Welcome to the Sundried Supplement Scoop, your friendly guide to navigating the world of fitness nutrition. In this episode, we're tackling two of the most talked-about supplements for anyone just starting out or looking to solidify their understanding: creatine and protein powder. Feeling a bit lost in the jargon? Wondering if you really need them, how much to take, and if your age plays a role? Fear not!

Join us as we delve into the nitty-gritty of these powerful allies in your fitness journey. We'll explain exactly what creatine is, how it works its magic in your body to boost energy and performance, and where you can naturally find it in your everyday diet. We'll also break down the science behind protein powder, its crucial role in muscle building and repair, and how to figure out just the right amount for your activity level.

But we don't stop there. We know that your needs can change as you get older, so we'll explore the age-related considerations for both creatine and protein. From the potential benefits for younger adults looking to maximise their gains to the vital role these supplements can play in maintaining muscle mass and overall health as we get a bit more seasoned, we've got you covered.

We'll also address those all-important questions about dosage – should you load up on creatine? How much protein do you really need? And what about the best time to take them? We'll cut through the confusion and provide clear, actionable advice based on the latest scientific understanding and expert recommendations.

Got concerns about potential side effects or contraindications? We'll touch on those too, ensuring you have a balanced view and can make informed decisions about your supplement routine.
