CrossFit Supplements to Fuel the Unknown
CrossFit demands strength, stamina, gymnastics, and power in one session. Recovery is usually the limiting factor. This protocol focuses on work capacity, repeat output, and fast repair between heavy training days.

The Science
CrossFit Nutrition
WODs often operate at the threshold of your anaerobic capacity. Nutrition must support rapid ATP regeneration and acid buffering.
ATP Regeneration
Creatine Phosphate stores are depleted within 10s of max effort. Supplementation extends this window.
Work Capacity
Duel-sourced Carbohydrates replenish glycogen stores during longer WODs
CNS Recovery
High intensity taxes the nervous system. Magnesium supports downregulation post-training.

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
A highly researched compound that increases phosphocreatine stores in muscle, helping regenerate ATP during high-intensity efforts. This supports improved strength, power output, and training performance over time.
Fast-absorbing carbohydrate sources designed to deliver sustained energy during exercise. By using two absorption pathways, it allows greater carbohydrate uptake, helping maintain performance and delay fatigue in longer sessions.
Essential minerals (primarily sodium, potassium, and magnesium) that regulate hydration, muscle contraction, and nerve function. Replenishing electrolytes helps maintain fluid balance and reduces performance decline during prolonged or high-sweat training.

Frequently Asked Questions
CrossFit is a high-intensity training method that combines elements of strength training, cardio, and functional movements. Workouts are typically varied and designed to improve overall fitness, including strength, endurance, power, and agility.
- Carbohydrates for energy during intense sessions - Electrolytes to support hydration - Creatine for strength and power output - Caffeine to enhance focus and reduce fatigue
Fueling should focus on supporting both strength and conditioning. This typically involves: - Consuming carbohydrates before training for energy - Staying hydrated with fluids and electrolytes - Refuelling with protein and carbs post-workout for recovery
Yes, CrossFit can be adapted for all fitness levels. Workouts are scalable, meaning weights, intensity, and movements can be modified to match individual ability while still delivering effective training.
Fueling the Sport of Fitness
CrossFit places unique demands on the body, often testing all three metabolic pathways in a single session. Recovery is the limiting factor for most athletes.
Our CrossFit protocol prioritises work capacity (Creatine/Caffeine) and rapid recovery (Whey/Carbs) to get you back in the box ready to perform.
