AUSTRALIAN protein provider VPA has signed with Melbourne to be the club’s new official Protein Partner.

This is VPA’s first partnership with an AFL club after established relationships with Super Rugby and NBL teams.

Melbourne Football Club dietitian, Rebekah Alcock, said the use of VPA products will greatly benefit the team, “For professional athletes, protein is an essential part of muscle maintenance and recovery.”

“VPA’s range of product will complement our overall nutrition plans for the players and give them the best chance to recover faster and prepare better for the riggers of AFL football,” said Alcock.

VPA Head of Marketing, JP Toledo, is excited for the Melbourne Football Club partnership and to enter into the AFL space, “Melbourne is a proud club built on strong values and work ethic which synergises with our culture at VPA.”

“VPA Australia is at the cutting edge of sports and performance supplement development and we look forward to helping players achieve the strongest and most agile bodies that they can.”

“By sourcing the highest quality ingredients supported by literature-based research, VPA produces products for the health and fitness market that are both WADA and ASADA compliant,” said Toledo.

Established in Brisbane in 2009, VPA has a commitment to only sell 100% pure products without ‘proprietary blends’ or ‘secret formulas’ and it’s this commitment to product that now sees them process of 25,000kg of product per month.
