The Easiest Way to Get Collagen & Creatine into Your Daily Coffee

When it comes to crushing your fitness goals, the right supplements can make all the difference, especially when you’re pushing through intense training sessions that leave you daydreaming about your next rest day. But let’s be real, the supplement aisle at your local pharmacy can seem like a minefield sometimes.

The shelves are littered with brands promising the best supplements to boost your gains and aid post-workout recovery. Turn your attention to the labels and you’ll start to think you need a degree in sports science and biology to make sense of it all. It can be so overwhelming trying to find the ‘cleanest’ supplements without extra fillers you don’t need, or that could potentially be harmful to your body.

Fortunately, Primal Wellness is here to cut through the nonsense and keep your supplement routine simple so you can focus on your workouts. The South African brand is not only bringing South African gym fanatics high-quality supplements they can trust, but they’re upping the ante on convenience, too.

I’ve incorporated the Primal Wellness A+Salt and Body Bomb supplements into my training program recently, and both products have made such a big difference. The last couple of weeks have been packed with double training sessions as I prepare for HYROX Cape Town. With such a high training load, being able to reach for these supplements has helped me bounce back to tackle the next functional training session or an intense interval run.

Designed to support hydration, performance, and recovery, these products are a game-changer for any fitness enthusiast looking to level up. Here’s why these local gems deserve a spot in your gym bag.

Recover like a boss with A+Salt

By now, you’re probably aware that hydration isn’t just about chugging water. To truly support your body and muscles, you need to ensure your body’s electrolyte balance is in check. This is especially important when you’re sweating buckets during a HIIT session or a long run. Intense training puts your body through the wringer, depleting electrolytes, which are essential for muscle function, nerve signalling, and keeping dehydration at bay. Without proper hydration, you’re looking at cramps, fatigue, and subpar performance.

Primal Wellness A+Salt (R580 for 30 sachets) is a sugar-free hydration formula that’s loaded with potent electrolytes like sodium, magnesium, and potassium, plus Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) to support muscle repair and overall well-being.

Available in zesty Passionfruit, Grapefruit, and newly added Coco-Pine flavours, this product is a lifesaver for maintaining hydration and cognitive performance. Each 7g sachet mixes easily with water, delivering a refreshing, not-too-sweet taste that’s perfect for sipping mid-workout or post-sweat. The sachets are so easy to use, and if you love your electrolyte drinks salty AF, these will hit the spot on the flavour front. The suggested serving is to mix one sachet with 750ml of water, but you can use less water to adjust the flavour to be as strong as you prefer.

I’ve been using these daily and it’s helped so much to keep up my energy levels in-between training sessions and ensure I’m cramp-free during a gruelling run. Plus, the EAAs ramp up muscle recovery so I can keep up with the demands of my training programme. Electrolytes are crucial for muscle function and preventing dehydration-related fatigue, while EAAs help repair muscle tissue, making A+Salt a must for anyone training hard. If you’re a nerd for the exact quantities, each sachet contains 1170 mg of Sodium, 95 mg of Magnesium, 250 mg of Potassium, plus added essential amino acids and Glycine.

Body Bomb: The combo you’ve been waiting for

Creatine has been one of the best supplements I’ve added to my daily routine. If you’re all about building strength and bouncing back faster, creatine monohydrate is the way to go. But, if I’m being honest, after a year of religious use, dealing with the daily minutia of scooping and measuring powder has started to get old, fast. Enter Primal Wellness Body Bomb (R690 for 30 sachets). This genius product is the innovation I didn’t know I needed, combining creatine monohydrate with collagen for a powerhouse supplement that ticks all the boxes! The supplement is formulated to promote strength, power, and recovery into one easy to use supplement.

Body Bomb is packaged in convenient single-serving sachets with 2.5g of ‘Creapure’ (creatine monohydrate) and 2.5g of collagen (Hydrolysed gelatin powder) per sachet. While the recommended daily dose for creatine is 5g, some people prefer to split the dose into two servings to avoid bloating. This wonderful sachet makes it easier than ever to split your creatine dose without guestimating. Of course, just one sachet a day is also perfect if you’re looking to start low and build your way up to a higher dose.

If you’re yet to join us on the creatine train you should know that creatine monohydrate is a fitness staple, backed by heaps of research for boosting muscle strength and powering high-intensity efforts like weightlifting or sprinting by increasing phosphocreatine stores for rapid ATP production.

Creatine monohydrate is a proven performance enhancer, helping you push harder and recover faster by fueling short, explosive movements. To get the full benefit of creatine, Primal Wellness has taken things up a notch by using ‘Creapure’, the purest form of creatine in the world, made in a dedicated facility in Germany under strict manufacturing protocols. Not forgetting collagen, which is a hero for joint health, muscle repair, and even skin elasticity.

It might seem like a small convenience, but this product is a must-try for anyone who is over the chore of measuring out ALL the supplements every day. I’ve been adding Body Bomb into my morning coffee, and it’s been a game-changer. The smooth, neutral flavour blends seamlessly (no chalky aftertaste here!).

Since I’ve started taking creatine and collagen supplements, I’ve noticed less muscle soreness and a noticeable boost in my ability to push through tough sets. The great thing about Body Bomb is that it’s a clean, effective formula that’s ideal for anyone looking to maximise their training gains.

For those looking for more of a creatine boost, Primal Wellness has also introduced Crea-blast (R690 for 30 sachets). A pharmaceutical-grade creatine monohydrate supplement with 5g of creatine in every single serving sachet.
