Meet the 20-year-old
taking the billion £ creatine industry head on.
Hailed as the one of the best new supplements on the market by fitness enthusiasts, athletes, and influencers, is Ovrload deserving of its hype? Hint: absolutely.
UK-based Ovrload are looking to take on the biggest players in the supplement space with their new crealyte® (creatine monohydrate and electrolyte) gummies. Available in two flavours, blue raspberry and sour watermelon, the founder Johnny Lye said the following:
"Ovrload came about as I wanted to innovate and combine two things that have a hugely positive impact on my life and training."
Since launch in January, the brand has gone from strength to strength, initially focusing on creating the best possible product that would mean they had a fighting chance against the multi billion £ industry.
Creatine has frequently been labelled as a supplement only for male bodybuilders, however with more and more research being published about positive effects on brain health, mood, recovery and the aid in gaining lean muscle mass on men and women, it's clear that there are very few people that couldn't benefit from it's use on a daily basis.
Ovrload was born out of a simple idea: make effective gym supplements that are easy to take, taste great, and fit into any lifestyle. The brand offers gummies in two delicious flavours – blue raspberry and sour watermelon – that combine the power of creatine with essential electrolytes. Creatine is well-known for its ability to enhance strength and muscle mass, while electrolytes are crucial for hydration and maintaining optimal performance during workouts.
"What sets Ovrload apart from the standard powders is the convenience factor" said Lye. "Pretty much no-one I knew enjoyed dry scooping creatine, so now all you need to do is pop a few gummies, and you’re good to go. Each serving is carefully formulated to provide the right amount of creatine and electrolytes, making it easier to stay consistent with your supplementation. Plus, these gummies are perfect for taking on the go – whether you’re headed to the gym, at the office, or traveling."
The price? A month’s supply of Ovrload gummies costs £20, and if you sign up to their bi-monthly variety pack this comes down to just £18 per month. All considered, it’s a very solid investment into your fitness routine.
Since switching to Ovrload, I’ve found that my workout routine has become more streamlined. No more juggling multiple supplement containers or worrying about mixing the perfect shake. These gummies have taken the place of my creatine powder and electrolyte drinks, all while saving me time and hassle. Not to mention, the flavours are a real treat – it’s like enjoying a little sweet while knowing you’re fueling your body with what it needs. I even take them to cure my sweet tooth cravings after dinner!
Beyond the convenience and taste, the benefits are tangible. My energy levels during workouts have improved, and I’ve noticed quicker recovery times post-training. For someone who’s always on the go, the ease of Ovrload makes it a no-brainer. Fewer products to buy, fewer steps in my routine, and more results. For now, it seems that Ovrload is living up to the hype and that these fitness pros might actually be on to something…
