Post Workout Supplements & Drinks
Our post-workout supplements contain a carefully tailored blend of protein, amino acids, creatine, carbs, and essential vitamins — making sure you’re getting the nutrients you need to support your fitness progress.
What are the Benefits of Post-Workout Supplements?
Exercise requires energy, so after a workout it’s important that you replenish the nutrients that you have used up — or, in the case of electrolytes, lost through sweat.
Protein is vital as it contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass, so by making sure that you have a good intake of this nutrient after training you can help to support your muscles — important for fitness progress. It’s also really important to top up on carbs, as these are the body’s main energy source. Essential vitamins, especially vitamin C, can also be really useful to have post-workout, as it helps to support the immune system during and after intense exercise. Our post-workout supplements are a quick way to get a boost of all these important nutrients in a convenient and tasty way, as the majority of our shakes are available in delicious flavours like chocolate, vanilla and strawberry.

FAQs
What should I take post-workout?
Aim to have foods high in protein or a protein shake; complete proteins, like animal sources, would be best. However for vegetarians or vegans, simply combine multiple protein sources or supplement with a vegan protein powder. A banana, handful of dried fruit or even a few sweets may also be of benefit for recovery.
When should I have protein post-workout?
Whilst your entire diet will affect how you adapt to exercise, having a source of protein as soon as you can after training would be advisable!
How much protein should I have post-workout?
A serving of between 20 - 40g of protein is advised based on the existing research.
How much dextrose should I have post-workout?
That depends on the amount of exercise you've done and or the type of activity. Generally speaking, having an equal portion of carbohydrate to protein is a great starting point, however you may need to double your carbohydrate to protein intake if you have been training for a long time (greater than 60 minutes) and or at a high intensity.
When should I take a post-workout?
Whilst your entire diet will affect how you adapt to exercise, it'd be best practice to have a post-workout as soon as you can after training.
Should I have a protein shake or high-protein meal post-workout?
It may be better to go with a protein shake over a high-protein meal post-workout as it is likely a protein shake will be faster to absorb and provide more readily available building blocks for your body to use to repair and grow.
How often do I need to take protein?
Protein doses should ideally be evenly distributed, every 3–4 hours, across the day.
What's the best post-workout to gain muscle?
This will depend on your entire diet, but a post-workout consisting of protein and carbohydrates would be a great help! Adding in creatine could help take your results up another level too.
