GoalContent That Converts
UpdatedJune 2026
UGC Content Brief
Specific topics, hook formulas, and example scripts to create content that actually drives sales — not just views.

The UGC that sells supplements isn't polished. It's specific. 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 actually fixed it" converts because it speaks directly to someone having that exact experience right now.

Your job is to be that specific. Give people a reason to pause. Everything in this brief is designed to help you do exactly that.

5 Content Styles That Convert
Style 01 — Best Overall
Pain Point → Fix
Describe a specific training or race problem, then show how the product solved it. The problem must be hyper-specific — a distance, a moment, a feeling.
30–60 sec Talking head Training footage
Style 02 — High Credibility
Race Day Stack Reveal
X days out from a race — or morning of — show exactly what you're taking and when. Real stakes = real credibility. If you trust it before an Ironman, they trust it too.
30–45 sec Lay-flat / bag dump Voiceover
Style 03
Milestone Attribution
You just PR'd, finished an event, or hit a training benchmark. You tie part of the outcome to what you've been fuelling with — without overclaiming. Performance proof beats everything.
15–30 sec Post-race/session Raw emotion works
Style 04
Real Routine Integration
A genuine training day where the product appears naturally. Not a product demo — it's just part of your life. Normalises the purchase. Viewers see someone like them already doing this.
60–90 sec POV / day-in-life Product = 10 sec max
Style 05 — Authenticity Play
Honest First Impression / Taste Review
Real-time reaction to taste, mix, texture, how it feels in training. Unscripted. An "oh that's actually good" moment is worth more than any polished testimonial. People can tell when you're reading from a script — don't.

Hook Formulas — Fill In and Use

The opening 3–5 seconds decide whether someone keeps watching. One rule: be specific. Specificity stops the scroll. These are templates — adapt the details to your actual 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."

"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."
6 Full Example Scripts

Adapt these to your own story, numbers, and experience. Keep the structure — change the details to make it yours. Authentic is the goal, not word-perfect.

Script 1 — Hydrafuel · Cramping Fix
Pain Point → Fix 45 sec
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."
Script 2 — Creatine · The Myth Bust
Contrarian 40 sec
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."
Script 3 — Whey Protein · Milestone Attribution
Milestone Attribution 30 sec
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."
Script 4 — Pea Protein · Plant-Based Athlete
Pain Point → Fix 45 sec
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."
Script 5 — Hydrafuel · Race Day Stack Reveal
Race Day Reveal 40 sec
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."
Script 6 — Creatine + Whey Stack · Hybrid Athlete Routine
Real Routine 60 sec
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."
Dos and Don'ts
Do This
Be specific — name the distance, the race, the exact feeling
Film in training environments — gyms, roads, trails, post-session
Show the product naturally — in your bag, in your hand, not staged on a table
Say the price out loud — KYRO is affordable and athletes respond to that
Talk to one specific person — the athlete cramping, the person hitting a wall
Use real numbers — "8 weeks," "40 sec/km," "$19.99," "530mg sodium"
Always end with a CTA — even just "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 personally — no "clinically proven" etc.
Read from a script — know your 3 points, then talk naturally
Skip the CTA — always say what to do next

Hook Formulas — Fill In and Use

The opening 3–5 seconds decide whether someone keeps watching. One rule: be specific. Specificity stops the scroll. These are templates — adapt the details to your actual 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."

02 — The Contrarian Statement

"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

"Tomorrow is race day. Full Ironman. This is what's in my bag."

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."
6 Full Example Scripts

Adapt these to your own story, numbers, and experience. Keep the structure — change the details to make it yours. Authentic is the goal, not word-perfect.

Script 1 — Hydrafuel · Cramping Fix
Pain Point → Fix 45 sec
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."
Script 2 — Creatine · The Myth Bust
Contrarian 40 sec
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."
Script 3 — Whey Protein · Milestone Attribution
Milestone Attribution 30 sec
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."
Script 4 — Pea Protein · Plant-Based Athlete
Pain Point → Fix 45 sec
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."
Script 5 — Hydrafuel · Race Day Stack Reveal
Race Day Reveal 40 sec
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."
Script 6 — Creatine + Whey Stack · Hybrid Athlete Routine
Real Routine 60 sec
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."
Dos and Don'ts
Do This
Be specific — name the distance, the race, the exact feeling
Film in training environments — gyms, roads, trails, post-session
Show the product naturally — in your bag, in your hand, not staged on a table
Say the price out loud — KYRO is affordable and athletes respond to that
Talk to one specific person — the athlete cramping, the person hitting a wall
Use real numbers — "8 weeks," "40 sec/km," "$19.99," "530mg sodium"
Always end with a CTA — even just "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 personally — no "clinically proven" etc.
Read from a script — know your 3 points, then talk naturally

"Creatine is for bodybuilders. That's what I thought until I PR'd my marathon on 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.

GoalContent That Converts
UpdatedJune 2026
UGC Content Brief
Specific topics, hook formulas, and example scripts to create content that actually drives sales — not just views.

The UGC that sells supplements isn't polished. It's specific. 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 actually fixed it" converts because it speaks directly to someone having that exact experience right now.

Your job is to be that specific. Give people a reason to pause. Everything in this brief is designed to help you do exactly that.

5 Content Styles That Convert
Style 01 — Best Overall
Pain Point → Fix
Describe a specific training or race problem, then show how the product solved it. The problem must be hyper-specific — a distance, a moment, a feeling.

Milestone Attribution
You just PR'd, finished an event, or hit a training benchmark. You tie part of the outcome to what you've been fuelling with — without overclaiming. Performance proof beats everything.

A genuine training day where the product appears naturally. Not a product demo — it's just part of your life. Normalises the purchase. Viewers see someone like them already doing this.
60–90 sec POV / day-in-life Product = 10 sec max
Style 05 — Authenticity Play
Honest First Impression / Taste Review
Real-time reaction to taste, mix, texture, how it feels in training. Unscripted. An "oh that's actually good" moment is worth more than any polished testimonial. People can tell when you're reading from a script — don't.

Hook Formulas — Fill In and Use

The opening 3–5 seconds decide whether someone keeps watching. One rule: be specific. Specificity stops the scroll. These are templates — adapt the details to your actual 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."

Adapt these to your own story, numbers, and experience. Keep the structure — change the details to make it yours. Authentic is the goal, not word-perfect.

Script 1 — Hydrafuel · Cramping Fix
Pain Point → Fix 45 sec
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."
Script 2 — Creatine · The Myth Bust
Contrarian 40 sec
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."
Script 3 — Whey Protein · Milestone Attribution
Milestone Attribution 30 sec
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."
Script 4 — Pea Protein · Plant-Based Athlete
Pain Point → Fix 45 sec
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."
Script 5 — Hydrafuel · Race Day Stack Reveal
Race Day Reveal 40 sec
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."
Script 6 — Creatine + Whey Stack · Hybrid Athlete Routine
Real Routine 60 sec
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."
Dos and Don'ts
Do This
Be specific — name the distance, the race, the exact feeling
Film in training environments — gyms, roads, trails, post-session
Show the product naturally — in your bag, in your hand, not staged on a table
Say the price out loud — KYRO is affordable and athletes respond to that
Talk to one specific person — the athlete cramping, the person hitting a wall
Use real numbers — "8 weeks," "40 sec/km," "$19.99," "530mg sodium"
Always end with a CTA — even just "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 personally — no "clinically proven" etc.
Read from a script — know your 3 points, then talk naturally
Skip the CTA — always say what to do next
