Sports Nutrition Lattes — Dietary Supplements

Lattes, Boirargues, Maurin, Pérols: the south of the conurbation is where the CrossFit boxes, the fitness clubs and the runners circling the lagoons are concentrated. What there is not around the corner is a range deep enough to compare four creatines or three families of whey side by side. Our Vendargues shop is about twenty minutes from Lattes, and an order placed online is ready there within two hours.

Which route from Lattes or Pérols?

The simplest is the A709: you join it from Lattes or Boirargues heading towards Nîmes and come off at Vendargues, then a few hundred metres on the RN 113. Allow eighteen to twenty-five minutes depending on the time of day; off-peak it is closer to eighteen.

From Pérols, Carnon or La Grande-Motte, the other option is to come up via the D66 then the D24 towards Mauguio and join the RN 113: the mileage is comparable and you avoid the motorway at the times when it is jammed.

The shop sits on the edge of the main road, in the Portes Domitiennes trading estate, and parking is free right outside the entrance. Nobody drives twenty minutes only to spend ten more circling for a space: here, the question does not arise.

Is the trip worth it?

It is worth it if you get something out of it that a parcel does not give you. In practice, three things:

• Comparing labels in your hand. Two tubs say “whey isolate” on the front and do not have the same protein content per serving, the same sweetener profile or the same milk origin. That is visible in thirty seconds at the counter, not on a product page.
• Tasting before buying a two-kilo size. The most expensive mistake in sports nutrition is not paying too much, it is buying a flavour you cannot bring yourself to finish.
• Putting your questions to someone who trains too. The dosage, the timing, what is of no use in your case: we will tell you, including when the answer is “you do not need it”.

And if you do not want to spend your afternoon on it: order online, choose in-store pickup, and your basket is ready within two hours maximum. You stop off on your way home and leave again in three minutes. Lattes is one of the furthest towns in the inner ring: the sports nutrition shop near me page lets you compare your journey honestly with that of the other towns before deciding. And if the trip really is not possible: shipping throughout France and Europe, dispatch the same day for every order placed before 2 pm. Methods and lead times on the delivery page.

What to take when you train by the water, in high summer?

The south of the conurbation has one particular feature: people run, cycle and row a great deal outdoors there, and from May to September it stays hot late. That context genuinely changes the priorities — the same reasoning applies further west, incidentally, around the Étang de Thau and Sète, where water sports hold the same place.

• Electrolytes come before everything else on long sessions in strong heat. Sodium, potassium, magnesium: what goes out with the sweat is what needs putting back.
• Clear whey is drunk chilled, like a fruity drink. After a WOD at 7 pm in July, it goes down where a creamy shaker does not.
• Exercise carbohydrates — cyclic dextrin, maltodextrin — are useful on long bike rides and sessions of more than an hour, not on a forty-minute strength session.
• EAAs have their place in fasted training early in the morning, when breakfast will not go down before 6.30 am.
• Protein bars sort out the journey home, the one where you get in ravenous and eat anything going.

The rest of the range is there too: proteins, creatine monohydrate and Creapure®, boosters and caffeine-free formulas, multivitamins, magnesium and omega 3. We are the distributor for IO Genix and Sinob in the Hérault.

Opening hours that work with a working day

The shop is open Monday to Saturday, from 10 am to 7 pm without a break, closed on Sundays. No midday closing: if you work over towards Port Marianne or Le Millénaire, in Montpellier, and your only window is between 12 pm and 2 pm, it is open. On Saturdays too, until 7 pm.
