Zinc and Magnesium Capsules

ZMA (Zinc Magnesium Aspartate) is a supplement consisting of three ingredients: Zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6, all of which play important roles in metabolism (4) and other bodily functions. People who exercise regularly have been shown to have low levels of zinc and magnesium, and this may explain why ZMA is so popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts (10).

Zinc is an essential nutrient found throughout the body that supports the immune system (6) and contributes to metabolism (9). It helps to maintain normal testosterone levels in the blood (1), supports fertility and reproduction (2), and plays a role in protein synthesis, cell replication, growth and wound healing. Zinc is not stored well by the body, so it’s important to obtain it daily from food or supplements.

Magnesium is a mineral which supports numerous chemical reactions in the body, including energy creation, protein formation, muscle function (7) and bone health. It can also help to reduce tiredness and fatigue (3) and contribute to electrolyte balance (8). Like zinc, magnesium can be lost through sweat, which may be why many athletes have lower levels of both elements.
Vitamin B6 (or pyridoxine) is a water-soluble vitamin found in many foods, such as salmon, chickpeas, fortified cereals, bananas and dark leafy greens. Like zinc, it supports the function of the immune system (5), and is also essential for the metabolic conversion of food into energy (4). Vitamin B6 is one of the eight B vitamins, which also include Vitamin B12 (or cobalamin), another popular dietary supplement.

Simply take 1 ZMA® capsule with water every day. This should be with an empty stomach just before bedtime. For best results, avoid taking with dairy or other calcium-containing foods or supplements.
