Specific UGC sells supplements. Polish barely matters. A video that says "great product, highly recommend" converts at nearly zero. A video that says "I was cramping at km 32 of every long run, here's what fixed it" converts, because it speaks to someone living that exact problem right now.
Be that specific. Give people a reason to pause.

Topics by Product
Priority: Push This One
The biggest opening: most endurance athletes think creatine is "for gym bros." Bust that myth with your own experience. The contrarian hook angle works best here.
Creatine for endurance athletes: the myth bust
"Creatine made me faster. I'm a marathon runner. Here's how."
Getting weaker the more cardio you do
"I was losing strength the more I ran. This fixed it."
Hybrid athlete: building muscle + doing cardio
"I lift 4x and run 60km a week. One supplement, non-negotiable."
Cheapest performance upgrade in endurance sport
"The most underrated $20 in endurance sport."
Holding harder paces / buffering lactic acid
"I can hold threshold 40 seconds per km longer. One change."
Pure formula, no fillers or unnecessary ingredients
"Most creatine is 60% creatine. This one's 100%."
Specs worth dropping in: Pure creatine monohydrate · No fillers · 200g · $19.99. Also backs VO2 max, power output, and lactic acid buffering (not just lifting)
Priority: Push This One
Next-day soreness after long runs
"My legs were wrecked after every 30km run. What actually helped."
Hitting protein while burning massive calories
"I'm burning 1000+ cals/session and trying to maintain muscle. Here's how I eat."
Post-race recovery window (30 min rule)
"Finished Hyrox 20 minutes ago. First thing I did."
Double training day, no time to cook
"Two sessions today. No time to sit down and eat. What I do instead."
Specs worth dropping in: 23g protein per serve · NZ grass-fed whey · 33 serves
Cramping in the final stretch of long runs or races
"I DNF'd my last 70.3 because of cramping. This is what I changed."
Bonking/hitting the wall mid-ride or brick session
"Hour 3 on the bike, every session. I had nothing. Found out why."
Gut issues with regular sports drinks during races
"Every sports drink gave me gut rot mid-race. Found one that doesn't."
Only drinking water on long runs
"I used to only drink water on long runs. No wonder I was cramping."
Race day nutrition protocol
"Ironman [or Hyrox/marathon]: exactly what I carry and when I take it."
How you actually fuel a long run
"People keep asking how I fuel my long runs. Here's the exact plan."
Specs worth dropping in: 30g carbs · 2:1 maltodextrin:fructose (gut clears it fast) · 530mg Na · 300mg K · 150mg Mg · 27 serves
Plant-based athlete struggling to hit protein targets
"I'm plant-based, training for an Ironman. How I actually hit 160g protein."
Whey protein causing bloating or gut issues
"Whey protein wrecked my gut. What I use instead."
Leucine content for muscle retention in endurance athletes
"The amino acid endurance athletes never talk about, and why it matters."
Specs worth dropping in: 2120mg leucine per serve (unusually high for pea protein) · Wildberry + Vanilla
5am training sessions year-round
"I train at 5am, every day. This is the only reason I get out of bed."
Afternoon crash before evening sessions
"I work 9-5 and train after work. Here's how I'm not useless by 6pm."
Clean formula, no jitters or crash
"I've tried every pre-workout. Most feel like a heart attack. This one doesn't."

Hook Formulas: Fill In and Use
The first 3–5 seconds decide whether someone keeps watching. Be specific. Specific details stop the scroll. Treat these as templates and swap in details from your own story.
01 · The Specific Problem
"I [specific bad thing] at [specific moment]. This is what I changed."
"I cramped at km 32 of every long run. This is what I changed."
"I bonked at hour 4 on the bike every single brick session. Found out why."
"I was 6 weeks out from my Ironman and my power output was dropping. Fixed it."
02 · The Contrarian Statement
"[Common belief]. [Opposite] is what actually happened to me."
"Creatine is for bodybuilders. That's what I thought until I PR'd my marathon on it."
"More water equals better hydration. I was drinking 4L a day and still cramping."
"Supplements are a waste of money. $20 creatine changed my training more than anything else."
03 · The Race Countdown
"[X days] out from [event]. My nutrition stack right now."
"3 weeks out from Hyrox. This is exactly what I'm taking and when."
"Tomorrow is race day. Full Ironman. This is what's in my bag."
"8 weeks of marathon training in. Here's what's actually working."
04 · The Identity Hook
"As someone who [does both endurance + strength], [common advice] doesn't cut it."
"I'm a Hyrox athlete. I need power AND endurance. Here's how I actually fuel."
"As someone who runs 60km and lifts 4x a week, standard nutrition advice doesn't apply."
"I work full-time and train twice a day. I don't have time to overthink nutrition."
05 · The Quiet Confession
"I used to [wrong thing]. Turns out [better thing]. Here's what changed."
"I used to replace all my sweat with water. Turns out I was making it worse."
"I skipped protein after long runs because I wasn't hungry. My recovery was terrible."
"I thought creatine was cheating. Then I actually understood what it does."
06 · The Specific Result
"I [specific measurable result]. The one thing I added was [product]."
"I held zone 3 for 90 minutes without cramping for the first time ever. One thing changed."
"Shaved 4 minutes off my half marathon. I wasn't training harder. I was recovering better."
"My threshold intervals improved by 40 seconds per km. I added creatine. That's it."

