As a former Australian and World Champion Bodybuilder, Grant Mayo introduced his own line of Sports Nutrition supplements, Genetix Nutrition, to help others achieve their peak physical condition.

Creatine Monohydrate

One of the most researched supplements, creatine, has over 40 years of research and clinical data. Most of this research has focused on the role of creatine supplementation in muscle development. The typical finding is that taking approximately 5 g per day supports muscle function and recovery, enabling more repetitions and, therefore, greater strength gains.

More recently, brain function, memory and processing speed have been the focus. Why? The brain consumes 20% of total body energy demand but weighs only 2% of body weight. Researchers are exploring the use of 10-15 g/day, taken in several 5 g doses, and reporting a trend toward faster brain processing, reduced fatigue, and improved cognitive function in sleep-deprived individuals. It could be a good prevention strategy for neurodegenerative diseases like alzheimers and dementia.

Marine collagen is a complex structural protein that helps maintain the strength and flexibility of skin, ligaments, joints, bones, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, gums, eyes, nails and hair. It is the most abundant protein in the body acting as the “glue” that holds the body together to naturally support healthy skin, hair, nails, bones & joints.

As we age, our body’s production of collagen decreases resulting in signs of aging and bodily "wear and tear", most noticeably in the skin and hair e.g wrinkles, sagging skin, finer or greying hair, and also brittle nails, aching joints, and weaker bones. Naturalia Pure Marine Collagen is a daily nutritional boost to complement the body’s collagen stores to support the maintenance of healthy skin, hair, nails, and joints.
