ZMA supplement

ZMA is a supplement commonly taken by bodybuilders and weight lifters.  Victor Conte developed this sports supplement which is a combination of Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B6.  ZMA is claimed to raise strength levels but scientific studies don’t eactly suggest this to be true.

When we exercise we lose vitamins and minerals, although we often drink water when training it is important to drink fruit juice and sports drinks as they replenish water soluble nutrients.  ZMA supplement is important for this reason as it makes sure we are getting the right essential vitamins also studies show that 50% of Americans don’t get enough magnesium.

The proportion of ingredients in ZMA supplement tends to be 20-30mg Zinc, 400-500 magnesium and 10mg B6.  ZMA should be taken before bed on an empty stomach and certainly not with cheese or milk as Calcium blocks the absorption of zinc.
