Every hard training day comes down to two questions: what does your body need going in, and what does it need once you've emptied the tank? KA-EX, a Swiss brand, built two drinks for exactly those two moments.
When you are staring down the barrel of the hardest training day of the week, KA-EX has something you can rely on to make the most of it. A pre- and post-workout formula for performance.
Here's how they work together.
Before: KA-EX Creatine EAA+ Booster
This solves a problem that most ready-to-drink creatine products ignore. Creatine isn't stable in liquid - sitting in water, it slowly breaks down into creatinine, the inactive version your body can't use. So a lot of pre-mixed creatine drinks deliver less than the label promises by the time you actually drink them.
KA-EX Creatine EAA+ Booster fixes that with a patented push-cap. The full 3g of creatine stays dry inside the cap and only drops into the drink the moment you press it open. Real, full dose, every time.
And it's a complete pre-workout stack, not just creatine:
3g Creapure creatine for power
Essential amino acids to protect muscle during hard efforts
105mg caffeine for focus
1000mg L-citrulline for blood flow
500mg betaine for power output
Plant extracts and electrolytes to keep everything firing
Press the cap, shake, and drink 15-30 minutes before training. Take creatine every day, rest days included - it works through daily accumulation, so the goal is keeping your stores loaded for when the effort gets hard.
After: KA-EX Cortisol Stress Reducer
Cortisol is supposed to spike in the morning and drop at night, that's healthy. The problem is when it stays elevated, and a long, hard session can keep it up for 24-48 hours afterward. That's what drags down your recovery, your sleep, and the HRV score.
The Cortisol Stress Reducer targets that exact post-workout window. Its key ingredient is phosphatidylserine (the compound that tells your body to dial down stress hormones) paired with amino acids and electrolytes. Backed by 3 clinical trials and 5 years of Swiss research, the data shows it cuts cortisol by 36%, improves REM sleep by 15%, and improves HRV patterns by 10%. Drink it right after you finish.
Put it together: Creatine EAA+ Booster before and during the work, Cortisol Stress Reducer after. One loads the tank and fuels the effort; the other clears the stress so the work actually turns into recovery.
