Sports Nutrition in Montpellier — KISS NUTRITION store in Vendargues

For someone doing resistance training three to five times a week, the useful range is 1.6 to 2 g of protein per kilo of body weight per day. An 80 kg man is therefore aiming for 130 to 160 g.

That is well above what three ordinary meals provide, and this is where powder becomes practical: one serving of whey delivers 20-25 g, the equivalent of three eggs, with no cooking and no washing up.

Beyond 2.2 g per kilo, nothing indicates that you progress any faster. Paying for that surplus makes no sense. Our protein powders are there to complete a diet, not to replace it.

Concentrate contains 70 to 80% protein, keeps a little lactose and fat, and remains the best value per kilo. In the vast majority of cases, it is the one you need.

Isolate rises to 85-90% with very little lactose: worth it if milky shakes sit heavily on your stomach, or during a cutting phase where every gram counts.

Hydrolysate costs considerably more for a marginal gain; keep it for a specific need. As for timing, it matters less than people claim: within the two hours around your session is more than enough. See whey concentrate.

In a healthy person and at the usual doses of 3 to 5 g per day, the published data show no impairment of kidney function. Creatine monohydrate is among the substances assessed by EFSA.

One point is worth knowing: creatine mechanically raises blood creatinine levels, which can be surprising when reading a blood test. Mention it to your doctor before the analysis; it avoids a false alarm.

If you have a known kidney condition, if you are on medication or if you have the slightest doubt, ask for their opinion before starting. That decision belongs to them, not to a creatine retailer.

Monohydrate. It is the most studied form and the cheapest, and none of the versions marketed as next-generation has shown that it does better.

If you want a step up in purity, look at the Creapure label: monohydrate produced in Germany, with documented quality control.

The dose is 3 to 5 g per day, every day, including rest days. It is consistency that fills the muscle stores, not the time you take it. A loading phase is in no way compulsory: it brings the result forward by about a fortnight, without changing the destination. All our creatine monohydrate.

Our sports nutrition shop is in Vendargues, 285 rue des Portes Domitiennes, about ten minutes from Montpellier.
From Castelnau-le-Lez, Le Crès, Baillargues, Mauguio or Lattes, allow a quarter of an hour's drive. You will find the protein, creatine, pre-workout and everyday supplement shelves, and someone behind the counter to talk them through.

Opening hours, directions and how to get here are set out on the page for our Vendargues shop.

Yes. Order online, choose collection in store, and your order is prepared in Vendargues within two hours at most, during opening hours.

It is the quickest option if you live east of Montpellier, or if you notice on a Tuesday evening that the tub is empty. The simplest thing is to wait for the message telling you the order is ready before setting off.

You can of course also come without having ordered anything and leave with whatever is on the shelves: the address and opening hours are on the nutrition Vendargues page.

Yes, and that is the whole point of coming to the counter. You can compare two labels side by side, sort a serious dose from a token one, and leave with the product that matches what you actually do in training.

We sell sports nutrition all day long: we see which products people come back for and which disappoint, and we say so — including when the honest answer is that you need nothing more.

If you cannot come to Vendargues, write to us or call the shop from the contact page. The answer will be the same, it will simply come by phone.

Yes, throughout France and Europe. Any order placed before 2 pm is dispatched the same day, to a pickup point, to your home or by express depending on what you choose at checkout.

One clarification that avoids misunderstandings: dispatching is not delivering. The parcel leaves our hands the same day, but the transit time belongs to the carrier and varies with the destination. Some items ship separately, by UPS home delivery, and take three to five working days: no pickup point and no express option on those. An order combining the two arrives in two parcels, with two tracking numbers.

The shipping methods, prices and transit times quoted by each carrier are set out on the delivery page.

That is a question for your doctor or your pharmacist, not for a shop assistant. Some plants and some dosages interact with ongoing treatments, and we know neither your medical file nor your prescription.

What we can do is give you the full composition and the exact label of any product on the site, so that you can show them to a healthcare professional. Ask for it through the contact page.

Two common-sense rules in the meantime: a supplement completes a diet, it does not replace it; and supplements are not intended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, nor for minors, without medical advice.
