Strength training and everyday energy are two different problems — and this bundle is built to cover both without you needing to research two separate ingredients. Here's what's actually backing each one.
Written by Vita Globe Editorial Team | Reviewed against peer-reviewed research and NIH guidance
Does this bundle actually help both performance and everyday energy?
Creatine has some of the strongest evidence of any sports supplement for improving high-intensity exercise performance[1], and vitamin B12 supports the cellular energy metabolism that underlies everyday output[2]. The Performance & Recovery Bundle pairs both at a lower combined price than buying separately.
Caveat: Extra B12 hasn't been shown to boost energy beyond a normal baseline in someone who isn't deficient — it's most useful for people at higher risk of low B12, like older adults or those eating a vegan or vegetarian diet[2].

Why these two are bundled together
This bundle covers two separate, non-overlapping needs for someone training regularly: creatine for strength and power output, and B12 for the everyday cellular energy metabolism that has nothing to do with the gym specifically. Neither substitutes for the other.

Creatine: the best-supported part of this bundle
Creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched supplements in sports nutrition. The International Society of Sports Nutrition's position stand concludes that creatine supplementation reliably increases intramuscular creatine stores and improves high-intensity, short-duration exercise performance, and is considered safe for healthy individuals at recommended doses.[1] A typical maintenance dose is 3-5g/day. Vita Globe's Sugar-Free Creatine Gummies come in Tart Green Apple and Blue Raspberry flavors.
Where B12 fits in
Vitamin B12 is required for red blood cell formation and normal neurological function, and a genuine deficiency causes real fatigue.[2] B12 is most likely to be low in older adults, people following a vegan or vegetarian diet, and people with certain absorption issues; if you're not in one of those groups and eat a varied diet, you're less likely to be deficient in the first place, and supplementing beyond a real deficiency has not been shown to create extra energy on top of a normal baseline. Vita Globe's Vitamin B12 1,000mcg Gummies are a straightforward way to cover this base, particularly for anyone in a higher-risk group.
The honest summary
- Creatine has the strongest and most consistent evidence of the two ingredients in this bundle.[1]
- B12 mainly helps if you're actually deficient or at higher risk of being so; it isn't a general energy booster for someone who isn't.[2]
OUR OPTION
The Performance & Recovery Bundle pairs Sugar-Free Creatine Gummies and Vitamin B12 1,000mcg Gummies (60ct) for less than buying each separately. Suggested use: four creatine gummies and two B12 gummies daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
STAY ON TRACK
Four creatine gummies and two B12 gummies a day is a routine worth setting up right, not re-counting every morning. Our 7-Day Pill Organizer keeps a full week of both doses sorted. See the full Vita Globe Merch line →
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to cycle creatine on and off?
No — the research supports long-term daily use at maintenance doses (3-5g/day) without cycling on and off.[1]
Will creatine make me gain weight?
Creatine can cause a small increase in water retention within muscle cells for some people, which can show up as a modest scale-weight increase — this isn't fat gain.
Can B12 give me more energy if I'm not deficient?
Extra B12 hasn't been shown to boost energy beyond a normal baseline in someone who isn't deficient. It's most useful for people at higher risk of low B12, such as older adults or those eating a vegan or vegetarian diet.[2]
