Magnesium within the body
Magnesium is a nutrient that the body needs to stay healthy!

VPA® Australia has a variety of different products that contain magnesium including Magnegel and ZMA6 Recovery, so what do these products do and why is magnesium so important?

Whilst Magnegel has around 500mg magnesium per 60g serve. For males the recommended intake is 410mg/day for 14-18 year old’s, 400mg/day for those between the age of 19-30 and 420mg/day for those over the age of 31.
