Boxed Off Supplements

Supplements are often confusing. Aimed at gym-goers or those in-the-know, many brands are a minefield for the novice or newcomer, and selecting the right supplements can be more than a little daunting. An antidote to the overly cheap or excessively expensive supplements on the market, Boxed Off is the affordable and simple solution. The UK-born brand is sustainable, with biodegradable packaging, and the supplements boast plant-based ingredients that are familiar and effective. We recommend their Strong as an ox Muscle Box priced at £60. Designed to help you build and sustain muscle, this is the perfect add-on to any fitness programme. Vegan protein and BCAAs (branched chain amino acids) help your muscles repair and grow, as well as alleviating muscle soreness. Algae Oil supports joint and bone health, while ZMA aids sleep which is crucial for recovery between workouts.

Your training plan is marked by sweat, and a lot of it, and the last thing you need to worry about is a soaking, stale top. The Pivot Tech Tee is lightweight, odour resistant, quick-drying, and made from eco-friendly recycled fibres. Take it to the gym, out on the streets, or into nature.
