Supplements are growing in popularity and awareness with a growing conversation around supplements being designed and tested with men in mind.
But it shouldn’t be a one size fits all, at least that was the inspiration behind sisters Tammy, Emilee and Amy Hembrow’s new brand Selfish Supps.
According to research women account for over 39% of the UK’s sports nutrition category, yet the majority of supplements or sports aids focus on male performance, their bodies, needs and aesthetic. Yet, they don’t have the hormones women have, and consequently the needs. This is where Selfish Supps come in. Selfish Supps is a female-first sports nutrition brand created by women, for women.
The Selfish Supps range includes seven functionally formulated products that cover the full spectrum of women’s everyday health needs, from energy and performance, to digestion, hydration and muscle recovery. Each formula is free from unnecessary fillers, vegan, gluten-free and halal-certified, yet packed with flavour to make it pleasant to consume.
The items in the range include Give Me Plant Protein, Balance My Gut, Hydrate Me, Give Me Protein Water, Give Me Plant Protein Powder, and I Want Energy.
All products come in delicious flavours which span from Pink Lemonade, Juicy Watermelon, French Vanilla, Blueberry Bliss, to Very Berry. We know many can be bitter or leave a chalky texture in the mouth, but not Selfish Supps.
Selfish Supps is available to buy directly from the website, as well as Boots, both online and in stores.
The supplements typically retail for £29, however, you can make a saving as Selfish Supps is offering shoppers 25% off online purchases.
To claim the discount all you have to do is enter the discount code ‘METROSELFISH25’, which is valid from now until July 14 with a minimum spend of £29.
Plus, the 25% off discount only applies to a one off purchase, so select your favourites wisely.
