CREATINE

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound that plays a key role in producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body’s primary energy source for short bursts of high-intensity activity. For first responders, emergency personnel, and field workers engaged in physically demanding tasks, creatine enhances muscular strength, power output, and endurance—enabling them to perform with greater intensity and recover faster between efforts.

Beyond physical benefits, creatine also supports cognitive function under stress by improving mental clarity, reaction time, and fatigue resistance. In high-stakes environments where quick decision-making and sustained energy are crucial, creatine supplementation provides a proven, effective edge. Its safety, affordability, and well-documented performance benefits make it an essential part of any high-performance nutrition protocol.

Protien intake Is essential for brain function, immune defense, and readiness in high-stress, physically demanding environments.

Aids with repairing muscle/ recovery 

1. Muscle Recovery & Repair

First responders regularly engage in:

Sprinting, lifting, dragging, jumping

Long shifts in full gear (20–60+ lbs)

Repeated physical strain

Protein provides the amino acids needed to:

Rebuild muscle fibers after physical stress

Prevent injury from muscle breakdown

Improve physical resilience and reduce soreness

2. Lean Muscle Mass & Strength Maintenance

Sufficient protein helps:

Preserve lean muscle mass during long shifts

Improve functional strength (especially under load)

Support bone density and joint stability (critical with gear and uneven terrain)

3. Immune Support

First responders often:

Work in sleep-deprived states

Encounter pathogens and physical trauma

Protein fuels immune cells and antibodies, which protect against illness and infections.

4. Cognitive Function & Mood Regulation

Amino acids from protein help make neurotransmitters (like dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine)

These influence focus, reaction time, and mood stability

A lack of protein can lead to:

Brain fog

Irritability

Slow decision-making

Reduced emotional control under stress

Inadequate Protein Intake

Muscle breakdown: decreased strength/power output 

Slow recovery: soreness, fatigue between shifts 

Weakened immune system: missed work, work performance is effected 

Decreased mental focus: brain fog, poor tactical decision making 

Recommended Protein Intake 

Regular person: 0.8-1g/kg of body weight 

First responder/tactical athlete: 1.2-2.2g/kg of body weight
