Frequently Asked Questions
Your Guide to Smart Supplementation
Below you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions we receive about the supplements we carry. This section covers general information and expert insights on key categories such as proteins and amino acids, creatine, pre-workouts, adaptogens, nootropics, carbohydrates, digestive enzymes, natural anabolic supplements, diet and weight loss supplements, and endurance-focused formulas.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to fine-tune your nutrition routine, these FAQs are designed to help you make informed choices tailored to your fitness goals:
COMMON PROTEIN QUESTIONS
– What type of protein do you recommend?
At The Nutrition Store, we believe the right protein depends on your goals, dietary needs, and how well your body digests certain ingredients.
Whey protein is widely used for muscle recovery and performance, especially post-workout. For those seeking something lighter and faster-absorbing, isolated whey (Iso Whey) is ideal—it contains minimal lactose and fats, making it easier on the stomach.
Beef protein is a great dairy-free alternative, supporting muscle strength and collagen production. Egg protein is another non-dairy option, known for being easy to digest and providing a long-lasting feeling of fullness.
For plant-based diets, vegan proteins like pea, rice, or hemp are clean, gentle on the gut, and support overall wellness. When blended correctly, they offer a complete amino acid profile for muscle support.
However, what often gets overlooked is how well your body actually digests the protein you consume. That’s why we strongly recommend proteins that contain digestive enzymes or probiotics. These additions help improve absorption, reduce bloating, and make it easier for people with lactose intolerance, sensitivity to fillers, or weak digestion to benefit fully from their supplement.
Stop by Marina 300, Barcelona, and we’ll help you choose a protein that not only meets your fitness needs but supports your digestive health as well.
– When should I take protein powder?
Protein powder is most effective within 30–60 minutes post-workout to support recovery and growth. However, total daily protein intake matters more than timing—so it’s also useful as a meal replacement or between meals if you struggle to hit your protein goal.
– How much protein should I consume daily to build muscle?
A common guideline for muscle growth is 1.6–2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. For example, a 70 kg athlete would aim for 112–154 g daily, spread evenly across meals for optimal muscle protein synthesis.
– Will a weight gainer make me fat? When is it best to take?
A weight gainer will only cause fat gain if your calorie intake exceeds what you burn. They’re most effective for hardgainers or athletes with high caloric needs. The best time to take one is post-workout or between meals to boost total daily calories without feeling overly full.
COMMON AMINO ACIDS QUESTIONS
– Should I take amino acids and/or protein powder supplements?
We often recommend both amino acids and protein powder, depending on your fitness goals and needs.
Protein powders—like whey, beef, egg, or plant-based blends—contain all nine essential amino acids (EAAs) that the body can’t produce on its own. They help increase your total protein intake, support muscle recovery, and provide calories and nutrients needed for energy during and after intense workouts.
Amino acid supplements, especially in free-form EAA or BCAA formulas, are absorbed faster and can be precisely targeted to support specific metabolic functions like muscle repair, endurance, or hormonal balance. They’re particularly useful before or during workouts when rapid absorption is needed.
Combining both can offer the best of both worlds. Whey protein delivers long-lasting nutrition, while amino acids act fast. When used together, they enhance performance, speed up recovery, and extend the benefits of your training.
– What is the best BCAA ratio to take?
The optimal BCAA ratio for most athletes is 2:1:1—that’s leucine:isoleucine:valine. Leucine is the key trigger for muscle protein synthesis, while isoleucine and valine support energy production and fatigue reduction during exercise. Higher-leucine blends (such as 4:1:1 or 8:1:1) exist, but research suggests they don’t offer major advantages over 2:1:1 for recovery and performance, especially if your total protein intake is already adequate.
– Is it better to take BCAAs or EAAs for training and recovery?
BCAAs are only three of the nine Essential Amino Acids (EAAs). We recommend taking all nine of them because they are fundamental to muscle recovery, performance, and total-body health — yet your body cannot produce them on its own. EAAs must be obtained daily through diet or supplementation to keep your body functioning at its best.
