut water — a natural source of electrolytes and minerals that may enhance sports performance.
The Science and Benefits of Cocomineral™
Cocomineral™ helps replenish electrolytes lost through sweat, such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium. These support hydration, nerve function, and muscle contractions. It also contains antioxidants like vitamin C and flavonoids.
4. Blend of Vitamins and Minerals
Platinum Creatine Plus contains a blend of B-Vitamins to support cellular energy production* and zinc to bolster your immune system¥, helping you perform at your best both on and off the field.
Benefits of Creatine Plus
This advanced formulation includes Creabev™ for superior stability and bioavailability, Aquamin® Magnesium and Cocomineral™ for essential electrolytes and minerals, and a vitamin and mineral blend to support energy production and immunity. Together, they promote hydration, muscle function, performance, and resilience.
How and When to Use
Enjoy this flavoursome drink before or after training, or anytime throughout the day to ensure you get your daily dose of creatine, magnesium, and electrolytes.
