Protein Works launches creatine powder that is free from filler and vegan
Creatine is a supplement we have heard bounced around for some time now. While some dismissed it as another unnecessary fad, others swear by it to use alongside a healthy fitness regime. Though it's not to be confused with protein powder, and the like.
The supplement, which typically takes powder form though it is available as a gummy from select brands, has become a daily essential for people from all walks of life. It seems many wellness buffs are intrigued by the supplement, as searches for creatine monohydrate specifically have skyrocketed by 23% in the last quarter, and 970,000 monthly searches in the UK alone.
Speaking about the growing interest, Chief Product Officer at Protein Works, Kyle Crowley, said: 'Creatine Monohydrate has been around for decades, but the renewed interest shows how effective it really is. We've focused on creating a clean, pure version that fits into real people's lives.'
This creatine monohydrate is vegan, filler-free and clean. The supplement is a micronised formula, which makes it easy to dissolve in liquid to consume and absorb by the body. Available in 100g, 200g, 500g and 1kg. Comes in three flavours, including unflavoured, Orange Burst and Berry Blitz. BUY NOW FROM £3.99 (WAS £8.99)
Whether you're chasing personal bests in the gym, navigating a demanding work schedule, or simply looking to stay sharp and active as you age, creatine could be the secret weapon you didn't know you needed to support muscle growth.
Creatine has been recognised for a whole host of other benefits that go beyond just toning your muscles, as it has also been said to support cognitive function, boost energy, aid recovery from sleep deprivation, and help maintain muscle mass as we age. In short, it's a supplement suitable for all ages and fitness abilities.
In a sea of supplements it can be hard to filter through the noise to understand whether you truly need the ingredient, and if so, which one to buy. Thankfully, we have done the hard work for you and found Creatine Monohydrate from Protein Works, which has garnered high praise.
Protein Works' Creatine Monohydrate promises to be a clean, vegan, filler-free, ultra-filtered, and micronised formula. One bug bear many have with dissolvable supplements is the chalky sediment at the bottom of the glass, but Protein Works has insisted this powder mixes into water, your juice or smoothie, effortlessly. Plus, this Creatine Monohydrate is absorbed easily into the body, which means better efficacy.
All ingredients in the brand's creatine have been sourced exclusively from BRC-accredited suppliers who undergo independent annual audits. This ensures everything you consume is held to the highest quality and regulatory standards.
This Creatine Monohydrate is available in three flavours (technically two), as it is available in an unflavoured powder, Orange Burst and Berry Blitz. It also comes in numerous sizes, including 100g, 200g, 500g and 1kg.
With an average of 9.8 out of 10 stars, it truly has been a hit with shoppers. More Trending
Connor gushed: 'Definitely noticed a difference in my gym performance. A must have for anyone looking to improve their performance.'
Another praised: 'The unflavoured is actually tasteless and mixes very well so is not powdery'.
While a separate shopper named Vicky added: 'Need to get fit quickly for a competition. This stuff is rocket fuel. Took 6g. I was telling myself the whole class 'my enemies can't do this'. And then did 5 sets of 1 minute sprints. Don't even feel tired.'
Better still, there is a sale on, which means you could secure Protein Works' Creatine Monohydrate 100g for £3.99 down from £8.99, while the largest 1kg bag has dropped from £62.49 down to £26.99.