Whether you’re an athlete, lead an active lifestyle, follow a plant-based diet, or simply want to stay energized and resilient as you age, essential amino acids (EAAs) offer science-backed support by promoting muscle growth and repair, enhancing workout recovery and endurance, supporting cognitive clarity and neurotransmitter balance, strengthening immune and hormonal health, improving sleep, metabolism, and digestion, and helping reduce muscle loss associated with aging. Even if you’re eating protein-rich foods, the body doesn’t always absorb all amino acids effectively. EAAs offer a more efficient way to ensure you’re getting the full range of nutrients needed to fuel your fitness and wellness goals.
The 9 Essential Amino Acids and Their Key Benefits:
- Leucine – Stimulates muscle protein synthesis and supports repair and growth.
- Isoleucine – Boosts energy, muscle metabolism, and immune strength.
- Valine – Helps with muscle regeneration, endurance, and mental clarity.
- Phenylalanine – A precursor to mood and alertness-boosting neurotransmitters.
- Threonine – Supports skin, joints, and healthy connective tissue through collagen formation.
- Tryptophan – Converts to serotonin and melatonin to aid sleep and mood.
- Lysine – Vital for immune function and nutrient absorption like calcium.
- Methionine – Helps detoxify the liver and absorb minerals like zinc and selenium.
- Histidine – Produces histamine, which plays a role in immunity, digestion, and restful sleep.
Bottom Line:
EAAs are more than just sports supplements — they’re essential for anyone looking to support muscle, mind, and metabolic health. Our supplement store carefully selects high-quality EAA supplements to help you recover better, train harder, and live stronger.
– What is the best time to take essential amino acids?
The key times to take EAA amino acids are:
- Before, during, and after training
These are the main windows, known as the “peri-workout nutrition window,” when your muscles need more EAAs. Taking EAAs before or during your workout can help prevent muscle breakdown, especially during long or intense endurance sessions. After your workout, EAAs support muscle repair and enhance protein synthesis, helping you return to an anabolic state.
If you already take a fast-digesting protein like whey after your workout, an additional EAA amino acid supplement may not be necessary.
- During Long or Endurance Workouts
Long or cardio training sessions can push your body into a catabolic state, breaking down muscle for fuel. An EAA supplement taken during these long workouts can help maintain muscle mass by providing a steady source of amino acids.
Between Meals (Especially When Building Muscle Mass)
When trying to build muscle, frequent spikes in muscle protein synthesis are ideal. Drinking EAAs between meals can help maintain muscle growth throughout the day.
– How Many EAA Amino Acids Should You Take?
Research suggests a range of 6-12 grams of EAA amino acid supplements for bodybuilding for muscle protein synthesis, depending on individual needs. Leucine, one of the most important essential amino acids, plays a pivotal role in this process, and 2.5 grams of leucine is often recommended as a starting point for greatest effectiveness.
– Why is glutamine added to some EAA and BCAA supplements?
Glutamine plays a role in immune function, gut health, and muscle recovery. Intense training can deplete glutamine stores, potentially impairing recovery and immunity. Adding it to EAA or BCAA blends may help speed up recovery, reduce soreness, and support digestive health, which is especially useful for athletes training multiple times per day.
COMMON AMINO ACIDS QUESTIONS
Although creatine has been widely studied as a relatively safe and effective supplement for improving muscle mass, performance and recovery, people have general safety concerns. Below responses to these concerns and our recommendations based on evidence-based scientific evaluation of literature:
• How much creatine should I take per day?
Creatine supplementation is relatively well tolerated, especially at recommended dosages of 3-5 grams per day or 0.1 gram per day per kg of body mass.
- Does creatine lead to water retention?
Creatine supplementation does not always lead to water retention.
- Is creatine an anabolic steroid?
Creatine is not an anabolic steroid.
- Does creatine cause kidney damage/renal dysfunction?
Creatine supplementation, when ingested at recommended dosages, does not result in kidney damage and/or renal dysfunction in healthy individuals.
- Does creatine cause hair loss / baldness?
