What is the Myprotein Origin range?
Origin is a range of performance supplements from Myprotein for people who train regularly and want their nutrition to keep up. Each product page lists the active ingredients and their amounts per serving, so you know exactly what's in the scoop.
The range covers four areas:
- Pre-workout: six formulas, from high-caffeine to caffeine-free, including a dry scoop option
- Protein and mass gaining: Origin Protein with added creatine and Origin Mass Gainer
- Training fuel: Origin Intra-Workout and Origin Cream of Rice
- Daily support: Origin T-Perform capsules
You don't need to use everything. Pick the products that fit your training, whether that's one pre-workout or a full routine from your first set to your post-workout shake.

Which Origin pre-workout should I choose?
The biggest difference between the Origin pre-workouts is caffeine. Two have 300mg per serving, two have around 150mg and two are caffeine-free. Decide how much caffeine you want first, then compare the other ingredients.
Whichever you pick, the labels advise no more than 400mg of caffeine a day from all sources, so count your coffee and energy drinks too. Our guide to caffeine and exercise explains more, and if you're new to it all, start with what pre-workout is and when to take it.
Origin Pre-Workout
Origin Pre-Workout is the original high-caffeine formula, with 300mg of caffeine per 20g serving. It also has 6g of active L-citrulline, 3.5g of beta-alanine, 4g of L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate and 250mg of L-theanine.
It's for experienced pre-workout users rather than a gentle introduction.
Origin Jacked Pre-Workout
Origin Jacked matches Origin Pre-Workout's 300mg of caffeine but adds creatine. Each 26g serving has 3g of creatine (from creatine HCl), 6g of L-citrulline, 5g of beta-alanine, 4g of L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate, 1g of taurine and 250mg of Rhodiola rosea extract.
Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise, with the effect seen at 3g a day, which is what one serving provides. It's built for heavy sessions: heavy compounds, explosive lifts and repeated efforts.
Origin Pump Pre-Workout (stim-free)
Origin Pump Pre-Workout is the caffeine-free version of the original formula. Each 25g serving has 8g of L-citrulline malate, 4g of L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate, 3.5g of beta-alanine, 490mg of choline bitartrate and 250mg of L-tyrosine.
It's made for lifters who train late and don't want stimulants hanging around afterwards. It also comes in a Vimto® flavour.
Origin Jacked Pump Pre-Workout
Origin Jacked Pump is the caffeine-free partner to Jacked. Each 25g serving has 6g of L-citrulline, 5g of beta-alanine, 4g of L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate, 1g of beetroot extract, 600mg of L-tyrosine and 500mg of choline bitartrate.
It's built for pump-focused sessions and controlled reps, and with no caffeine it fits around early or late training.
Origin Pre-Workout Dry Scoop
Origin Pre-Workout Dry Scoop is the UK's first approved dry scoop formula, made with a fast-melt ingredient that dissolves on your tongue. A full serving is two 8g scoops, taken one at a time, with no water or shaker needed.
That serving has 147mg of caffeine, about half the amount in Origin Pre-Workout, plus 4g of L-citrulline malate, 2g of L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate, 1.8g of beta-alanine and 120mg of L-theanine. Only dry scoop a product made for it: mix other pre-workouts with water as their labels direct.
Origin Shred
Origin Shred comes in a smaller 11g serving with 150mg of caffeine, 2g of L-carnitine tartrate, 1g of acetyl-L-carnitine, 650mg of green tea extract and a vitamin and mineral blend. Its product page describes it as a metabolism and energy support drink.
It contains choline, which contributes to normal lipid metabolism, and vitamin B6, which contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Origin pre-workouts compared
- 300mg caffeine: Origin Pre-Workout, Origin Jacked
- Around 150mg caffeine: Origin Shred (150mg), Origin Pre-Workout Dry Scoop (147mg)
- Caffeine-free: Origin Pump, Origin Jacked Pump
- With creatine: Origin Jacked (3g)
- No water needed: Origin Pre-Workout Dry Scoop
Don't take two caffeinated Origin products on the same day. Jacked and Shred together come to 450mg of caffeine, over the 400mg daily limit on the labels.
Origin Protein vs Impact Whey: what's the difference?
Origin Protein is a whey and casein blend with creatine added. Each 47g serving has 30g of protein (24g from whey protein concentrate and 6g from micellar casein) and 5g of creatine, for 150kcal. Impact Whey Protein is whey protein concentrate on its own, with 22g of protein and 114kcal per 30g serving.
- Protein per serving: 30g (Origin Protein) vs 22g (Impact Whey)
- Protein source: whey concentrate and micellar casein vs whey concentrate
- Creatine: 5g vs none
- Serving size: 47g (about 1.5 scoops) vs 30g (one scoop)
- Calories: 150kcal vs 114kcal
Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass, and creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise when you have 3g a day. If you already take a creatine supplement, remember that a serving of Origin Protein has 5g in it.
Impact Whey comes in a much wider choice of flavours, while Origin Protein has a smaller line-up of dessert flavours such as Chocolate Chip Cookie and Cinnamon Swirl.
Origin Mass Gainer: what's in it?
Origin Mass Gainer is a high-calorie weight gainer with 1,000kcal, 50g of protein, 180g of carbohydrate and 5g of creatine monohydrate in each 274g serving. It also has an added vitamin and mineral blend.
It's a straightforward way to increase your daily energy intake when you're working towards gaining mass, taken after training or between meals. The big difference from Origin Protein is calories: 1,000kcal against 150kcal. If you want more protein without many extra calories, Origin Protein is the closer fit. Mass Gainer is for when you need more energy overall.
What else is in the Origin range?
Origin Intra-Workout
Origin Intra-Workout is a drink you sip during training. Each 60g serving has 30g of highly branched cyclic dextrin (a carbohydrate), 9g of essential amino acids, 5g of D-ribose, 4g of L-citrulline malate, and sodium, potassium and magnesium. Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Origin Cream of Rice
Origin Cream of Rice is a white rice flour you cook like porridge. Each 52g serving has 44g of carbohydrate and it's low in fat and sugar-free, which makes it an easy breakfast or pre-training meal. Add flavour with FlavDrops or a scoop of Impact Whey Protein.
Origin T-Perform
Origin T-Perform is a two-capsule daily supplement with 10mg of zinc, 150mg of magnesium, 20 micrograms of vitamin D3 and 3.5mg of vitamin B6. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood, vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function, and magnesium and vitamin B6 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
It also contains Testofen® fenugreek seed extract, KSM-66® ashwagandha, tribulus terrestris, maca, AstraGin® and BioPerine®. For more on the topic, read can you boost testosterone naturally?
How to use the Origin range together
You don't need every product. Most people choose one pre-workout, then add protein or a gainer depending on their goal. Here's where each product fits in a training day:
- Before training: one Origin pre-workout, about 30 minutes before you start
- During training: Origin Intra-Workout, sipped through the session
- After training or between meals: Origin Protein, or Origin Mass Gainer if you need extra calories
- At breakfast: Origin Cream of Rice
Origin Jacked, Origin Protein and Origin Mass Gainer all contain creatine, so check how much you're getting across everything you take. The Origin Bundle puts Origin Pre-Workout (or the stim-free version), Origin Protein and a shaker together.
