New gut powder hailed for 'helping with bloating' and 'taking away cravings'
The Hembrow sisters - Tammy, Emilee and Amy - have gained worldwide recognition for their influence in fitness, wellness and parenting circles, and understand firsthand the desire for supplements suited to their way of life. The trio have now introduced Selfish - a female-focused sports nutrition brand - to Boots stores across the UK.
The brand is characterised as contemporary sports nutrition crafted for genuine women and authentic routines. It has debuted with seven specially formulated products addressing the complete range of women's daily health requirements.
Tammy, recognised as one of the globe's premier fitness influencers, explains: "Fitness isn't just about hitting PB's or dropping dress sizes. It's about showing up for you."
As reported by the Mirror, the Selfish Supps range features numerous products engineered to assist with the aspirations and obstacles encountered by countless women. For instance, there's the Give Me Plant Protein priced at £24.65, marketed as a silky and rich vegan protein powder containing 20g of lean plant protein per portion.
Also available in French Vanilla and Rich Chocolate flavours, it's designed to assist women with strength, toning, and post-workout recovery. For optimal results, users simply need to blend or shake one scoop into 250ml of water and consume after exercise, or whenever a protein boost is required.
Balance My Gut is another option from the Selfish range that's a refreshing blue-greens gut health powder intended to help reduce bloating, aid digestion and support the gut microbiome. Available in Blueberry Bliss flavour, the 240g tub provides up to 30 servings and aims to bolster overall health and immunity, offering a non-gritty micro blue and phyto-greens powder.
The light and fast-absorbing vegan Give Me Protein Water is also on offer and delivers a hydrating dose of hydrolysed plant protein for strength, toning and recovery. Available in VeryBerry and Tropical Crush flavours, the 300g tub provides 15 servings.
This product is touted to support muscle tone, strength and repair, and meet daily protein targets. It provides a complete amino acid profile, offering lean hydrolysed plant protein, and a non-gritty, fast-absorbing formula.
I Want Energy is the go-to for a juicy pre-workout boost, packed with BCAAs to enhance performance, stamina and focus without the dreaded crash. It's available in a tantalising watermelon flavour, provides up to 30 servings, and promises sustained endurance, heightened alertness and focus, all thanks to its clean and effective ingredients.
For those on the hunt for alternative brands, there's no shortage of options. Take the Impact Whey Protein Powder from My Protein, priced at £13.99, which comes in various flavours and packs 23g of protein per scoop.
There's also the Wellwoman Vitabiotics Wellwoman 50+ 30 Tablets from Holland and Barrett, retailing at £10.49. These could be the perfect fit, especially for vegetarians looking to support their brain, heart and eyes.
The Selfish brand has garnered rave reviews, boasting a stellar 4.9 out of 5-star rating on their website. A satisfied customer shared: "I have tried so many gut powders and they all taste so gross. I have been taking this for the last week and obsessed with the flavour. It's also really helped with my bloating! Love it."
Another happy user commented: "As someone who has tried a lot of vegan and plant proteins out there, this is by far the best. Both the vanilla and chocolate taste amazing in smoothies or just with water and ice. No chalky texture at all. I have it every day."
Yet, not all feedback was glowing, as one individual noted: "One scoop is a bit too selfish. It needs a couple for it to really make a difference in taste."
Someone else wrote: "I've had this for just over a week, and I've been sipping it straight after lunch when i need that sweet hit. I find that it fills me up and takes away the craving. Also, it's completely delicious."
For women seeking to maximise their hectic, energetic lifestyles, Selfish's collection of supplements crafted exclusively for women might prove to be the ideal solution.

