CNP Whey has been reformulated to improve the taste and texture, to rival other great tasting whey proteins such as Efectiv Whey. CNP whey is a whey blend containing Whey Protein Concentrate, Milk Protein Concentrate and Skimmed Milk Powder.

If you’ve ever looked into supplements to support your training, the chances are you’ll have heard of creatine. Creatine is one of the most popular and effective supplements around – and there’s plenty of scientific evidence around its efficacy. Numerous studies show that taking creatine can help to increase strength, power, muscle growth and muscle performance. What actually is creatine? Creatine is generally considered safe when used as directed and in appropriate doses. However, some individuals may experience certain side effects,’ says Aitken. Supplementing your diet with CNP Creatine powder helps to increase your overall size and strength whilst also increasing your power and performance in the gym. CNP Creatine can be mixed with your protein shake or added to water or fruit juice for easy and convenient consumption. So, what are the benefits of creatine monohydrate? It is naturally high in BCAAs and L-glutamine. Amino acids can be depleted during exercise, and CNP Pro Whey can help to restore them to pre workout levels.

You can also get powders that contain both creatine and whey protein, or other key post-workout supplements such as BCAAs. These give your body all it needs to recover and rebuild after training. What type of creatine powder is the best? Muscle cramps: ‘In rare cases, creatine supplementation may cause muscle cramps or strains. Staying well-hydrated and ensuring proper electrolyte balance can help prevent these issues,’ says Aitken.

The powder also contains 19g of carbohydrate to replenish your energy reserves after training, along with DigeZyme Digestive Enzymes to help you break down everything you’ve just drunk. There are three flavour options – chocolate peanut, dark chocolate berry and the slightly more exotic coconut and lime. Creatine is one of the most extensively studied supplements and has been shown to increase physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise,’ says Aitken. But it’s important to note that the loading phase is not mandatory for creatine supplementation, he says. ‘Some individuals may choose to skip the loading phase and start with the maintenance dosage directly. This approach will still lead to increased muscle creatine levels over time, albeit at a slower pace.’ Dextrose Monohydrate, Whey Protein Concentrate (Milk), Hydrolysed Whey Protein (Milk), Native Whey Protein (Milk), Flavouring, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Anti-Foam, Digezyme, Vitamin E, Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin) Dextrose Monohydrate, Whey Protein Concentrate (Milk), Hydrolysed Whey Protein (Milk), Native Whey Protein (Milk), Flavouring, Colouring (Red Beetroot Extract), Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Anti-Foam, Digezyme, Vitamin E, Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin)

CNP Recover is a powerful post-workout recovery formula. Post workout supplements are often misunderstood and therefore neglected but we can’t stress enough that the period following training is essential to recovery and the prevention of muscle breakdown. If you don’t take action during this critical window of opportunity (typically 30 minutes post-exercise) then you’ll miss a key time to improve and reach your goals. While creatine is best known for increasing muscle power and providing benefits to strength and power-based activities, the potential benefits for endurance-based activities have also been investigated, explains Roberts. ‘While the overall results are fairly mixed, it does largely depend on what performance markers are being measured. Some studies have suggested that there are potential improvements in certain aspects of performance, such as sprinting ability and other high-intensity efforts during running, but there is yet to be any conclusive evidence to support this.’ Water retention: ‘Creatine can cause the body to retain water, leading to weight gain and a slightly bloated appearance. This is due to increased fluid uptake by muscles. However, weight gain is usually temporary and related to water, not fat,’ says Aitken. Roberts adds: ‘There is speculation around creatine affecting water retention, but this is often only under the condition of a “loading phase”, which usually resolves itself after a few weeks, and does not affect everyone who chooses to do a loading phase.’
