Gym supplements built around what actually matters — quality ingredients, honest dosing, and formats that fit your routine. The sports performance range covers the foundations serious athletes reach for: creatine, BCAAs, magnesium, omega-3, electrolytes, adaptogens, and more. Whether you're training for strength, endurance, or general fitness, there's something here that belongs in your stack.
From Creapure® creatine to ZMA capsules and collagen protein, every product is developed with performance in mind. These are sports nutrition supplements made for people who train with intention — no filler, no fluff, just the nutrients and compounds that have earned their place in an athlete's kit.
Who Sports Performance Are For
These sports performance supplements are built for anyone who takes their training seriously. That includes gym regulars hitting the weights several times a week, endurance athletes logging long sessions, and competitive sportspeople who need a reliable nutrition stack to complement their training load. If you're tracking your output and want your supplementation to match that level of intention, this range is designed for you.
It's also worth noting that you don't need to be an elite athlete to get value here. Recreational runners, weekend warriors, and anyone who wants to move and feel better day-to-day will find products that slot naturally into their routine. The range spans everything from foundational micronutrients to targeted performance compounds — making it as relevant to a first-time gym-goer as it is to a seasoned competitor.
When to Use Sports Performance
Timing depends on what you're taking. Creatine monohydrate is typically taken daily — consistency matters more than timing when it comes to maintaining creatine stores in the muscles. Caffeine tablets are best used before a session when you want a clean stimulant hit without the extras. Electrolyte gummies work well during or after training, particularly on longer sessions or in warmer conditions where sweat loss is higher.
For micronutrients like magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins, most people find it easiest to take them at the same time each day to build a habit. ZMA capsules are typically taken in the evening. Omega-3 and collagen protein can be taken any time that's convenient. Adaptogens like ashwagandha are often taken in the morning or evening depending on the format. Check the label on each product for specific guidance.
Sports Performance Benefits
Creatine for High-Intensity Training
Creatine is one of the most researched compounds in sports nutrition. Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise1 — and the range offers it in multiple formats, from monohydrate tablets to Creapure® capsules and even chewable tablets and gummies, so you can pick the format that suits your routine.
Magnesium for Muscle and Nervous System Function
Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function2 and to the normal functioning of the nervous system3. It also contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue4 — making it a staple for anyone with a heavy training schedule. High Strength Tri-Magnesium Capsules deliver 250mg per serving across three distinct forms: bisglycinate, malate, and taurate.
BCAAs and Protein as the Building Blocks of Muscle
BCAAs — leucine, isoleucine, and valine — are three of the nine essential amino acids. They're naturally occurring components of protein, and protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass5. Essential BCAA Tablets deliver a 2:1:1 ratio, the most widely used split in sports nutrition.
Foundational Micronutrients for Active People
Active people put more demand on their body, which makes getting the right micronutrients even more important. Vitamin C contributes to maintaining the normal function of the immune system during and after intense physical exercise6. Zinc contributes to normal protein synthesis7. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism8. The range includes ZMA capsules, dedicated zinc and magnesium formulas, and a specially developed men's multivitamin — covering the bases athletes are most likely to need.
Popular Picks
Multivitamins for Men — Formulated specifically for men, Multivitamins for Men packs in vitamin B5, which contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, alongside selenium, which contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
High Strength Tri-Magnesium Capsules — Built around a triple magnesium blend of bisglycinate, malate, and taurate, High Strength Tri-Magnesium Capsules delivers 250mg of magnesium per serving alongside 5mg of vitamin B6, which contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, and normal red blood cell formation.
Essential BCAA Tablets — Essential BCAA Tablets deliver leucine, isoleucine, and valine in the classic 2:1:1 ratio — the three branched-chain amino acids that form part of protein, which contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass — with added vitamin B6, which contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
FAQs
What are gym supplements and do I need them?
Gym supplements are products designed to complement your training and nutrition. They include compounds like creatine, which increases physical performance in high-intensity exercise1, as well as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and adaptogens. They're not a replacement for solid training and a good diet, but they can fill gaps and make it easier to hit consistent targets — especially for people with high training loads or specific performance goals.
What sports nutrition supplements are available in this range?
The range covers over 20 products across a wide variety of formats and categories. You'll find creatine in multiple forms (monohydrate tablets, Creapure® capsules, chewable tablets, and gummies), BCAAs, omega-3, ZMA, magnesium capsules, electrolyte gummies, caffeine tablets, collagen protein powder, ashwagandha, shilajit, cordyceps, glycine, L-carnitine, a mushroom complex, and a men's multivitamin. Something for almost every training goal and daily routine.
What are the best workout supplements for someone just starting out?
Starting with the fundamentals is always the right call. Creatine Monohydrate Tablets are one of the most well-studied exercise supplements available — creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise1. A solid magnesium formula, like High Strength Tri-Magnesium Capsules, is another sensible starting point given how many processes magnesium is involved in, including normal muscle function2 and a reduction in tiredness and fatigue4.
What is the difference between Creapure® creatine and standard creatine monohydrate?
Creapure® is a trademarked, pharmaceutical-grade creatine monohydrate produced in Germany, widely regarded as one of the purest forms available on the market. Standard creatine monohydrate is the same compound, and both deliver the same authorised performance benefit1. The choice comes down to personal preference around purity credentials and format — Creapure® Micronised Creatine Capsules and The Creatine | Creapure® Chewable Tablets are both available in this range alongside standard monohydrate options.
What are BCAAs and how do they relate to protein?
BCAAs — branched-chain amino acids — are leucine, isoleucine, and valine, three of the nine essential amino acids your body can't produce on its own. They're naturally occurring components of dietary protein. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass5, and BCAAs form part of that protein structure. Essential BCAA Tablets deliver them in a 2:1:1 leucine-to-isoleucine-to-valine ratio, the most commonly used split in sports nutrition.
Are these sports performance supplements suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
Many products in the range are suitable for vegetarians and/or vegans, though this varies by product. Creatine monohydrate, for example, is synthetically produced and not derived from animal sources. Essential Omega-3 is sourced from fish oil, so it's not suitable for vegetarians. Always check the individual product label for allergen and suitability information before purchasing.
Who develops the sports performance supplements at Myprotein?
All products in the sports performance range are developed by Myprotein's expert nutritionists. The formulations are built around established nutritional science, with ingredient forms, dosages, and combinations chosen to make each product as effective and practical as possible for active people.
What are sports performance supplements used for in endurance sports?
For endurance athletes, the focus tends to be on sustaining output and staying on top of micronutrient losses. Electrolyte Gummies are designed for use during longer sessions where sweat loss is a factor — magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance9. Omega-3 is a staple in many endurance athletes' stacks, with EPA and DHA contributing to the normal function of the heart10. Caffeine tablets are widely used as a clean stimulant ahead of long training bouts.
Can I stack multiple sports performance supplements together?
Many people combine products from the range as part of a broader supplement routine. Common combinations include creatine alongside a ZMA formula (zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B6), BCAAs with omega-3, or a men's multivitamin as a daily foundation with targeted compounds on top. Stacking is common practice in sports nutrition — just make sure you're not doubling up on the same nutrients across multiple products and stay within recommended daily intakes.
Are Myprotein's sports supplements tested for banned substances?
Several products in the range carry Informed Sport certification, meaning they've been batch-tested by an independent, globally recognised programme for substances prohibited in sport. This makes them a suitable choice for competitive athletes who need assurance around what's in their supplements. Check individual product pages for specific certification details, as not all products in the range carry this accreditation.
