I think they were confiscated by Customs, I didn't receive them.
I was in Cape Town last September and had a box and they were so helpful after my hernia surgery.
Thank you for contacting me.

Product Overview
Bioplus Vit-ality Magnesium Plus is an effervescent health supplement designed to combat fatigue and support muscle health. Formulated by Adcock Ingram, this "fizzies" range is tailored for individuals with high physical or mental demands, such as athletes or those with high-pressure careers. It combines a high dose of magnesium with specific vitamins and amino acids to enhance endurance, prevent muscle cramping, and provide sustainable energy release throughout the day.
What the Product Is Used For
- Fatigue & Exhaustion: Helps reduce tiredness and supports mental vitality.
- Muscle Function: Assists in preventing muscle cramps and spasms.
- Endurance: Designed to optimize physical performance during exercise or long workdays.
- Muscle Repair: Includes L-Glutamine to aid in tissue recovery after physical stress.
- Nervous System Support: Contributes to normal neurotransmission and emotional balance.
Key Benefits
- Comprehensive Formula: Unlike standard magnesium-only tabs, this includes B-vitamins, Vitamin C, and Calcium for a multi-faceted approach to energy.
- Fast-Absorbing: The effervescent format ensures rapid dissolution and absorption by the body.
- Sugar-Free & Alcohol-Free: Suitable for a wide variety of dietary preferences and health-conscious users.
- Mental Alertness: Provides a "revitalizing" effect without the heavy jitters often associated with high-caffeine boosters.

Each effervescent tablet contains:
- Magnesium Sulphate (875 mg): Provides elemental magnesium for muscle and nerve health.
- Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid - 150 mg): Supports the immune system and reduces fatigue.
- Calcium Carbonate (200 mg): Contributes to normal muscle function and bone maintenance.
- Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin - 15 μg): Vital for energy metabolism and red blood cell formation.
- Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol - 200 IU): Supports immune function and calcium absorption.

Warnings / Safety Information
- Unregistered Medicine: This product has not been evaluated by SAHPRA for quality or safety; it is intended to supplement the diet.
- Kidney Impairment: Use with caution if you have renal issues, as excess magnesium is cleared through the kidneys.
- Chronic Medication: Consult a healthcare provider if you are taking heart medication, diuretics, or antibiotics (magnesium can interfere with the absorption of certain antibiotics).
- Diabetes: While sugar-free, it is always advised for diabetic patients to monitor blood glucose levels when starting new supplements.
- Hypersensitivity: Do not use if you are allergic to any of the listed ingredients.
Storage Instructions
Store at or below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use to protect the tablets from moisture (which causes them to fizz prematurely). Keep out of reach of children.
