Product information Optimum Nutrition ZMA 90 caps

ZMA (which is short for Zinc monomethionine aspartate and Magnesium Aspartate) is a bodybuilding dietary supplement used by athletes and bodybuilders . The formula was developed by Victor Conte (founder of BALCO Laboratories in Burlingame, California) and is a combination of zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6.

The ZMA formula has a "patent pending" status and the trademark "ZMA" by SNAC System Inc, has likewise been assigned by Victor Conte. The ZMA supplement is used in sports as a supplement that raises testosterone and IGF-1 levels, which can help muscle hypertrophy and its consequent increase in strength.

Zinc is a mineral present in more than 300 enzymes, many of which participate in metabolic processes and particularly in cell replication. Enzymes such as carbonic anhydrase and lactate dehydrogenase are often involved in exercise metabolism, while superoxide dismutase is a potent antioxidant that protects against free radical damage.

There are studies that show zinc deficiencies in certain athletes and this produces a decrease in immune activity.

On the other hand, magnesium is a micronutrient present as a cofactor in almost 300 metabolic reactions, some of the most important relate to glycolysis as well as the metabolism of fats and proteins. Magnesium also acts on the nervous system. There is scientific evidence between magnesium and cortisol levels (reduces catabolism)

The ratio of ingredients commonly used in ZMA is between 20-30 mg zinc and 400-500 mg magnesium with ~10 mg vitamin B6 .
