As one of the UK’s leading VOX pop creators, Luke Vernon spends his days out on the streets – filming, interviewing and staying on his feet, which is why Holland & Barrett are sponsoring Luke’s legs as part of our Back Your Body campaign.
Here, we uncover the essentials he relies on to keep himself moving, energised and ready for whatever the day throws at him.
Introducing Luke’s supplement stack
A ‘stack’ is a personalised approach to supplements, built around your lifestyle and what your body needs most. For Luke (and his legs), that means supporting energy, performance and recovery while staying aligned with his vegan diet.
Here’s what he reaches for to keep himself going throughout a busy day.
“There are so many vegan protein powders out there now, but this is one of my favourites,” says Luke. “It delivers 24g of plant-based protein from pea and fava bean, tastes pretty decent and helps support the muscle growth I’m always working towards.”
Creatine monohydrate for strength
Creatine monohydrate is one of the most widely researched supplements in sports nutrition and a staple in many training routines. “I swear by a scoop of creatine mixed into my drink before a long day of filming or training,” says Luke. “It helps me push that bit harder – whether I’m on my feet all day or in the gym – and I really notice the difference when I don’t take it.”
Electrolytes for daily hydration

“When I’ve got a long day of filming and I’m out on the streets, I’ll be honest – I don’t always drink as much water as I should,” says Luke.
“You’re constantly on the move, chatting to people and thinking about the next bit of content, so it’s easy to forget. These Vimto bad boys are a really simple way for me to stay on top of my hydration throughout the day. They taste pretty decent too, and it’s definitely better than me hitting the fizzy drinks.”
Vegan omega-3 capsules
These vegan omega-3 capsules are made from marine algae rather than fish, providing a plant-based source of DHA to support brain and heart health.
“Omega-3 is one of those all-rounders I try to stay consistent with,” says Luke. “I’m always on the go, so anything that helps me stay sharp and feel like I’m looking after myself is a win.
“Being vegan, it’s great to have an option like this that still gives me the benefits I’m after, without having to compromise.”
Supporting your body consistently starts with strong foundations. This 4-in-1 formula combines calcium, magnesium, zinc and vitamin D to support bones, muscles and immune health – making it an easy way to cover the everyday essentials in one simple step.
“This multitasking little number works nearly as hard as I do,” says Luke. “I like knowing I’m covering a few bases at once, and it’s way easier to stay consistent than taking four different supplements separately.”
“Not gonna lie, these basically taste like sweets, which makes it really easy to remember to take one a day – so no complaints here,” says Luke.
Packed with key vitamins including A, D, E, B6, B12, folic acid, biotin and iodine, these strawberry-flavoured gummies are designed to support your immune system, as well as your skin, hair and nails – making daily essentials easy to stay on top of.
The final say
Luke’s routine is built around being on the move – long days on his feet, thinking on the spot and showing up wherever the moment takes him. Supporting that kind of lifestyle isn’t about overcomplicating things, it’s about keeping the basics covered and finding simple ways to stay energised, focused and consistent.
Because when your day doesn’t stand still, neither should your routine.
