Nexus is an Australian supplement brand with several products that sound similar but serve different jobs. PER4M is its stimulant pre-workout line. AMP3D 2.0 is the caffeine-free alternative. Super Protein is a collagen-based drink powder, not whey. If you are buying from New Zealand, the first choice is the job you want the product to do, then the exact formula and serving size on its label.

The short answer

  • For a caffeinated pre-workout, compare PER4M, PER4M 2.0 and the ready-to-drink PER4M can. Do not assume they have the same strength.
  • For a pre-workout without caffeine, look at AMP3D 2.0.
  • For a light protein drink, Super Protein powder and Sparkling Water are collagen-based. If you want a complete protein for a daily muscle-building target, compare whey or a suitable plant blend.
  • For plain creatine, Nexus has unflavoured monohydrate in 150g and 500g sizes. Pick the size you will use.

Who is Nexus?

Nexus Sports Nutrition describes itself as an Australian brand started by two gym enthusiasts. NZ Supps carries selected Nexus products for New Zealand shoppers. The brand's product lines cover different training and nutrition needs, making the formula a useful starting point when comparing the range.

Our Nexus collection spans pre-workouts, collagen protein, creatine, ready-to-drink products and wellness lines. It is a broad catalogue, so “best Nexus supplement” has no useful answer without a goal. A product that suits an early gym session may be wrong for an evening workout or a protein target.

PER4M, PER4M 2.0 and the RTD

Standard PER4M is the familiar pre-workout tub with several flavours and a mini variety pack. The manufacturer's product page describes a caffeine-based formula. If flavour is your sticking point, the PER4M flavour guide groups the catalogue by flavour style and availability.

PER4M 2.0 is a different, more intense formula. Serving conventions differ between product pages, so check the physical label and the scoop size you plan to take before comparing caffeine or other ingredients. A double serving and a single serving cannot be compared as though they were the same dose.

There is also a PER4M ready-to-drink 500ml can, plus a twelve-pack. It avoids a shaker, but it is its own formula. Choose it for convenience, not because the can is interchangeable with a scoop of either powder. If you are sensitive to caffeine or train late, consider a no-caffeine option instead.

AMP3D 2.0: the stimulant-free option

Nexus describes AMP3D 2.0 as a pre-workout without caffeine. That is the key distinction. It is aimed at pump and focus rather than a stimulant lift. NZ Supps listed Red Sour Straps, Orange Cream and Sour Apple as available on 23 September 2026; Blue Sour Straps was out of stock. If a pre-workout makes you feel too wired, this is the Nexus line to compare. If your main reason to buy is a caffeine boost, AMP3D will not give you one. For more detail, see AMP3D 2.0 explained.

Super Protein: know the protein source

Super Protein powder is a flavoured collagen-peptide drink, with a tasteless option in the NZ catalogue. The Sparkling Water is a canned collagen-based product available as singles and twelve-packs. Both are easy to confuse with whey protein if you read only “protein” in the name.

Collagen can contribute to your total protein intake, but it is not interchangeable with whey for essential amino acids. If your main target is muscle protein after training, a complete source is the sensible baseline. If you want a lighter drink alongside a diet that already covers complete proteins, the Nexus format may appeal. Our collagen versus whey guide explains that distinction, and the Super Protein flavour guide helps with the separate taste-style decision.

Creatine and the smaller lines

Nexus Creatine Monohydrate is listed as unflavoured 150g and 500g tubs, at 30 and 100 catalogue serves respectively. Both showed stock. The larger tub gives more of the same ingredient, not a stronger formula. Buy the 150g if you want a smaller commitment or the 500g if you already use creatine regularly. Compare the exact price per serving on the product pages when you order because prices can move.

Other lines include Easy Burn, Triple Magnesium, L-Citrulline Malate, Alpha-GPC, NAC, Shilajit, NMN and Tongkat Ali. They are not substitutes for creatine or protein just because they share a brand. Check the ingredient, intended use and evidence for each rather than building a “Nexus stack” by default. For a simple first purchase, identify one gap in your current routine and address that first.

Where NZ Supps fits

We carry the range across pre-workout, protein drinks and creatine. The collection pages show the live catalogue and availability. The practical split is straightforward: stimulant pre-workout, stimulant-free pre-workout, collagen drink or plain creatine. Once you know which of those you want, compare labels and pack sizes inside that group.
