You’ve learned what each supplement does. Now it’s time to talk strategy.
The truth is: supplements work best when they’re used with purpose—timed correctly, paired intelligently, and aligned with your current goals and training demands.
In this final part of the series, we’ll show you exactly how to stack Peak Rugby supplements based on performance needs, age, and timing. Whether you’re a young athlete building your foundation or a seasoned player pushing for the next level—this is your game plan.
WHO SHOULD START WITH SUPPLEMENTS?
Supplements aren’t just for pros—they’re for any athlete who trains hard, eats well, and needs help filling the gaps.
We recommend Peak Rugby supplements for:
- Ages 14+ who train at least 3x/week
- Players with good foundational habits: eating whole foods, staying hydrated, and getting enough sleep
- Athletes who want to build strength, recover faster, prevent injuries, and boost performance
Parents, read this: These aren’t mystery powders. Each Peak Rugby supplement is a single-ingredient, clean formula used by athletes around the world—and backed by science.
GOAL-BASED STACKING STRATEGIES
1. FOUNDATIONAL STACK (Ages 14–16)
Perfect for young players just getting into strength & conditioning:
- BUILD – 1 scoop post-training or as a snack to support protein needs
- PROTECT – 1 scoop daily to support tendons, ligaments, and growing joints
Why it matters: These athletes are still developing physically. This stack helps build strength safely, prevents overuse injuries, and supports long-term tissue resilience.
2. PERFORMANCE & POWER STACK (Ages 16+)
Ideal for high school, college, and club-level athletes during strength or speed phases:
- PERFORM – 5g daily (any time) to improve explosive power and sprint performance
- BUILD – Post-training shake for recovery and muscle building
- RECOVER – Evening or post-workout to reduce soreness and improve recovery
Why it matters: As training intensifies, recovery becomes essential. This stack improves gym performance, supports muscle growth, and helps athletes bounce back quicker between sessions.
3. IN-SEASON MAINTENANCE STACK
For players training, competing, and trying to stay injury-free week after week:
- PROTECT – Daily to reduce joint and connective tissue wear
- RECOVER – After matches or tough training days
- PERFORM – Maintain daily use for energy system support (especially in 7s)
Why it matters: In-season isn’t the time to “go hard” in the gym—but it’s critical to stay resilient and recovered. This stack keeps you healthy, mobile, and ready to play week after week.
4. INJURY RECOVERY & REHAB STACK
For players coming back from injury, surgery, or chronic joint/tendon issues:
- PROTECT – Daily collagen to support ligament, tendon, and bone repair
- RECOVER – 1–2 servings daily to aid tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation
- BUILD – To prevent muscle loss during reduced training periods
Why it matters: Healing requires the right nutrients. This stack supports both the structural repair (collagen, tissue) and muscle maintenance needed during rehab.
5. DAILY HEALTH & RESILIENCE STACK
For year-round use, regardless of training load
- PROTECT – Long-term joint and gut health
- RECOVER – Immune system support and recovery buffer
- BUILD – Easy way to meet protein needs when meals are rushed
Why it matters: Even when you’re not training at 100%, this stack supports overall health, mobility, and recovery—so your body stays ready for whatever comes next.
TIMING TIPS
Supplement Best Time Key Tip:
- BUILD Post-training or breakfast Pair with carbs for max recovery
- PERFORM Daily (anytime) Consistency > timing (same time daily helps)
- PROTECT Anytime Add to coffee, smoothies, or tea (Vitamin C improves absorption)
- RECOVER Post-training or before bed (Great on empty stomach for gut healing)
COMBINATION GUIDE
Here’s how to pair supplements for best results:
- BUILD + PERFORM (post-training): Boost strength and power
- PROTECT + RECOVER (daily): Joint care + full-body recovery
- BUILD + RECOVER (growth phase): Maximize recovery and lean gains
- PERFORM + RECOVER (in-season): Support energy + fast recovery
- PROTECT + BUILD (development phase): Build tissue + support growth
START SMART: WHAT TO TAKE FIRST?
If you’re just starting and want to ease in, here’s how:
- Start with BUILD (if your protein is low or you’re training hard)
- Add PROTECT (if you’re growing, stiff, or have previous joint issues)
Then bring in PERFORM or RECOVER depending on your goal:
