Short Description:
ZMA is a natural testosterone booster based on assimilable zinc L-monomethionine, magnesium aspartate and vitamin B 6. ZMA increases the values of anabolic hormones, especially Testosterone and IGF-1.
The male sex hormone testosterone is one of the most important hormones used in body building. A high level of testosterone is associated with an improvement in regeneration, reduction of fat, and with increased sexual desire, drive, stamina and strength, all of which can be easily achieved with ZMA.
What can I expect from ZMA?
ZMA is a complex of elements, acting as a substance regulator in the body. ZMA contains no significant amounts of protein, carbohydrate, or other construction substrates (creatine, free amino acids, etc.), so the overall effects depend on your eating habits and the use of additional supplements.
If you have a strong deficit of zinc and/or magnesium, ZMA will be extremely effective. If your supplies of zinc and magnesium are above average, you probably wont benefit from supplementing with ZMA and thus should choose other testosterone boosters. As a rule, ZMA has excellent results in the first few days and diminishes with increasing saturation.
Muscle growth is possible only with an adequate and constant supply of amino acids. So stock up with fast proteins (especially in the morning and before and/or after training) and slow proteins and with further supplements to support ZMA and avoid muscle degradation.
Function and Impact:
Contrary to conventional zinc-magnesium supplements, ZMA is a supplement with the best assimilability (usability) of zinc and magnesium. These two elements are responsible for the anabolic processes of the utmost importance. Athletes almost always have a shortage of zinc and magnesium, so supplementation with ZMA may be surprisingly effective.
The optimal absorption (bioavailability) of zinc and magnesium depends on the isolation of amino acid methionine, aspartic acid. In the commercially available ZMA products with 16% magnesium in magnesium aspartate this connection is not fully completed, which is why the most effective ZMA supplements contain 8% of magnesium. This form must be taken in double portions to ensure full effectiveness and optimal results.
Magnesium and zinc activate well over 300 enzymes (biocatalysts), are essential for many bodily functions and improve the secretion of free testosterone and IGF-1, which is closely related to growth hormone HGH. Both of these anabolic hormones are especially important for athletes, for their significant impact on muscle building, fat reduction, strength, stamina and sex drive. Supplementation with ZMA is very useful and contributes to greater efficiency and comfort.
