CREATINE
What It Is:
Creatine is one of the most studied and proven supplements in the world.
It’s naturally found in your muscles and brain — helping your body produce and recycle energy (ATP), especially during high-intensity effort like lifting, rucking, hill climbs, or long-distance hikes.
For over 30 years, research has shown that creatine can improve strength, endurance, recovery, and even brain function.
Safe, simple, and effective — for everyday explorers, not just gym athletes.
Benefits of Creatine:
+Boosts muscle strength and power
+Improves endurance and performance
+ Aids recovery between efforts
+Supports brain health and mental focus especially under stress or fatigue
+May help with memory, clarity, and cognitive performance during tough challenges
+ Safe for long-term daily use
Best Taken:
Consistent daily use works best
anytime, with or without food
Who It’s For:
Everyone can benefit from Creatine
Backed by Evidence:
Creatine is supported by hundreds of studies showing its safety and effectiveness ,not just for strength, but for brain energy and cognitive support too.

Collagen
What It Is:
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body — making up your joints, ligaments, tendons, skin, and bones.
As we get older (even from our 20s), natural collagen production starts to decline, which can lead to joint stiffness, slower recovery, and weaker connective tissue.
Marine Collagen is one of the most easily absorbed forms of collagen, sourced from fish, and provides a high-quality boost to support your movement, recovery, and resilience.
At Rugged, we use Marine Collagen because it’s clean, highly bioavailable, and perfect for active explorers.
Benefits of Marine Collagen:
+Supports joint, tendon, and ligament health
+May reduce joint pain and stiffness
+Helps soft tissue repair and recovery (especially important for walking, hiking, and rucking)
+Supports healthy skin, hair, and nails
+May help protect against injury from repetitive movement and strain
+Easy to absorb, easy to use daily
Best Taken:
10g daily for best results
Anytime:
mix into water, coffee, smoothies, or meals
Our Rugged Marine Collagen Powder is neutral in taste, dissolves easily, and fits into your daily routine without hassle.
Who It’s For:
Hikers, Walkers,active indiviuals,.
People with joint stiffness, and skin and nail protection.
People focused on recovery,
resilience, and healthy ageing.
Backed by Evidence:
Multiple studies show that regular collagen supplementation can improve tendon strength, joint health, and recovery after intense or repetitive movement.

Electrolytes
What They Are:
Electrolytes are essential minerals — like sodium, potassium, and magnesium — that help regulate hydration, muscle function, nerve signals, and overall fluid balance.
When you move, sweat, or train, you lose electrolytes — and replacing them is key to staying strong, avoiding cramps, and maintaining performance.