The majority of available evidence does not support a link between creatine supplementation and hair loss / baldness.
- Does creatine lead to dehydration and muscle cramping?
Creatine supplementation does not cause dehydration or muscle cramping.
- Is creatine harmful for children and adolescents?
Creatine supplementation appears to be generally safe and potentially beneficial for children and adolescents.
- Does creatine increase fat mass?
Creatine supplementation does not increase fat mass.
- Is a creatine ‘loading-phase’ required?
Smaller, daily dosages of creatine supplementation (3-5 g or 0.1 g/kg of body mass) are effective. Therefore, a creatine ‘loading’ phase is not required.
- Is creatine beneficial for older adults?
Creatine supplementation and resistance training produces the vast majority of musculoskeletal and performance benefits in older adults. Creatine supplementation alone can provide some muscle and performance benefits as well as cognitive benefits for older adults.
- Are other forms of creatine similar or superior to monohydrate and is creatine stable in solutions/beverages?
Other forms of creatine are not superior to creatine monohydrate.
- Is creatine only useful for resistance / power type activities?
Although creatine supplementation has been theorized to primarily benefit athletes involved in high-intensity intermittent resistance/power type activities, evidence suggests that creatine supplementation with carbohydrate or carbohydrate and protein promotes greater muscle glycogen storage than carbohydrate supplementation alone. Since glycogen replenishment is important for promoting recovery and preventing overtraining during intensified training periods, creatine supplementation may help athletes who deplete large amounts of glycogen during training and/or performance maintain optimal glycogen levels.
Second, there is evidence that creatine supplementation may reduce muscle damage and/or enhance recovery from intense exercise. Moreover, there is evidence that individuals supplementing their diet with creatine experienced less muscle damage, inflammation, and muscle soreness.
Third, there is evidence that athletes who supplement with creatine during training experience fewer musculoskeletal injuries, accelerated recovery time from injury and less muscle atrophy after immobilization.
Fourth, creatine supplementation (with or without glycerol) has been reported to help athletes hyper-hydrate and thereby enhance tolerance to exercise in the heat.
Therefore, creatine supplementation may reduce the risk of heat related-illness when athletes train and/or compete in hot and humid environments.
Finally, there is evidence from animal models that creatine supplementation is neuroprotective and can reduce the severity of spinal cord injury, cerebral ischemia, and concussion/traumatic brain injury. This evidence was so compelling that the International Society of Sports Nutrition recommended that athletes engaged in sports that have a potential for concussion and/or spinal cord injury take creatine for its neuroprotective effects.
- What Is the benefit of taking creatine with a glycogen loader?
Combining creatine with a glycogen (carbohydrate) loader is a powerful nutritional strategy used to boost energy, strength, and endurance for high-intensity or prolonged workouts. This approach is popular among athletes and bodybuilders preparing for competition or heavy training blocks.
What Creatine Does:
- Increases your muscles’ stores of creatine phosphate, a quick energy source for explosive movements.
- Enhances ATP production, supporting power, strength, and short bursts of performance.
- A loading phase (20–25g/day for 5–7 days) helps quickly saturate muscles, followed by a maintenance dose (3–5g/day).
What Glycogen Loading Does:
- Maximizes muscle glycogen, your body’s stored form of glucose.
- Provides long-lasting energy, delays fatigue, and improves endurance.
- Involves increasing carb intake (8–12g/kg body weight) over 2–3 days, often with reduced activity to help store more glycogen.
Why Combine Them?
- Synergy: Consuming creatine with carbs can increase insulin levels, improving creatine uptake into muscles.
- This combo leads to better absorption, improved performance, and enhanced recovery.
- Ideal before events or training phases that demand both explosive power and endurance.
Tip: For best results, follow a short creatine loading phase while simultaneously increasing high-glycemic carbs. As always, speak with your coach or nutritionist to personalize your approach based on your sport and body type.
- Can I mix creatine with protein?
