ZINC / MAGNESIUM / VITAMIN B6 ZMA™ is a supplement based on Zinc Monomethionine, Magnesium, and Vitamin B6, dosed according to the original American formula. ZMA™ is an all-natural, clinically tested product that significantly increases hormone levels thanks to the presence of vitamin B6 and zinc.
These substances, being essential nutrients for our body and performing important biological functions in cases of deficiency or increased daily needs, must be appropriately supplemented to promote their biochemical balance.
The ZMA™ supplement, developed from studies conducted by researchers Brilla and Conte of Western Washington University in California, was the most widely used by American Olympians in the recent Olympics. Research has shown that Zinc Monomethionine is the most absorbed and bioavailable form for the body.
In muscle-building sports, zinc, in addition to its involvement in plastic function as a constituent of muscles and bones, is an enzymatic cofactor in numerous biochemical processes, such as acid-base balance, which is often altered by the production of lactic acid during anaerobic metabolism, and participates in redox reactions aimed at neutralizing free radicals formed during both aerobic and non-aerobic processes. Furthermore, it helps maintain normal testosterone levels in the blood and supports the body's natural defenses.
Magnesium also plays a fundamental role during physical exercise, as it is an enzymatic cofactor, involved in the transmission of electrical neuronal impulses for a physiological contraction/relaxation rhythm of muscle fibers, and promotes the electrolyte balance of body fluids and all cellular compartments, for the correct execution of biochemical reactions.
Completing the formula is vitamin B6, which contributes to hormonal regulation and energy metabolism to combat tiredness and fatigue and support the immune system.
