We chose 4g for three reasons. The sachet format — at 5g plus the full electrolyte blend, the powder did not dissolve as cleanly. At 4g, it mixes perfectly with no grit. Tolerability — during testing, 5g caused mild stomach discomfort in some first time users. At 4g, that dropped to virtually zero. And the science — the International Society of Sports Nutrition recommends 3 to 5g daily for maintenance. 4g sits right in that range and will fully saturate your muscles within three to four weeks.

Creatine monohydrate is the single most researched supplement in existence, with over 500 peer reviewed studies confirming its benefits. It increases strength and power output during high intensity exercise, accelerates recovery between sets and sessions, and supports cognitive function including memory, attention, and processing speed. Creayate is designed to be the creatine you never miss — take your 4g here, then add more throughout the day if your goals require it.

Sodium (from sodium chloride) is the primary electrolyte your body loses through sweat and the one that drives fluid absorption into your cells. Without adequate sodium, the water you drink passes straight through you — your kidneys flush it before your cells can use it.

Most electrolyte products seriously under dose sodium, typically delivering 100 to 300mg per serving. We use 800mg because that is what the science supports for effective rehydration, especially first thing in the morning after six to eight hours without fluids. We source our sodium from natural sea salt rather than sodium chloride additives, keeping the ingredient list clean and the mineral profile intact.

Potassium (from potassium chloride) works alongside sodium to regulate fluid balance, muscle contractions, and nerve signalling. When sodium drives water into your cells, potassium helps maintain the electrical gradient across cell membranes that keeps everything functioning properly.

We include 200mg per sachet — enough to support the sodium potassium balance without over supplementing. Most people get significant potassium from their diet through foods like bananas, potatoes, and leafy greens, so we dose this to complement rather than replace your food intake. Too much supplemental potassium can cause digestive discomfort, so we keep it at a level that supports hydration without side effects.

We specifically chose the malate form of magnesium for two reasons. First, magnesium malate has superior bioavailability compared to cheaper forms like magnesium oxide, meaning your body actually absorbs and uses it. Second, malic acid — the other half of the compound — plays a direct role in the ATP energy cycle, supporting the same cellular energy production that creatine fuels.

We include 60mg as a functional dose that supports muscle relaxation, reduces cramping risk, and aids recovery without competing with dietary intake. Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, and most adults in the UK are not getting enough from food alone.
