ZMA Supplements

ZMA is a zinc magnesium aspartate based supplement popular with athletes, bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts.

It contains a combination of three ingredients - zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6 that synergistically increase muscle growth and strength, and improve endurance, recovery and sleep quality.

What is ZMA?

ZMA is a popular supplement that typically contains the following:

• Zinc Monomethionine: 30 mg - 270 of the Reference Daily Intake (RDI)
• Magnesium Aspartate: 450 mg - 110 RDI
• Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine): 10-11 mg - 650 RDI

However, some manufacturers produce ZMA supplements with alternative forms of zinc and magnesium or with other added vitamins or minerals.

These nutrients play several key roles in your body :

Zinc. This trace mineral is needed for more than 300 enzymes involved in metabolism, digestion, immunity and other areas of your health.

Magnesium. This mineral supports hundreds of chemical reactions in your body, including energy creation and muscle and nerve function.

Vitamin B6. This water-soluble vitamin is necessary for processes such as neurotransmitter production and nutrient metabolism.
