The Power
Hierarchy

Supplements are the 5% tier of an athletic foundation. We prioritize metabolic efficiency and consistency over novelty.

01.

Foundational Diet

Prioritizing Whole-Food nutrition and the Dutch Schijf van Vijf adapted for high caloric expenditure.

02.

Training Load

Adjusting macro ratios to support specific training intensity windows and recovery periods.

03.

Sleep Hygiene

Systematic recovery through consistent circadian alignment and CNS restoration.

04.

Strategic Aids

The final layer of performance optimization, applied only once primary bio-markers are stable.

Performance
Dossiers

Revised: May 2026
/01

Creatine Monohydrate

CLASS A: ERGOGENIC AID
Primary mechanism involves the rapid regeneration of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) during short-duration, high-intensity exertion. Supports muscle cell hydration and cognitive function under fatigue.
DOSAGE: 3-5G / DAY SATURATION: 21 DAYS
/02

Beta-Alanine

CLASS B: INTRA-MUSCULAR BUFFER
Increases carnosine concentrations to manage Hydrogen ion accumulation during high-rep anaerobic training. Optimized for efforts lasting 60 to 240 seconds.
DOSAGE: 3.2-6.4G / DAY SPLIT: 4 DOSES
/03

Caffeine Anhydrous

CLASS A: CNS STIMULANT
Antagonizes adenosine receptors to enhance alertness and reduce perceived exertion. Improves glycogen sparing during endurance bouts and increases power output in strength cycles.
DOSAGE: 3-6MG/KG TIMING: 60M PRE
/04

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

CLASS C: METABOLIC SUPPORT
EPA and DHA concentrations focus on muscle-protein synthesis modulation and cardiovascular efficiency. Essential for managing environmental stress during peak training blocks.
DOSAGE: 2000MG+ RATIO: 2:1 EPA:DHA

Core Philosophy

EFFICIENCY OVER VOLUME

Nutritional methodology lab

Whey Isolate vs.
Hydrolysate

Deciphering the speed of amino acid delivery. Within the Power Netherlands framework, we analyze the cost-to-benefit ratio of different protein fractions to determine absolute necessity during specific metabolic windows.

  • Bioavailability

    Isolate provides a 90%+ protein concentration with minimal lactose, making it the standard for Dutch athletes.

  • Absorption Speed

    Hydrolysate undergoes enzymatic pre-digestion for rapid uptake, reserved for immediately after intense competition bouts.

  • Economic Ratio

    Priority choosing:

    For 95% of training scenarios, Isolate represents the functional equilibrium between cost and performance.
