Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Myprotein’s popular pre-workout supplement powder has cited benefits that range from reducing fatigue and supporting the immune system to protecting cells from oxidative stress and increasing oxygen transport.

“Most pre-workout supplements are filled to the brim with caffeine to help get you in gear for your workout. But not this one,” our tester said. Named the pump after the sought-after “muscle pump” that fitness fanatics strive for, the formula is caffeine-free.

“It’s ideal for those who prefer to workout in the evening, and don’t want to be overstimulated before bed – or those who simply don’t like that jittering feeling caffeine so often comes hand-in-hand with,” they continued.

Filled with vitamin C, taurine, VASO and beta-alanine, the 320g pot includes 20 servings. “There’s two different flavours; orange mango and rainbow candy. The orange and mango flavour is quite sharp and strong – so do add a little more water if you need – otherwise, it’s surprisingly delicious and refreshing.” Securing four out of five stars, it’s a must-have for anyone who regularly exercises. Now’s the time to invest as you can currently save £14.50.
