What the FORM Block does Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise. This beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3g. Your FORM block contains 5g. Alongside creatine, FORM includes HMB, L-arginine, and L-alanine, chosen for quality and consistency. The aim is not stimulation, it's not a caffeine-like substance, it's capacity. Who this block is for Form may be suited to you if you: Train with resistance or high-intensity intervals Want to maintain muscle mass as you age Are returning to structured training Prefer steady, evidence-based support over complex "gym blends" FORM is not required for everyone. If training load is low or sporadic, you may choose to remove it. As with all optional TOTEMIC blocks, FORM remains modular. Why these ingredients Creatine Monohydrate. One of the most extensively researched sports nutrition ingredients. Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise. HMB (Calcium β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate). A metabolite of leucine, included as part of the formula design. L-Arginine (Base). An amino acid included as part of the formula design. L-Alanine. An amino acid included as part of the formula design. How FORM fits into the TOTEMIC system Form layers onto your Foundation (PROTEIN, CARB, CORE). While Protein supports muscle building blocks and Core supports micronutrient sufficiency, Form focuses specifically on creatine at an effective dose, alongside a small set of complementary compounds. It is particularly relevant during: Progressive training phases Return-to-training periods Muscle maintenance in midlife Add it when training intensity increases or if you regularly work out with intensity. Simple. Structured. Adaptable. Dietary Information: the FORM block is vegan. Every sachet includes CORE, which is not — see our vegan info in the FAQ for the details.
