1. Creatine

Creatine is one of the most researched supplement 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 sprinting1. Platinum Creatine Plus contains 3g of creatine from CreabevTM. Although creatine supplements have been popular among athletes for decades, CreabevTM represents a new frontier in the world of sports nutrition.

The Science and Benefits of Creabev™

While both Creabev™ and traditional creatine supplements contain creatine monohydrate as their active ingredient, Creabev™ distinguishes itself through its enhanced bioavailability compared to traditional creatine supplements. In a 2023 study2, researchers wanted to compare the stability of Creabev™compared to regular creatine monohydrate when mixed in water. To do this, they mixed both products separately in water and measured how much creatine was still available after a while.

After just 5 minutes, the regular creatine monohydrate had lost about 11% of its creatine content. But here’s the cool part: Creabev™ stayed strong, keeping a whopping 98% of its creatine intact throughout the whole 2-hour test!

In simple terms, Creabev™ is like the superhero of creatine—it stays potent and ready to power your workouts. So, if you’re looking for a creatine supplement that stays strong and effective, Creabev™ is the one to choose.

Along with better availability, there is also less clumping of Creabev™3compared to regular creatine powders, offering a more palatable and smooth drinking experience.

2. Magnesium

Magnesium, the most popular newcomer to many supplement strategies. Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in numerous physiological processes in the body4, making it indispensable for athletes striving for peak performance. Platinum Creatine Plus contains not only magnesium but also a unique form of magnesium derived from marine algae, known as Aquamin® Magnesium (Mg). Both of these combines to play a role in supporting sports performance and overall health.

The Science and Benefits of Magnesium

One of the primary benefits of magnesium is its role in energy metabolism. Magnesium is a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions, including those responsible for the breakdown of food into cellular energy^, contributing to a normal energy yielding metabolism^, and a reduction in tiredness and fatigue^.

Electrolyte balance^ is another area where Aquamin® Mg shines in supporting sports performance. Magnesium works alongside other electrolytes like potassium and sodium to regulate fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions. Maintaining proper electrolyte levels is vital for hydration, preventing fatigue, and sustaining performance during prolonged exercise5.

3. Cocomineral™

Cocomineral™, is our next new and exciting ingredient. Derived from coconut water, it is a popular natural source of electrolytes and minerals, which may benefit sports performnace5. Coconut water is known for its rich electrolyte content, making it a valuable addition to an athlete’s nutrition regimen.

The Science and Benefits of Cocomineral

One of the key advantages of cocomineral is its ability to replenish electrolytes lost through sweat during intense exercise6. Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium are crucial for maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions. Cocomineral provides these electrolytes in a natural and easily absorbable form, supporting hydration and preventing dehydration and premature fatigue during workouts or competitions6. While it also contains antioxidants, such as vitamin C and flavonoids.

4. Blend of Vitamins and Minerals

Finally, Platinum Creatine Plus, contains a blend of B-Vitamins to support cellular energy production* and zinc to bolster your immune system¥, ensuring you have the energy and reliance to perform at your best both on and off the field.