Boots shoppers 'can't believe how good No7 cream' is and it's only £10
The No7 product is currently available for £10 as part of Boots' weekly sale Boots customers have been praising a beauty product that helps to "transform" tired and dull skin into something silky and noticeably moisturised. Users say they've received compliments on their complexion, and currently, their 'secret weapon' costs just £10. Usually priced at £17.95, the No7 HydraLuminous+ Day Gel arrives in a 50ml jar and is reduced for the weekly £10 Tuesday offer. Boots claims the gel delivers "72 hours of deep hydration" and seeks to make "skin look bouncier, plumper and more radiant in one week". The health and beauty chain wrote online that the gel features a "powerhouse complex" of ingredients, including hyaluronic acid. Despite providing these intensive results, Boots and No7 maintain that the gel is suitable for those with delicate skin types. On the Boots website, it explained: " HydraLuminous+ Day Gel instantly floods the skin with moisture for intense hydration and a healthy-looking glow, leaving you with refreshed and re-energised skin. This ultra-lightweight gel-cream melts into the skin to leave it feeling smoother in just one application." People can get alternative day creams elsewhere, such as the L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler Renew Anti Ageing Cream from Superdrug (50ml, £14.99 - down from £29.99). Also, there is the CeraVe Moisturising Cream (for Face & Body) that includes hyaluronic acid on sale for £12.79 on Amazon, reports the Mirror. However, plenty of Boots customers have been "using [the No7 product] religiously" and are witnessing the results. One said: "Lovely product makes my skin feel very soft. Absorbs really well." Another wrote: "This is one of my favourite day creams I have bought, it dries so quickly and make my skin look so healthy and glowy. My skin is usually quite dry and dull but this cream really transforms it, I love it!". A third commented: "After years of trying lots of creams for my dry skin, I randomly picked this up in Boots and it is the best thing I ever did! My skin has never looked better. It gives a lovely dewy (non greasy) glow to my face and everything looks and feels so much smoother." Some customers criticised it, including one who said: "It's a watery, sticky gel that makes my skin dry, sticky, and crepe. I have continued using it to give it the benefit of the doubt, but now I'm getting superficial spots." Another added: "I am usually a fan of No 7 Products but I am really disappointed with this product. I had high hopes for it but it left my skin feeling sticky, tacky, not a pleasant experience." Yet, the majority of feedback was positive and awarded five-star ratings. Someone who loved the gel said: "When I finally tried it out I was amazed by the instant results. My skin was dull and dry, and this made it look smoother and visibly hydrated. It looks so much healthier and less wrinkled, as it softens the lines around my eyes." Furthermore, one more customer shared with Boots shoppers: "Having just finished chemotherapy, my skin was ruined (I'd suffered really badly from 'chemo acne' and skin dryness). Since using this product, so many people have commented on how well I look and how good my skin looks (despite still undergoing some tough cancer treatment)." Many recommended pairing the HydraLuminous+ Day Gel with the matching Night Gel, which is also included in the £10 Tuesday offer. Ordinarily, purchasing both items would set customers back nearly £40, but this deal reduces the pair to just £20. Shoppers interested in the full range can see other items in the HydraLuminous+ collection online. At the time of writing, shoppers can take advantage of a 3 for 2 deal on selected No7 items - including certain HydraLuminous+ products. The £10 Tuesday deal ends when the clock hits midnight on August 12. Items can be ordered to be collected in store or delivered to your home.

Boots' 'magic' £10 No7 serum shoppers say makes under eyes 'look tighter'
Shoppers have dubbed the serum "amazing" and praised the "instant" results on fine lines and under eyes Boots shoppers are heaping praise on an "amazing" serum they say makes under-eyes 'look tighter.' The product is currently on offer as part of the retailer's weekly £10 Tuesday deal, which sees prices dropped on select products for one day only. The No7 Youthful Eye Serum 15ml from Boots is now £10, down from its original price of £19.95. The serum targets "key signs of ageing" and aims to give "younger looking eyes in four weeks." The full Boots product description reads: "The advanced formula with a blend of Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C and soft focus spheres instantly smooths, revitalises, revitalises and brightens to give the skin around the eyes a youthful radiance. In addition, an effective fusion of Vitamin A, Cassava and anti-ageing Peptides work day by day to visibly reduce wrinkles including crows feet, improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness." Alternatively, shoppers can snap up the BYOMA De-Puff and Brighten Eye Gel 20ML from Space NK for £13, or the