Whey, creatine, omega-3, anti-inflammatories — the recovery nutrition stack that holds up under Hyrox training load.
Recovery nutrition isn’t about a single magic supplement. It’s three concurrent jobs working together:
Get all three right and your next session is sharper. Get one wrong and the whole training cycle drifts.
If you’re starting from scratch, build the stack in this order:
Tier 1 — non-negotiable. ATP Creapure (creatine 5g/day) + Switch WPI (25-40g post-session). Both have decades of consistent evidence; both are inexpensive per serve.
Tier 2 — adds in build/peak weeks. Metagenics OmegaGenics Fish Oil (2-3g EPA/DHA daily) + Kurk Liquid Curcumin (1ml daily). The case for both is anti-inflammatory load management when training volume is high.
Tier 3 — situational. Switch Amino for fasted or long sessions. Top Athlete Whey Isolate or Lean Whey as flavour-variety alternatives to Switch WPI. Chief Collagen Bar for race-day mornings or training days where a real meal isn’t happening.

Creapure is the gold-standard pharmaceutical-grade creatine. Daily 5g supports phosphocreatine recovery between high-intensity surges — the single most studied supplement for Hyrox-style work.
Microfiltered + hydrolysed whey isolate that absorbs fast — exactly what you want in the 30-minute window after a Hyrox simulation. No artificial colours or sugar.
27.8g pure protein per scoop with the lowest carb and fat — strict-cut option for athletes managing race weight in the lead-up to an event.
26.3g protein per scoop in a smoother, sweeter formula — the everyday whey for athletes who want flavour without sacrificing protein density.
EAA + BCAA blend with electrolytes and herbal cofactors — sip through long sessions to support muscle protein synthesis without breaking your hydration plan.
Liquid curcumin extract with strong evidence for reducing DOMS after eccentric work like sandbag lunges and wall balls. 1ml in your morning coffee, daily.
High-strength EPA/DHA — modulates post-exercise inflammation and supports nervous system recovery during heavy training blocks. Pharmaceutical-grade purity.

On-the-go protein with collagen for joint and connective-tissue support — useful as a pre-session top-up or on race-day mornings when you can't stomach a full meal.
