Boots selling new Sports Nutrition box worth £160 for just £40
Boots has unveiled a collection of post-exercise recovery snacks and treats, all neatly packaged and significantly discounted. The box, filled with 21 full-sized health and wellness products, is designed to fuel movement and aid recovery.
Purchased individually, the items in the Boots Fuel and Recover Sports Box would cost over £160. However, this bundle can be snapped up for just £39.99, saving shoppers more than £120 on the same quantity of product.
The box includes a variety of well-known brands such as MyProtein, Huel, C4, Grenade, and others. Fans of these brands can replenish their supplies for less or even try something new.
Available online from today (May 14), the box contains different types of protein powder and snacks to help you recover from a workout or meet your protein targets. As it's a new product, there are no reviews of the box itself, but Boots customers can look up specific products individually for shopper feedback, reports the Mirror.

Nuzest Clean Lean Protein Protein Powder (Salted Caramel, 250g)

The Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey is a popular item that's included in this package. Multiple flavours are available on the Boots website, including strawberry and vanilla ice cream - but it's double chocolate that's sampled here.
Fans of the powder have said it "makes great smoothies" and also "tastes great on porridge," although some did mention it was "clumpy" and that "ruined" their experience.
Some of MyProtein's sought-after items are part of the deal, including the Vimto-flavoured Clear Whey Protein, typically priced at £15.75 and presented as a twist on "traditional milky protein shakes". Available flavours include Orange and Mango, Watermelon, and Peach Tea.
Customers on Boots' website have expressed that it 'tastes just like' the classic beverage, but also provides 20g of hydrolysed whey protein, boasting that 'it mixes well with water'. Another person commented that it's "really refreshing" and "a great alternative to normal protein powder" although some were deterred by its "very sweet" taste.
Included in the box is a pack of Boots' own magnesium supplements (valued at £6.50 for 60 tablets). Magnesium is vital for maintaining good health, aiding in the reduction of tiredness and fatigue – perfect for post-exercise recovery.
Past buyers have said that the tablets help them "feel more energetic" and they "notice the difference" if they stop taking them. However, others haven't found them beneficial, and a handful have reported "severe diarrhoea", something that the NHS warns can happen if you have too much of the nutrient in your system.
For those keen on getting into fitness, there are comparable bundles available. Applied Nutrition's bundle offers a selection that includes a JD Gym Day Pass for £29.95, featuring a variety of their products, such as protein powder samples, alongside snacks like cookies, bars, and drinks.
. It's packed with energy-enhancing drinks, protein bars, and recovery supplements from various brands, including Grenade, CNP, MyProtein, Applied Nutrition, and Muscle Moose.
Boots' £40 Fuel and Recover Sports Box is perfect for expanding an existing collection or a great starting point for anyone looking to incorporate a sports supplement into their routine but unsure where to begin. The Sports Nutrition Box can be found online here.
It offers an opportunity to sample some brands that have not yet launched in Boots, such as Humantra and Selfish. These will eventually be available for purchase later in May and June. Customers who purchase the new bundle could save a significant amount on these post-workout indulgences. It's listed as an online exclusive, so you won't find it on the shelves in Boots anytime soon.

By stimulating GLP-1 production, Feel Pro Metabolic helps users feel satisfied with smaller portions and stay full for longer. The powder is available from Feel £49.95 Feel Buy here Product Description The ingredients - which include Kombucha Black Tea, which enhances gut microbiota and GLP-1 secretion, Leaf Powder, Soy Peptide, Bifidobacterium breve, which was found to improve fat metabolism and insulin sensitivity (12-week RCT), and Rockit Apple - are designed to adjust the body's hunger mechanisms, and each one has been validated via in vitro and in vivo studies to ensure efficacy in re-calibrating the body gradually to a less hungry and less snacking version in 90 days. The product is also vegan, gluten-free, cruelty-free and non-GMO. It contains no artificial sweeteners, colours or flavourings.

Another wrote: "Fills me up, I'm snacking less and lost 3lbs already. Blends well, tastes great too!" "Definitely noticed less bloating and I've lost almost a stone!" said another shopper. Some others did share opposing reviews, however, as one buyer wrote: "I can feel the effects however I often get headaches when I have it. So this time I won't be carrying on the subscription." Another said: "Been on pro metabolic for two months and no change yet. Been told I have to wait for three months. Worried I'm wasting my money."

