Has anyone ever purchased any product from them. I can see the same product on Amazon but its still a 3rd party seller.

Relevant because i went to boots on lunch and had a bit of a shock on the old scales (bf%). Alarm has now been set for cardio before work.

How did Boots measure your BF%? What do you plan on getting from BB.com?

Aren't they an American company? It will be quicker and cheaper to buy from UK equivalents you would have sought.

They are indeed , but they may have a UK drop ship type warehouse. I may just paypal the cash to my friend and he can order it using his prime account.

Edit to say , found it on ebay cheaper so i have gone there instead.

I've used them. The stuff is despatched in the UK and arrived promptly.

Problem is, you sometimes get a slightly different product, depending on what is being sold locally. I bought some 'multi-vitamins' (for want of a better term). They have about 70 ingredients - I'd used them before from a different source - but when they arrived they were packaged the same but only had 40 ingredients.

US customers were still getting the better product. I popped into Holland & Barratt who also sell that product (for 3x the price) and they too now had the 40-ingredient version. Clearly that's the UK supply now.

No problem i will use them in future for sure.

Bit of a backstory , i am happy with the old "mirror test" but life commitments/schedule haven't allowed 5 days a week training for a few years now.
I have recently changed to a new gym (hammer strength everything) that have real nice equipment so the weight training has been improved.I actually get sore now.

However a BF % of 29.x isnt where i want to be. I recently looked at a picture when i was 21% many years ago and obviously i have packed on some serious muscle since then ,so overall weight isn't a concern but i am willing to sacrifice muscle to get back to ~20% bf.
