Peak Protocol

Peak Protocol is our own label, and it is the only brand on this site whose formulation decisions we control from start to finish. Thirty eight products, spread across nine categories, built on one rule: if an ingredient is in there, it is in there at the amount the research used, and that amount is printed where you can read it before you buy.

That sounds obvious. It is not how most of this industry works. A large share of sports supplements are sold on a front label that names eleven impressive ingredients and a back label that hides all eleven inside one proprietary blend, so nobody can tell whether the tub contains a working dose of anything. We do not sell proprietary blends. Every active in the list below has a number next to it.

The Peak Protocol range we stock

The Peak Protocol range is deliberately unglamorous. There is no fat burner, no test booster that promises a hormonal response it cannot produce, and no product whose main selling point is the name. What there is instead is a complete set of the things that hold up: protein in five formats, creatine in four, the amino acids with real data behind them, the vitamins and minerals British diets actually run short of, and a small group of botanical extracts sold with honest framing about how modest their effects are.

Here is how the thirty eight Peak Protocol products break down. Every category page carries a full write up of what the ingredient does and what it cannot do.

Category	Products	What we cover	Price range
Protein	5	Grass fed concentrate, isolate, micellar casein, diet whey and a pea with rice plant blend	£27.99 to £39.99
Creatine	4	Plain monohydrate, Creapure monohydrate, capsules and an HCL for people monohydrate upsets	£19.99 to £34.99

Bundles	3	Foundation, Strength and Recovery and Balance, each built from products sold separately	£54.99 to £74.99

Peak Protocol prices run from just under fourteen pounds for a zinc picolinate through to seventy five for the largest stack. The two most expensive single items are the whey isolate and the natural recovery complex, and both cost more because of what is in them rather than what is on them. Nothing in the range is priced against a recommended retail price that never existed.

Choosing from the Peak Protocol range

Most people arrive wanting to know which two or three Peak Protocol products to start with, so here is the honest ordering rather than the profitable one.

If you are training hard and eating badly

Fix the food first, then buy protein. A kilogram of grass fed whey concentrate at twenty nine pounds is the cheapest way most people close a protein gap, and it is the only category on this site where the effect is large, reliable and not up for debate. Everything else is a rounding error next to hitting your protein target and sleeping properly.

If your food is already in order

Add creatine monohydrate. Five hundred grams costs nineteen pounds and lasts around a hundred days at the standard three to five gram serving. It is the second most evidenced product we make and there is no version of the argument where a more expensive form of creatine outperforms it.

If you are coming off something, or thinking about it

Read our guide on coming off before you buy anything. The recovery support and estrogen support ranges exist because people ask for them, and we are straight on the product pages about how limited a food supplement is in that situation. Bloods and a doctor come first. A DIM capsule does not replace either.

If you just want the basics covered

Vitamin D3 with K2 through the British winter, magnesium bisglycinate if you sweat a lot, and an omega 3 if you rarely eat oily fish. The NHS guidance on vitamins and minerals says roughly the same thing and costs nothing to read.

What is actually inside

Three formulation choices separate the Peak Protocol range from the average white label tub, and all three cost us margin.

Single ingredients wherever possible. Twenty four of the thirty eight products contain one active. That is not minimalism for its own sake. When a product contains one thing at a stated dose, you can compare it on price per gram against anything else on the market, you can stop taking it and know exactly what you stopped, and you cannot accidentally double up on a mineral that appears in three different tubs.

Forms chosen for absorption, not for cost. Zinc picolinate rather than zinc oxide. Magnesium bisglycinate rather than magnesium oxide, which is cheap, poorly absorbed and the reason a lot of people think magnesium gives them stomach trouble. Creapure branded monohydrate as an option for people who want a certificate of analysis behind the raw material. These swaps add pounds per tub and no marketing copy anywhere would notice if we skipped them.

Doses matched to the studies, including when that is inconvenient. Citrulline malate at a level that reaches the six to eight gram range used in the research, rather than the token gram that lets a label list it. Ashwagandha as KSM 66 at six hundred milligrams, the dose the trials on that extract actually used. Beta alanine in a three hundred gram pot because it works cumulatively over weeks and a small tub would run out before the effect arrived.

Where the evidence behind a Peak Protocol product is thin, we say so on the product page rather than dressing it up. Tongkat ali and fenugreek both sit in that bracket. They are in the range because customers want them, and the copy tells you the trials are small and the effect sizes modest.

Dosing and timing

Serving instructions are on every tub, but the pattern across the Peak Protocol range is simple enough to summarise.

Protein is a target, not a timing exercise. Get the daily total right and the anabolic window stops mattering. One to two scoops whenever it is convenient to close the gap between what you ate and what you needed.

Creatine is three to five grams a day, every day, including rest days, and the time of day is irrelevant. Loading is optional and only shortens the three to four weeks it takes to saturate.

Vitamins and minerals go with a meal containing some fat, which matters for D3 and omega 3 and makes no difference to zinc. Magnesium is the one most people prefer in the evening, and that is preference rather than pharmacology.