Pharmacist issues vaccine warning to Brits heading on holiday this year
Tourists heading abroad this summer have been urged to consider what vaccinations are recommended for their destination. Holidaymakers jetting off to tropical climates could be exposed to diseases their immune systems aren't used to. Though there aren't mandatory vaccines for some countries, Brits are advised to check any requirements before travelling. Boots pharmacist Claire Nevinson explained the urgency of travellers protecting their health when going abroad. 'It's important to take steps to protect our health when we travel abroad so we can focus on enjoying our holiday,' she said. 'Travel vaccinations may be recommended depending on where you are travelling, the activities you will be doing, and your age and general health.' The healthcare company revealed the most common diseases customers were seeking advice on included Japanese encephalitis, rabies and hepatitis A. More than a third of travellers are planning to jet off to long-haul locations this year, according to Boots, including with Thailand, India and China. Claire added: 'If you're travelling abroad this summer, you may be exposed to diseases we don't usually have in the UK. 'Travel vaccinations may be recommended for your trip as a measure to help prevent you picking these illnesses up. 'The childhood vaccination programme in the UK provides protection from several diseases, but it may also be necessary to consider boosters or other vaccinations if you're planning to visit certain parts of the world.' The pharmacist advised that holidaymakers should consider taking medications with them on their travels too. Claire recommended several items including antihistamines and pain relief, regardless of the destination. 'Whether you're jetting off or keeping it local this summer, it's always wise to pack a few healthcare products depending on the destination you're travelling to,' she said. 'A small first aid kit may be a good start. You could consider including pain relief medicine, antihistamine medicine to help relieve symptoms of hayfever and other allergies, plasters, antiseptic cream, insect repellent and of course broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum of SPF30. 'It's also important to make sure you have an adequate supply of any prescription medicines that you take. 'Additionally, I'd always check whether you might need medication to help prevent malaria. 'It is important that antimalarials are started before you travel to a place where you might be at risk.'

Experts issue urgent warning over popular 'once-a-day' sunscreens
Reapplying suncream is a chore that most holidaygoers dread. So it's no surprise that many sunseekers opt for sunscreens marketed as 'once-a-day'. While these sunscreens tend to be more expensive than standard bottles, they claim to offer long-lasting protection. But do once-a-day sunscreens really last all day? According to experts from Which?, the answer is no. The consumer champion analysed four popular once-a-day sunscreens, and found a list of crucial caveats hidden in the small print on the back of the bottles. 'Sweating, swimming, towel drying or rubbing your skin on an abrasive surface can all impact protection levels and how the sunscreen lasts,' Which? explained. 'All of this means that you'll almost certainly need to apply more than just once a day, especially if you're out and about.' Do once-a-day sunscreens really last all day? According to experts from Which?, the answer is no (stock image) The first once-a-day sunscreen analysed by the researchers was the Boots Soltan Once Advanced 8 Hour Protect, which comes in both a lotion and a spray form 1. Boots Soltan Once Advanced 8 Hour Protect (£13 for 200ml) The first once-a-day sunscreen analysed by the researchers was the Boots Soltan Once Advanced 8 Hour Protect, which comes in both a lotion and a spray form. On the front of the bottle, Boots claims that 'one application allows for up to eight hours sun exposure'. However, there are several important caveats buried on the back of the bottle. 'Back of pack instructions say you need to apply the sun cream generously 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply after towel drying or "coming into contact with an abrasive surface",' Which? explained. What's more, at £13 for 200ml, this sunscreen is more than double the price of Boots Soltan Protect & Moisturise range. 2. Boots Soltan Kids Once Protect & Play / Protect & Swim (£13 for 200ml) Boots' Soltan Kids Once range comes in two versions - Protect & Play, and Protect & Swim - although both appear to offer the same level of protection. Boots' Soltan Kids Once range comes in two versions - Protect & Play, and Protect & Swim - although both appear to offer the same level of protection Calypso claims that its sunscreen offers 'all day long' protection after just one application. However, Which? looked on its website, and found conflicting advice Like the previous sunscreen, Boots claims that 'one application allows for up to eight hours' sun exposure. However, the advice in the small print is once again to apply 15 minutes before going out in the sun, apply generously, and reapply after towelling dry. 'We asked Boots what counts as an abrasive surface, and it said rubbing wet skin with a towel would count, but that sunbathing on an abrasive surface (such as a towel, the sand or a sunbed) would not,' Which? explained. 3. Calypso Once a Day (£10.99 for 200ml) Calypso claims that its sunscreen offers 'all day long' protection after just one application. However, Which? looked on its website, and found conflicting advice. 'On its website, it says you need to reapply after 40 minutes in the water, if you dry yourself with a towel or after "anything that involves rubbing your skin",' Which? said. 4. Calypso All School Day Long (£9.99 for 150ml) Finally, Which? analysed the Calypso All School Day Long sunscreen, which is said to provide 'long-lasting protection of up to eight hours' Finally, Which? analysed the Calypso All School Day Long sunscreen, which is said to provide 'long-lasting protection of up to eight hours.' In the small print, Calypso explains that its product should be applied evenly and generously to clean, dry skin 15 minutes sun exposure. It also reminds customers that once-a-day sunscreens can still be washed off if you spend a long time in the water or if you dry yourself with a towel, and that you may need to reapply. What do the doctors say? Speaking to Which? Professor Brian Diffey from the British Association of Dermatologists, advised regularly reapplying sunscreen - even if it promises all-day protection. 'We recommend against relying on any sunscreen product for long periods without reapplication, whether advertised as an extended wear product, or not,' he said. 'Nobody applies sunscreen perfectly uniformly to all exposed skin, and it's inevitable that we will miss patches of skin. 'They also frequently under-apply and don't use the "one teaspoon per body part" rule to ensure you use enough product. 'So, if you are only applying your sunscreen once a day, you are at risk of spending hours in the sun with little or no protection to those areas of skin that may have been missed or not had enough sun cream applied to them.'
