Our Premier Quality standards ensure it contains no harmful additives or fillers and is free from contaminants. Choose Premier Creatine for a safe and reliable supplement option.

    Building and Maintaining Muscle Mass

    ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) Synthesis: Creatine monohydrate increases the availability of creatine phosphate (phosphocreatine) in muscle cells. Phosphocreatine donates a phosphate group to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) to regenerate ATP, providing a quick energy source for muscle contractions during high-intensity, short-duration activities.
    Enhanced Energy Availability: By maintaining higher ATP levels, muscles can sustain high-intensity efforts for extended periods, enhancing performance and delaying fatigue.
    Cellular Hydration

    Osmotic Effect: Creatine draws water into muscle cells, increasing cell volume. This osmotic effect helps in muscle hydration and triggers anabolic signaling pathways that help promote muscle growth.
    Increased Cell Volume: Enhanced cell volume promotes protein synthesis and muscle hypertrophy, contributing to muscle growth over time.
    Protein Synthesis

    mTOR Pathway Activation: Creatine supplementation activates the mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) pathway, which is crucial for muscle protein synthesis and promotes the growth and repair of muscle tissues.
    Satellite Cell Activity: Creatine increases the activity and proliferation of satellite cells involved in muscle repair and growth. These cells help regenerate muscle fibers damaged during intense exercise.
    Reduced Muscle Damage and Inflammation

    Antioxidant Properties: Creatine has antioxidant properties that help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in muscle cells, supporting quicker recovery and less muscle damage after intense workouts.

    Brain Health and Cognitive Support

    ATP Production in Brain Cells

    Constant ATP Requirement: The brain requires a continuous and substantial amount of ATP for various functions, including synaptic transmission and maintenance of ion gradients. Creatine enhances the brain’s phosphocreatine stores, ensuring a rapid resynthesis of ATP during high-demand situations such as intense mental tasks.
    Neurotransmitter Support: Adequate ATP levels support the release of neurotransmitters, essential for proper brain function and communication between neurons.

    Neuroprotective Effects

    Oxidative Stress Reduction: Creatine’s antioxidant properties help protect brain cells from oxidative stress, reducing cellular damage that can lead to cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases.
    Mitochondrial Support: Creatine supports mitochondrial function and health, which is vital for energy production and overall brain health.
    Cognitive Performance Enhancement

    Enhanced Cognitive Performance: Creatine supplementation may improve cognitive performance, particularly in tasks requiring short-term memory and quick thinking. This is especially beneficial during sleep deprivation or mental fatigue, where creatine helps maintain cognitive function.
    Sustained Cognitive Performance: Creatine may help sustain cognitive performance during extended periods of mental exertion by boosting ATP availability.

    PRL Premier Marine Collagen

    Product Summary

    Premier marine collagen is sourced from wild-caught, deep-sea fish and supports healthy skin and connective tissues, including bones, tendons, and ligaments; it can also help reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

    More Information

    Premier Marine Collagen provides 19 out of 20 amino acids, which support lean muscle mass and workout recovery. It’s a joint health supplement that aids healthy joint function, which may aid mobility and comfort aging joints; it also supports the integrity of the Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Function

    Accounting for 30% of the body’s total body protein, collagen is the most abundant and ubiquitous protein that works to maintain the structure and function of the skin and connective tissues throughout the body. Healthy skin is the body’s primary barrier to prevent dehydration and potential infection while maintaining moisture and body temperature. Skin elasticity and firmness are dependent on collagen peptides. Visible signs of collagen loss are evident in early adulthood, with the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, as well as slight joint discomfort.

    Compared to commercial collagen peptide supplements made from bovine or porcine sources, marine collagen has a low molecular weight and delivers the most predominant type of collagen in the body, type I collagen. Type I collagen provides rigidity, elasticity and strength to skin, tendons, ligaments, bones, teeth, and cartilage.

    Premier Marine Collagen™ utilizes the glycoproteins necessary to help modulate collagen production, strengthen the skin barrier, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and hydrate dry skin.* Supplementing with hydrolyzed marine collagen, coupled with dietary sources of antioxidants (vitamin C) and micronutrients (zinc, copper) delivers bioactive, short-chain nutritional collagen peptides, which support collagen synthesis, in the tissues that need it the most.

    Hydrolyzed with food grade enzymes, PRL’s Premier Marine Collagen™ is versatile for everyday use. Tasteless, fully dissolvable, and bioavailable, PRL’s Premier Marine Collagen is ready to be mixed into your favorite morning beverages, juice blends, miso soups, broths and more!

    Aside from slowing the inevitable effects of skin ageing, hydrolyzed collagen supplementation is associated with additional beneficial effects.

    PRL Premier Plant Protein

    Product Summary

    Premier Plant Protein is an excellent source of complete protein, providing 18 grams, plus it has all of the essential amino acids naturally present in plant-based sources.

    More Information

    Premier Plant Protein liberates the nutritive power of high quality, living seeds, grains and legumes (pea) as a high quality, vegan protein powder. This product features six premier types of plant-based protein, including premier quality pea protein, rice protein, pumpkin seed protein, hemp seed protein, quinoa seed protein and pomegranate seed protein.

    In recent years, as the popularity of vegan diets (and food sensitivities) has increased, plant-based protein powders have been gaining the edge as an excellent, natural protein source over animal-based sources. Among protein sources, pea protein stands out for its excellent nutritional profile, as well as the versatility and protein attributes of the humble pea.

    Plant-based protein, including pea protein, is a great option for individuals or families who have food sensitivities. Plantbased protein is naturally free of common allergens such as gluten, dairy, wheat and egg, so it may be one of the safer protein options available.

    Pea protein is also ideal for weight maintenance support. Research has shown that pea protein can subdue ghrelin, a substance produced in the stomach that sends hunger signals to the brain. So that scoop of pea protein that you add to your breakfast smoothie may help keep your hands away from those snack bars until lunchtime!

    An extra bonus! Pea protein does not typically cause bloating the way that whey protein sometimes can, so it may help you look and feel your best.
