What supplements should I be taking?
VPA® Australia sells a wide range of supplements. The one you will require depends on your fitness goals. For instance, if you want to lose weight, you can use VPA® Australia fat burners. On the other hand, use our muscle gainers if you need to gain muscle mass and bulk up.
Here is a breakdown of the best supplements you can use based on your goals for the 8-week fitness challenge.

WPC or whey protein concentrate is one of the two main types of protein found in cow's milk. It is produced by separating and removing fat and casein from milk, resulting in a protein that contains 80% protein.

WPC is generally more affordable than WPI and is most commonly used by athletes who bulk up. In addition, it has a lower cost because it's less concentrated with protein than WPI, making it cheaper to produce.

How will taking supplements benefit me in this challenge?
Supplements help you reach your goals faster. It's that simple.
When you're trying to lose weight, exercise is key. But if you don't get enough protein, carbs, and other nutrients in your diet, you're not going to be able to work out as hard as you need to burn fat.
Supplements can be a great way to make sure your body has all the energy and nutrients it needs when you're trying to lose weight.
The same goes for trying to gain weight and muscles- you need exercise and supplements. Muscle-building supplements are nutritional products that provide the body with essential nutrients to help you increase muscle mass faster and gain strength. Building muscles is a process that requires a lot of commitment, patience, and hard work. If you want to gain muscles fast, you need to eat clean, train hard, and take your supplements regularly.
This 8-week challenge is a great way to kickstart your journey to your fitness goals! The supplements mentioned will definitely help you get the results you want faster!
