Support Strength, Energy, and Wellness - With Just Two Supplements

Hugo Luna, General Manager, Rick & Ann's GNC Stores

You don’t have to be a gym rat to benefit from protein and creatine. These two nutrients work together to help your body stay strong, energized, and resilient — no matter your routine. 

If you do work out, this combo helps you to get more out of every session.

Why protein matters

Hugo Luna, General Manager, Rick & Ann's GNC

Everybody needs protein to stay healthy, energized, and strong. Protein helps to:

• Maintain lean muscle

• Support metabolism and energy

• Keep your appetite in check because you’ll feel full longer

And if you are working out, protein is great for repairing and rebuilding muscle after exercising.

How creatine supports energy, strength, & brain power

Creatine naturally exists in your body and is available in food sources, but most of us don't get enough through food alone. Creatine supplements can help boost the energy your cells use every day, especially in your muscles and brain. That means:

It provides more natural energy throughout the day..

It supports metabolism and enhances muscle strength and maintenance.

It improves mental focus and cognitive performance.

A few more things you should know...

We get a lot of questions about these supplements, so here's a little extra info to help you feel confident about adding protein and creatine to your routine.

Can this fit into a weight loss program? Absolutely! Protein helps you stay full longer and maintain lean muscle, which is key when you're trying to lose weight. Creatine supports muscle health and energy, which helps you stay active and burn more calories.

Are these safe for teenagers? Yes - but kids under 18 should be supervised, especially with creatine, to make sure they're not taking too much. Sticking to recommended amounts is important for everyone.

Why take supplements instead of just getting nutrients from food? Whole foods are always important, but it's tough to consistently get enough high-quality protein and creatine from diet alone. Supplements help you hit your daily needs easily and conveniently.

Quality matters. Not all supplements are created equal. The products at Rick & Ann's GNC stores follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and have clear quality standards on the label, so you know exactly what you're getting..

A winning combination

Protein and Creatine both work great on their own. But they are even better together. Protein helps your muscles repair and recover, supports a healthy metabolism, and keeps you feeling full longer. Creatine, on the other hand, helps your cells produce energy more efficiently, which can lead to better focus, less fatigue, and improved strength.

Together, when taken regularly, they will help you stay strong, energized, and resilient. They are a smart addition to your daily routine.

Try it. Love it.
