Creatine Monohydrate
The most researched performance ingredient in sports nutrition.
- What it is
- Creatine is a compound made naturally in the body and found in foods like red meat and fish. Creatine monohydrate is the most studied, most stable and most cost-effective form available.
- Why VitoLab uses it
- We use creatine monohydrate because it is supported by an extensive body of published research and remains the benchmark form for purity and consistency. We use it unflavoured and undiluted, with no proprietary blends.
- Primary benefits
- Supports strength and power output
- Supports muscle recovery between sessions
- Studied for cognitive performance support
- Helps replenish cellular energy
Suggested serving: 3–5g daily, taken consistently.
Lion's Mane
A functional mushroom traditionally used to support the mind.
- What it is
- Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is an edible functional mushroom that has been used in traditional practices for centuries and is now a focus of modern cognitive research.
- Why VitoLab uses it
- We include Lion's Mane as part of our focus formulas because of growing research interest in its potential to support cognitive function. We use a concentrated extract rather than low-grade mycelium fillers.
- Primary benefits
- Studied for focus and mental clarity
- Researched for cognitive performance support
- A plant-based, caffeine-free ingredient
Suggested serving: 500–1000mg of concentrated extract daily.
L-Theanine
An amino acid associated with calm, focused attention.
- What it is
- L-Theanine is an amino acid found naturally in tea leaves. It is widely studied for its role in supporting a state of relaxed alertness.
- Why VitoLab uses it
- We pair L-Theanine with our focus ingredients because research suggests it can support calm concentration. It is transparently dosed on every label.
- Primary benefits
- Supports calm, focused attention
- Often paired with caffeine for smoother energy
- Non-drowsy relaxation support
Suggested serving: 100–200mg daily.
Electrolytes
Essential minerals for hydration and performance.
- What it is
- Electrolytes are essential minerals — including sodium, potassium and magnesium — that carry an electric charge and are vital for hydration, nerve signalling and muscle function.
- Why VitoLab uses it
- We use a balanced electrolyte profile to support genuine hydration rather than just adding flavour. Our ratios are chosen to reflect what the body loses through sweat.
- Primary benefits
- Supports hydration and fluid balance
- Supports endurance during activity
- Supports normal muscle and nerve function
Suggested serving: 1 serving daily, or around training.
Essential Amino Acids
The building blocks your body can't make on its own.
- What it is
- Essential amino acids (EAAs) are the nine amino acids the body cannot produce and must obtain from diet or supplementation. They are fundamental to muscle protein synthesis.
- Why VitoLab uses it
- We use a complete EAA profile rather than BCAAs alone, because research indicates the full spectrum is required to meaningfully support muscle protein synthesis and recovery.
- Primary benefits
- Supports muscle recovery
- Supports muscle protein synthesis
- Useful around training and throughout the day
Suggested serving: 5–10g around training.
