Zinc Magnesium Aspartate (ZMA) is an increasingly popular supplement among athletes and bodybuilders. ZMA combines zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6. This combination can help strengthen strength, increase endurance, improve sleep and boost testosterone. Many ZMA supplements divide their dosage over 2 or 3 capsules, but our ZMA contains the full dose in just one capsule. It offers the same power and potency as the market standard, but is just a little easier to take.
ZMA contains:
- Zinc (30mg)
- Magnesium aspartate (450mg)
- Vitamin B6 (10.5mg)
All three ingredients play an important role in your body's functions, including the immune system, protein synthesis and cognitive functions. Zinc and magnesium deficiency can lead to lowered testosterone levels. Supplementation with these minerals can help you maintain normal testosterone levels. Vitamin B6 is essential for white blood cell production, while zinc contributes to wound healing. Magnesium can reduce inflammation.
Both vitamin B6 and magnesium are associated with mood. Research shows that people with low magnesium levels are at higher risk of depression. Low blood levels and low intake of vitamin B6 have also been linked to depressive symptoms. Supplementation with ZMA may therefore help improve mood and alleviate depression symptoms.
Does ZMA help with sleep?
Zinc and magnesium together can improve sleep quality. Magnesium activates the parasympathetic nervous system, making you feel calm and relaxed. Zinc has also been shown to be effective in improving sleep quality. One study showed that people with insomnia who took zinc, magnesium and melatonin slept better than those who took a placebo.
