Sports & Performance.
ISSN-dose actives, micronised and single-ingredient where the literature supports it.
Sports nutrition has clearer dose response than most categories. The compounds that work, work at specific protocols. EX1's Sports & Performance catalog ships at the doses the position stands actually evaluated.
Why this category matters
Creatine monohydrate is the most-studied performance supplement in sports nutrition, with over 1,000 published trials evaluating strength, power, and exercise capacity outcomes.
The dose that produces measurable phosphocreatine saturation is 5 g per day, taken consistently. Half-doses do not produce half-outcomes; they produce no measurable change. Single-ingredient formulations remove the guesswork around what actually drove the result.
The International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand on creatine supplementation supports 3 to 5 g/day for adults as the safe and effective maintenance dose for strength and exercise performance support.

How to choose a sports & performance supplement
Pick micronised monohydrate for creatine
Micronisation improves solubility without changing the active. Monohydrate is the form every major creatine trial used.
Read the per-scoop dose, not the tub weight
A 250 g tub at 5 g per serving is 50 servings. A 500 g tub at 3 g per serving is only 166 servings of the studied protocol, despite being the heavier-looking product.
Single-ingredient over proprietary blends
Blends hide individual doses behind a total weight. Single-ingredient products are testable against the literature.
Consistency over loading
Daily 5 g produces full saturation within 3 to 4 weeks. The classic 7-day load phase shortens the timeline but is not required.
