What is ZMA?
ZMA is a combination of the minerals zinc and magnesium with vitamin B6.
It is used to increase the hormone testosterone and promote better quality sleep.
Zinc is the “ingredient” with the greatest impact on the main objective of this supplement, increasing testosterone.
It is effective in increasing testosterone levels in people with deficient levels of this mineral, however, it is unlikely to have any influence on people within healthy levels.
Magnesium is the other mineral present in this form and is the second most present mineral in the human body.
Helps regulate muscle contractions and improves sleep quality.
As for vitamin B6, it participates in the synthesis of the main neurotransmitters, helping to recover the CNS (Central Nervous System) from intense training.
ZMA should be taken before bed, preferably on an empty stomach.
It is important not to take it with any source of calcium as this reduces the effectiveness of ZMA.
Main expected results from ZMA:
- Increased testosterone (in case of zinc deficiency).
- Better quality of sleep.