Hook (first 3 sec)
"I DNF'd my last 70.3 because of cramping. This is what I changed."
Body
"I was doing everything right: drinking constantly, not going too hard. But I was sweating 2+ litres an hour in the Auckland heat and replacing it with plain water. I was destroying my electrolyte balance completely.
I switched to KYRO Hydrafuel. 530mg sodium, 300mg potassium, 150mg magnesium per serve, and 30g of carbs in a ratio designed to clear your gut fast. No bloating, no sloshing mid-race. [shows product]
I've done 4 long sessions since. Zero cramping."
CTA
"Link in bio. $49.99 for 27 serves. If you're cramping, it's not a fitness problem."
Hook (first 3 sec)
"Creatine made me a faster runner. I know how that sounds."
Body
"Everyone thinks creatine is for gym guys chasing gains. But what it actually does is increase your muscles' phosphocreatine stores, which helps buffer lactic acid so you can hold harder efforts for longer before your legs give out.
I've been taking 5g of KYRO creatine every day for 8 weeks. [shows product] Pure monohydrate, no fillers, $19.99 for 200g.
My threshold intervals are 40 seconds per km faster. That's not a coincidence."
CTA
"Link in bio. Most underrated $20 you'll spend on your training."
Hook (first 3 sec)
"I just ran a 3:02 marathon. One thing I changed in training."
Body
"I got serious about the 30-minute post-run protein window. Specifically after long runs, when you're not hungry but your muscles are wrecked. That's when it matters most.
KYRO Whey is 23g of NZ grass-fed protein per scoop. I add creatine and I'm done. [holds up shaker] Recovery between sessions is completely different. I'm not dreading long runs because I'm not wrecked for 3 days after them."
CTA
"Link in bio. $59.99, 33 serves."
Hook (first 3 sec)
"I'm plant-based and training for my first Ironman. How I actually hit 160g of protein."
Body
"People keep asking how I manage protein at this volume on a plant-based diet. Honestly, I don't overthink it.
KYRO Pea Protein has 2120mg of leucine per serve. Leucine is the amino acid that actually triggers muscle protein synthesis, and pea protein usually doesn't deliver it at a useful level. This one does. Wildberry flavour, mixes clean, doesn't bloat me during training.
Two serves a day fills the gap. Everything else comes from food."
CTA
"Link in bio. $39.99. Plant-based training fuel that actually works."
Hook (first 3 sec)
"Race day tomorrow. Ironman. Everything going in my nutrition bag."
Body
[Lay flat of products on table]
"Morning of: KYRO Energize pre-race, for focus, not just stimulants. On the bike: Hydrafuel every 45 minutes. I'm targeting 90g of carbs per hour in a 2:1 ratio so it clears my gut fast. On the run: keeping a bottle of Hydrafuel for sodium, especially after km 20 when things fall apart if you're not topped up.
Post-race, within 30 minutes: KYRO Whey. Your muscles are wrecked. Feed them immediately."
CTA
"This is 18 months of Ironman build in a nutrition plan. Links in bio."
Hook (first 3 sec)
"I lift 4 times a week and run 60km. This is the only supplement stack I use."
Body
[Training footage: gym + running]
"Hybrid training is its own thing. I'm not a runner and I'm not a powerlifter. I need strength and I need endurance, and most nutrition advice is written for one or the other.
What actually works for me: KYRO Creatine daily, 5g, non-negotiable, for buffering lactic acid and maintaining power output through high run volume. And KYRO Whey post every session, especially after long runs when I'm not hungry but my body needs it most.
[holds up both products]
Two products. About $80 total. I've tried everything more complicated. This is what stayed."
CTA
"Both available as a stack at kyro.co.nz. Link in bio. Saves you $20."
Section 05
Dos and Don'ts
Do This
Be specific. Name the distance, the race, the feeling.
Film in training environments: gyms, roads, trails, after a session.
Show the product in your hand or your bag, not staged on a table.
Say the price out loud. KYRO is affordable and athletes respond to that.
Talk to one person: the athlete cramping, the one hitting a wall.
Use real numbers: "8 weeks," "40 sec/km," "$19.99," "530mg sodium."
Close with a CTA, even a plain "link in bio."
Don't Do This
Say "highly recommend," "game changer," or "love this product" with no reason.
Film in clean clothes in a kitchen. It reads as an ad, not UGC.
Over-explain the science. One specific claim is enough.
Use language you can't back yourself, like "clinically proven."
Read from a script. Know your 3 points, then talk.
Skip the CTA. Say what to do next.
