Sport Nutrition

This shelf covers what regular gym-goers, runners and swimmers usually look for. You will find whey, casein and plant proteins as powder, protein bars and ready-to-drink shakes, amino acid products such as BCAA or EAA, carbohydrate powders and gainers, pre-workout powders, plus flavour drops, shakers and pill boxes.

Compare products by what is in one serving, not by the size of the tub. Check the grams of protein per serving, the serving size in grams and the number of servings per pack, then work out the price per 100 g or per serving. The ingredient list shows whether a powder is sweetened, which proteins it uses and whether it contains lactose, gluten or soy. Pre-workout products often contain caffeine, so read the amount per serving, avoid combining them with coffee or energy drinks late in the day, and start with half a serving if you are new to them. Vegan options are marked on the pack.

Malta has a busy gym culture and a long outdoor season, and in summer many people train early in the morning to avoid the heat. Powders keep best closed tightly in a cool, dry place, since humidity can make them clump. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose, and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication. Order online and we deliver by courier to your door across Malta and Gozo, usually on the next working day.