The pre workout products are the only ones with a hard timing rule. Caffeine has a half life of around five hours in most adults, so a late session and a caffeinated pre workout is a trade against your sleep, and sleep will win the argument on your next session. That is why the stim free pump formula exists.

How Peak Protocol compares here

We sell twenty two other brands alongside Peak Protocol, which is an odd thing for a private label to do. It is deliberate. Some of these companies make things we do not, and some make a specific product better than we would at the price. Here is where we honestly sit against them.

Brand	Strongest here	Typical price position	Best for
Peak Protocol	Breadth and label transparency	Mid, priced per gram of active	Anyone who wants to know exactly what they are taking
Optimum Nutrition	Bulk whey and multivitamins	Premium per tub, competitive per serving	People buying protein in four kilogram quantities
Chevron Nutrition	Glutamine and value creatine	The cheapest per serving here	Filling out a stack without spending much
Extrifit	Hydrolysed isolate and BCAA formats	Upper mid	People who want isolate or a specific BCAA format
Weider	Creatine variants and amino blends	Premium	Buyers who trust a long established name

If a competitor product on this site is a better buy than ours for what you are trying to do, the product page will usually say so. We would rather sell you the right tub once than the wrong tub twice.

Labelling, testing and UK rules

Everything here is a food supplement under UK law, not a medicine. That distinction sets what we are allowed to say, and it is worth understanding because it explains why our copy sounds flatter than a lot of the marketing you will have read.

Supplements sold in Great Britain sit under the Food Supplements (England) Regulations 2003 and the wider labelling rules the Food Standards Agency sets out for food supplements. Health claims are tighter still: only wording on the Great Britain nutrition and health claims register may be used, and only when the product delivers the required amount of the nutrient.

In practice that means we may tell you zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels, because that claim is authorised and our zinc hits the threshold. We may not tell you it boosts testosterone, because that is a different statement and it is not authorised for anything. When a competitor tells you a mineral boosts anything, they are either breaking the rules or relying on nobody checking.

Competitive athletes have a separate problem. A supplement being legal is not the same as it being safe for a drug tested athlete, because contamination is a real and documented risk. UK Anti-Doping publishes guidance on supplement use and batch testing programmes such as Informed Sport exist for exactly this reason. If you are tested, check the batch, not the brand.

Who it suits, and who should skip it

Peak Protocol suits people who read labels and want the numbers to survive the reading. If you have ever turned a tub around, found a proprietary blend, and put it back on the shelf, you are the customer this label was built for.

Peak Protocol suits people building a small, boring, permanent stack rather than chasing a new compound every eight weeks. Protein, creatine, vitamin D, maybe magnesium. That is most of the benefit available from legal supplementation and it costs under fifty pounds a month.

Peak Protocol will disappoint anyone looking for a legal product that behaves like an illegal one. Nothing in this range does that, nothing sold anywhere in the UK does that, and the products marketed on that promise are trading on a resemblance in the name. Our page on what legal supplements can and cannot do covers the gap in detail.

Buying Peak Protocol in the UK

Every Peak Protocol product ships from the UK, so there is no customs charge, no import paperwork and no three week wait from a European warehouse. Orders placed before the afternoon cut off go out the same working day.

Storage matters more than most people think for two Peak Protocol categories. Creatine monohydrate is stable dry and degrades in solution, so mix it fresh rather than leaving it in a bottle overnight. Omega 3 oxidises with heat and light, which is why ours ships in an opaque container and why a fish oil that tastes strongly of fish has usually gone off.

Payment, delivery windows and the returns position are all set out on how to pay and shipping and returns. If a tub arrives damaged or you change your mind on an unopened item, that page tells you exactly where you stand.

Common questions

Who actually makes Peak Protocol supplements in the UK?

Peak Protocol products are manufactured to our specification by UK and EU facilities working to established food safety standards, then labelled under our own brand. What we control is the formulation: which form of each mineral, what dose, and what goes on the label. That is where the decisions that matter get made.

Why is there no fat burner in the range?

Because no Peak Protocol product, and no legal food supplement, can produce meaningful fat loss, and selling one implies it can. Caffeine has a small effect on energy expenditure and it is already in the pre workout. Everything else in that category is sold on hope.

Is the Creapure creatine worth the extra money over your plain monohydrate?

Chemically, no. It is the same molecule at the same dose. What you are paying for is a documented raw material with published purity testing behind it. Some people want that assurance and some do not, which is why we stock both rather than pushing one.

Do the bundles actually save money?

Yes, against buying the same products individually, and the saving is shown on each bundle page. The honest caveat is that a bundle is only good value if you would have bought every item in it anyway. If two of the three would sit unopened, buy the one you will use.

Are these products safe to take if I am drug tested?

The formulations contain nothing prohibited, but no supplement brand can promise a batch is contamination free without batch testing, and we do not currently run a batch certification programme. If you compete under anti doping rules, follow UK Anti-Doping guidance and use batch tested products for anything you are not prepared to lose a career over.

Can I take several of these together?

Most combine without issue, and the bundles exist because certain combinations are common. Watch for duplication rather than interaction: the athlete multivitamin, the zinc and magnesium night formula and the testosterone support complex all contain zinc, so taking all three pushes your daily zinc higher than any of them intends on its own.
