During short, maximum efforts , lasting only a few seconds, our major sources of energy are the high-energy phosphates in the muscles: adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and phosphocreatine. Muscles only have a limited amount of ATP, merely enough to sustain an intensive effort of 2 seconds. After that the muscle will break down phosphocreatine into creatine and ATP to keep up the effort. The amount of phosphocreatine present in human muscles is enough to sustain a one off moderate effort during about 15 seconds.

Creatine is a substance which occurs naturally in the body and is mainly produced in the liver. In addition, omnivore individuals also absorb 1g of creatine per day from eating meat and fish.

It has been demonstrated that muscle creatine can be increased by about 20% in both untrained and well-trained individuals by means of chronic creatine supplementation. By increasing the amount of phosphocreatine in the muscles, the muscles will have more fuel to enhance the performance during short intensive exercise.The Creatine 3000 supplement also contains glutamine and taurine – two key amino acids.

Creapure® is the best and purest form of creatine monohydrate on the market. It is also the most studied form of creatine and studies show that it is safe and effective.

Who can benefit from Creatine?

It has been demonstrated that creatine can be performance-enhancing for:

• repeated sprints or intensive exercise (< 30s) with short breaks (< 1min), during which the ATP-CP system is active (e.g. sprint, swimming, basketball, football, tennis, cycling,  rugby, etc.);
• in combination with strength training for an increase of muscle strength and muscle mass. Athletes can perform more repetitions per series and recover faster in between series

ETIXX HMB 1000 – 60 Caps

HMB or hydroxymethylbutyrate is a degradation product of the essential amino acid leucine and is produced in the human body. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which in turn are the building blocks of a muscle. HMB can also be extracted from our food (e.g. citrus fruits, avocado, cauliflower, catfish). In order to reach a dose of 3 g HMB per day you should consume 600 g of high-quality protein.

HMB supplementation has been shown to reduce muscle protein breakdown (anti-catabolic effect) and support muscle mass building (anabolic effect). In addition, it will ensure less muscle damage and a faster muscle recovery after high-intensity efforts.
Who can benefit from taking Etixx HMB 1000?

HMB is particularly beneficial in situations where a lot of muscle damage is caused. This could be the case:

• during strength training (explosive athletes such as sprinters, throwers, jumpers; weight lifters; body builders, etc.) and during resistance training (medium-distance runners, team andracket athletes)
• at the start of the preparation period, when training intensity significantly increases
• for untrained athletes, who are generally more susceptible to muscle damage than well-trained athletes

HMB can also be good for injured athletes as it can help to reduce muscle degradation and can also help athletes on a low calorie diet to maintain muscle mass.

Key Benefits Of Magnesium

Magnesium Supports Nervous System Function

Magnesium is crucial for normal nervous function as it helps regulate nerve impulses and neurotransmitter release. It supports proper communication between nerve cells, contributing to a balanced nervous system and reducing excitability that can lead to issues like anxiety or over-stimulation.

Magnesium Supports Psychological Well-being

Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function by supporting brain chemistry and neurotransmitter balance. It plays a crucial role in regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which influence mood, stress levels, and cognitive function. Magnesium also helps manage the body’s stress response by regulating cortisol levels and supporting relaxation.

Magnesium Supports Energy Production & Reduces Tiredness And Fatigue

Magnesium contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism by aiding in the conversion of food into energy. It acts as a cofactor for enzymes that break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the body’s primary energy source.

Magnesium Supports Muscle Function

Magnesium plays a key role in normal muscle function by regulating muscle contractions and relaxation. It works alongside calcium—while calcium stimulates muscle contraction, magnesium helps muscles relax.

Magnesium Contributes To Normal Protein Synthesis

As a key cofactor in ribosomal function, magnesium is essential for protein formation from amino acids. This process supports muscle growth, tissue repair, and overall cellular health.

Magnesium Supports Electrolyte Balance

Magnesium plays a vital role in regulating electrolyte levels, ensuring proper fluid balance and muscle function. It helps maintain optimal levels of sodium, potassium, and calcium, which are crucial for hydration, nerve function, and muscle contractions.

Magnesium Contributes To The Maintenance Of Normal Bones And Teeth 

Magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth by supporting their strength, structure, and mineralisation. It plays a crucial role in calcium metabolism, ensuring proper calcium absorption and deposition into bones and teeth while preventing excess buildup in soft tissues.

Why Choose Metabolics Magnesium Bisglycinate?

🔹 Highly Bioavailable – Optimised for superior absorption
🔹 Gentle on the Stomach – Less likely to cause digestive discomfort
🔹 Supports Overall Health – Essential for muscle, nerve, and energy function