'Donkeys are a lifeline in Gaza - it's vital we look after them'
In a land where relentless bombardment has destroyed roads and bridges, while a strict blockade has cut off fuel supplies, the donkeys of Gaza play a critical role. Despite being sick, starved and dehydrated themselves, they move evacuees away from conflict zones, take the injured to the hospital, bring food and medicine to survivors and carry building materials to rebuild bombed homes. They even transport the dead. Working in appalling conditions, the donkeys suffer from parasites, diseases, harness sores, cracked and infected hooves, joint and bone issues. Many have been injured from missiles and bombs, and they too have been impacted by the trauma of living among death and destruction since the conflict broke out in October 2023. Professor Dr Saif Alden lost his livelihood after his university was bombed eighteen months ago. When the farmer's son and animal lover was asked for help by Safe Haven for Donkeys – a British registered charity that cares for working and abandoned donkeys in Israel, the Palestinian Territories, and Egypt – he decided to step into action. Assembling a team of four veterinary staff and two volunteers, the group set up mobile clinics amongst the rubble to provide medical and practical support to the neglected and frightened animals. Since their work began in April last year, Dr Saif and his team have treated around 10,000 donkeys, sometimes having to euthanise those beyond help. With no access to petrol and just two bicycles between them, the work gets harder by the day. 'Our team works with extraordinary courage and compassion,' he tells Metro over Zoom from Gaza. 'Some are living in makeshift shelters on the searing shores of the Mediterranean, others in towns like Deir Al-Balah and Al-Qararah, cycling for hours to reach one another.' The team are finding scarce medication almost impossible to access. An aid package of animal food and urgently needed veterinary medication was sent by Safe Haven for Donkeys in December 2023, but the shipment took four months to arrive. Another delivery has been waiting to enter Gaza since February 2025, explains 34-year-old Dr Saif. 'Despite everything, we treated 139 animals this week – mostly donkeys and horses. Supplies are scarce, and securing medicine takes days of travel and danger,' he adds. Dr Saif has lost 78 family members since the outbreak of war, six in recent months, including his 20-year-old cousin Mohammed, who was killed in a missile strike as he returned home, bringing tomatoes to feed his family. 'He was a very good guy. He had nothing to do with anything political. 'We are all grieving deeply. He wasn't just family – he was a quiet hero, regularly risking safety to help me get essential medications, often travelling through dangerous areas without hesitation. Many of the medicines we relied on were in our hands because of him,' says Dr Saif. Last year, the professor's younger brother, Ahmad, a volunteer with the clinic, was wounded by flying shrapnel. In April, the team miraculously survived a missile strike on its base in Khan Yunis, Southern Gaza. The team lost everything – its medicines, uniforms and other essential tools that it relies on for its work. Most houses in the area were demolished. More Trending 'We were incredibly lucky – we had left the area just moments before the area was completely annihilated. We were on our way home when it happened,' the professor remembers. Amidst the devastation, the volunteers continue, committed to their work. 'This situation is not a movie. It is our reality,' adds Dr Saif. 'I wish people around the world were aware that if these donkeys are not going to be taken care of, they are going to die – and then who is going to take care of the desperate people of Gaza?' To support Dr Saif's critical work, donate to Safe Haven for Donkeys.

Diogo Jota's physio reveals details of Liverpool star's final hours before crash
Diogo Jota's physio has opened up on the agonising decisions the Liverpool star made that ultimately led to his tragic death. The Premier League champions and the world of football in large were in a state of shock and mourning on Thursday when it was confirmed that the 28-year-old and his younger brother, Andre Silva, had been killed in a car crash. Jota had been driving across northern Spain with his sibling on a journey to board a ferry back to England, having been warned against flying due to the condition he had been suffering with. Follow Metro's live blog for full coverage of Diogo Jota's death Respiratory physiotherapist Miguel Goncalves had been working with the former Wolves player just a matter of hours before the fatal incident took place. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. Jota finished last season playing through the pain barrier with a condition called pneumothorax which required surgery. He was still able to take part in Portugal's victorious Nations League campaign before he underwent the knife. Despite the seriousness and potential complications of his condition, Jota had every intention of making a swift return to full fitness and was described as the 'ultimate professional' by Goncalves. 'I said goodbye to him and his brother, Andre, at around 8:30 p.m. His brother was a great companion and decided to go with him, to accompany him on the trip, and that way they would also spend more time together,' Goncalves, who works at Hospital São João, in Porto, told Portuguese outlet Record. 'They were going to travel at night because it was cooler, but they weren't going direct. 'He told me that the journey would take about eight hours, but that they would stop at a hotel in the Burgos area to rest. Diogo was very aware of his professionalism. They were only supposed to arrive in Santander today, catch the boat and then go to England. 'The family would arrive later by plane, organize their lives over the weekend and then, on Monday, they had a medical appointment scheduled in Liverpool to assess the situation. 'I've read some things on the internet that are regrettable, and I've even heard some in the media. To be clear, Diogo and Andre weren't partying at all, they weren't in the so-called 'good mood' life, they had nothing that deserved any repair. Nothing.' Liverpool's first team squad had been due to return to training next week with their first pre-season game, scheduled to take place against Preston, due to be played next week. Goncalves continued: 'I started working with him last Saturday and I was with him every day until this Wednesday. I said goodbye to him at dinner time. More Trending 'He made an extraordinary recovery, he was undoubtedly an unparalleled professional. He strictly followed what I told him, as you could see in the way he was recovering. 'The base of his right lung had collapsed a little, but with the post-surgery physiotherapy he was practically flawless. When I left him yesterday he was no longer in pain and was going to return to Liverpool. 'He was excited, confident in his recovery and enthusiastic about the next season. He told me that he would not go on the pre-season tour that Liverpool is going to Japan to strengthen his recovery, he believed he was going to have a great season.'