Mixing creatine with protein is safe and can be convenient. Both support muscle growth—protein provides the building blocks for muscle repair, while creatine enhances power output and training capacity. Taking creatine alongside protein and carbohydrates post-workout can increase muscle creatine uptake and promote greater muscle protein synthesis compared to taking them separately. This combination may optimize the anabolic environment by elevating insulin and nutrient delivery to muscle cells.
COMMON AMINO ACIDS QUESTIONS
Is it better to take probiotics or digestive enzymes?
The two actually complement each other. Digestive enzymes improve digestion while probiotics are live organisms that make up the good bacteria in your digestive environment healthy. Unlike enzymes, probiotics do not have the ability to break down or digest food components.
What is the difference between nootropics and adaptogens?
Nootropics and adaptogens are both natural supplements, but they serve different purposes for the body and mind.
- Nootropics are substances that primarily enhance brain function. They are designed to support memory, focus, mental clarity, creativity, and overall cognitive performance. Nootropics work by improving neurotransmitter activity, increasing blood flow to the brain, or supporting energy production in brain cells. Common nootropics include Ginkgo Biloba, L-Theanine, and Citicoline.
- Adaptogens, on the other hand, help the body adapt to stress — both mental and physical. They work by supporting the endocrine and nervous systems, helping to regulate cortisol (the stress hormone) and promote balance, resilience, and recovery. Popular adaptogens include Ashwagandha, Rhodiola Rosea, and Ginseng.
What is the difference between anabolic steroids and natural anabolic supplements and what type do you sell?
We do not sell anabolic steroids — only natural anabolic supplements derived from safe, plant-based sources.
Anabolic steroids are synthetic versions of testosterone, a naturally occurring hormone in both men and women. These substances are often used with resistance training to artificially boost muscle protein synthesis, leading to rapid increases in muscle mass and strength. However, they are regulated, often illegal without prescription, and come with serious side effects when misused.
In contrast, our natural anabolic supplements contain compounds from herbs, plants, and botanicals that naturally support your body’s own testosterone production. These natural ingredients help promote lean muscle growth, improve strength and recovery and support hormonal balance — without synthetic hormones
We focus on safe, legal, and effective options to help you achieve your fitness goals naturally and sustainably.
What are good diet and weight loss supplements?
If you’re looking to support fat loss and appetite control, we carry thermogenic formulas, appetite suppressants, fat metabolizers, and L-carnitine and diuretic products. These supplements work best when paired with exercise and a clean diet. We also offer personalized diet plans to help you lose weight in a healthy and sustainable way.
What pre-workout products do you carry?
If you’re looking to boost your energy and focus before a workout, we carry a variety of pre-workout options, including pre-workouts with vasodilators like citrulline and arginine to increase blood flow and pump. If you want an extra kick, we offer stimulant-based pre-workouts with caffeine or guarana. Or if you want to increase your mental focus and clarity, we carry blends that include nootropics like tyrosine, alpha-GPC, or lion’s mane. Whether you’re training hard or need a cognitive edge, we can guide you to the perfect pre-workout supplement.
Should an endurance athlete take electrolytes or isotonic supplements?
We recommend both electrolyte and isotonic supplements to runners, swimmers and other endurance athletes—but they serve slightly different functions that work together to support performance and recovery.
Electrolytes are essential minerals—like sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium—that your body loses through sweat during intense exercise. These minerals are vital for hydration, muscle function, and nerve transmission. Replenishing them helps prevent cramps, fatigue, and dehydration, especially during long workouts or events in hot conditions.
Isotonic supplements go a step further. These are specially formulated drinks or powders that contain both electrolytes and carbohydrates, designed to have the same osmotic pressure as body fluids. This allows for rapid absorption into the bloodstream, meaning your body can quickly rehydrate and refuel with energy at the same time.
In simple terms, electrolyte supplements replace lost minerals and keep your hydration in balance. On the other hand, isotonic supplements replace minerals and provide quick carbs for sustained energy and hydration.
If you’re an endurance athlete training for long distances or races, using both can help you maintain energy, avoid cramps, and recover faster