L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler Eye Serum 20ml from Superdrug for £15.99. Elsewhere, Medik8 has the C-Tetra Eye Lipid Vitamin C Radiance Serum for £24. The No7 serum has racked up rave reviews online, earning an overall rating of 4.4 stars. Among the hundreds of reviews, one person said: "Magic cream. This was a lovely cream that had INSTANT results. It smoothed fine lines out." A second wrote: "Amazing. I've been using this eye serum for many years. It's the only product I've found that keeps the skin around my eyes well hydrated. Wouldn't be without it." A third shopper added: "Like most people, I'm a little bit sceptical when it comes to using new products that claim to make differences to the appearance of your skin. However, with this product I have noticed an improvement in the fine lines around my eyes. My skin certainly seems smoother and fine lines seem less obvious. The skin around my eyes seems brighter and more hydrated. I would definitely recommend this product and I will certainly be stocking up." However, some shoppers mentioned issues they'd found with the product and shared their thoughts. One wrote: "I've been using it twice daily for several weeks now and really do not see any difference, other than it does a good job of moisturising." A different person said: "I have a couple of fine lines under my eyes and this product did nothing for them, however the product is easy to apply, sinks in well unlike others I've tried and didn't cause any allergic reaction to my very sensitive skin and eyes." Despite this, many others continued to praise the serum. One happy shopper said: "Being a first time mom and having less sleeping time made my under eyes so bad. This is by far one of the best eye serums I have tried. It made my under eye skin looks tighter just overnight. It's like a miracle serum. Highly recommended!" Another added: "I use this with the Lift and Illuminate eye cream and it works by keeping my skin smooth and line-free."

Hot sleepers swear by this ‘incredibly soft' and breathable bamboo bedding for better rest
This temperature-controlling bedding set has hundreds of near-perfect reviews from shoppers who say it's a godsend on hot nights We conducted a Mirror sleep survey with DFS and the results showed two main things: Brits aren't getting enough sleep, and heat is one of the main factors for disturbed rest. We polled 2,000 people and found out that the average respondent has spent over £250 chasing a better night's rest. So, if there was a bedding set for well under half that amount that could make hot nights a little cooler, would you be interested? Panda's 100% Bamboo Bedding Set promises to do just that with some very clever fabric tech. Usually priced at £110 for the complete set, you can shop it for under £100 this week – ideal timing for the hot weather. Made from 100% organically grown bamboo, the fabric feels super soft against the skin and is naturally breathable, moisture-wicking and thermoregulating, making it a good option for this week's heatwave. It's also hypoallergenic, antibacterial and odour-resistant, so it stays fresher for longer. The bamboo is grown without pesticides in sustainably managed forests, so it's a considered choice for your home as well as the planet. Each set includes a duvet cover, fitted sheet and two pillowcases (one with a single set), available in four shades – blush pink, white, grey or blue – to suit your bedroom style. Our head of shopping has a Panda Bamboo Bedding Set of her own and swears by it for sleep. Other buyers on Panda's website seem to agree... One happy shopper pens: "This is the second set I've ordered as my husband's a chronic over-heater so breathable sheets are a must. The only downside is the set is too big despite multiple washes." Another writes: "Living on a boat means that we need bedding that can cope with humidity and that is breathable. All of our bedding comes from Panda, including the duvet, pillows and bedding sets and they've been absolutely brilliant for boat life being naturally anti-mould, breathable and also warm and soft to the touch. They're also machine washable and dry very quickly which is ideal." "This bamboo bedding is genuinely brilliant. In between silk and cotton but my skin feels better and it is a beautiful set. No complaints," a third says, while a fourth chimes in with: "The fabric is incredibly soft and cool. My only criticism is that the button holes are a bit small and it takes forever to do the buttons up or undo them." The few complaints about the bedding mostly centre around the fabric being a little slippery for those who toss and turn in the night (it could slide off one side of the bed) and the button holes being a little small at first. However, few seem to be able to knock the fabric for its cooling abilities. If you can't splash out the £99 on the set, there are other options to consider. Marks and Spencer, for example, has a whole range of temperature control bedding, with the Comfortably Cool Lyocell Rich Duvet Cover, from £39.50, being a stand-out. Dunelm's Fogarty Cooling Cotton Fitted Sheet, from £16, comes in plenty of colour choices and promises to keep night time sweats at bay.
