Shopping with Gains Nutrition

Choosing between creatine formats

The site lists creatine monohydrate as powder, tablets and gummies. Powder is the simplest choice for mixing into a drink and gives the most flexibility on dose. Tablets suit anyone who dislikes the taste or texture. The gummies are sugar-free and vegan, but each serving carries a smaller dose, so the gummy is better for a lighter routine than a demanding training block.

Protein and collagen

The plant-based protein lines are unflavoured and unsweetened, which suits people who want to add protein to porridge, smoothies or savoury cooking. The hydrolysed vegan option is positioned as a cleaner mix. Collagen comes as bovine and marine versions, so check the source if you avoid either animal product. The collagen pages describe support for skin and joints, which is the claim to weigh against your own goals.

Bundles and sizes

Powder tubs are sold in several sizes, from 60 servings up to 400 days' supply, so the cost per serving changes a lot. Bigger bundles make sense if you already know the product suits you. A smaller tub is safer for a first order.

Delivery and returns in the UK

UK standard delivery is listed as 3 to 5 working days and free, with faster tracked options at extra cost. Unopened items can be returned within 30 days in sealed, resalable packaging, while opened items are only accepted if faulty or wrongly supplied. Check these terms before ordering a large bundle.
