MyProtein Alternatives in Ireland

Start with the awkward bit: MyProtein is good value. This site has said so in its supplements guide for a long time, and having partner codes with two Irish shops does not change the arithmetic. On a sale week, MyProtein's price per kilo is hard to beat and anyone switching purely to save money will be disappointed.

So the honest question is not “what is cheaper”. It is what is actually annoying you about ordering from a UK warehouse.

Reasons People Look for an Alternative

• Delivery time. A UK-fulfilled order takes longer than one leaving an Irish warehouse, and sale weeks are exactly when the backlog is worst.
• Returns. Sending something back across the water is enough hassle that most people just keep the flavour they hate.
• Buying Irish. A perfectly good reason on its own, and one you do not need to justify on a spreadsheet.
• Flavour fatigue. Different shops stock different brands. Sometimes that is the whole reason.

What I Actually Buy: MyCore, Cork

I have been ordering from MyCore Supplements since I started training properly. The partnership came years after that, and I still take no commission on anything you buy. So this part is not a listing, it is what is in my own order history.

Three things make them the answer for most people leaving MyProtein:

• They are Irish, not Irish-ish. Bishopstown, Cork. Irish registered company 599724. Orders leave Cork and land next working day, and if something is wrong you are dealing with a Cork shop rather than a returns portal in another country.
• The range is wider than MyProtein's own. Whey, isolate, clear, casein, plant and beef protein; creatine in five formats; pre-workout, EAAs, electrolytes, vitamins; and the gym equipment side too, barbells through to massage guns. They stock Optimum Nutrition, Dymatize, Ghost, Trained By JP, Alpha Lion, Redcon1 — and MyProtein. You can buy the same tub from an Irish shop.
• The 10% never switches off. This is the part people miss. MyProtein's price depends on catching a sale week; NNF10 works whenever you order, permanently, on full-price stock. No countdown, no waiting for a promo email.

The Other Code: HardCore Supplements

Also 10% with NNF10, also no commission. Ships from an Irish warehouse, free shipping over €100. I buy from them too — every brand in the shop here is one I use myself, which is how the partnerships came about in the first place. Nobody paid to be listed.

Worth knowing on both: the free-delivery threshold is worked out after the code comes off, so a basket sitting just above the line can drop back under it once the 10% is applied.

Irish Options We Have No Arrangement With

Listing only the shops that pay us attention would make this page useless, so: Kinetica is an Irish brand with good retail availability through Boots, Tesco and independent sports shops, and it batch-tests. Irish pharmacies are fine for vitamin D and magnesium and not worth importing. Neither is a partner, neither gives you a code, and both are still legitimate answers.

When MyProtein Still Wins

Being straight about it: on a heavily discounted sale week, MyProtein's price per kilo is hard to beat, and if cost is your only lever you should buy then. Their Informed Sport range is broad if you are drug-tested.

The trade is that you are buying on their schedule. A permanent 10% from a Cork shop that ships next day is worth more than a bigger discount you have to wait for — and if the MyProtein tub is what you want, MyCore stock it anyway.

Either way, the thing that actually moves your results is hitting your protein target at all, which the macro calculator gives you in about thirty seconds.
