NOW ZMA

For proper cellular function, protein synthesis & tissue formation. Helps metabolize proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Market Positioning: ZMA is a trademarked and patent pending ingredient that combines Zinc, Vitamin B6 and Magnesium. These mineral chelates with added B6 are a synergistic combination designed to maximize absorption and promote recovery from exercise.Product

Zinc plays a central role in the regulation of cellular growth and tissue repair, as well as the maintenance of a healthy immune system. Magnesium is essential for the maintenance of electrolyte balance, energy production and normal neuromuscular function. Because physical activity can increase the need for these two minerals, ZMA is engineered to aid in their replenishment. Additional vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) provides synergistic benefits for athletes, as it is required for amino acid metabolism and is also involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. In the body, pyridoxine is converted to coenzymes pyridoxal phosphate and pyridoxamine phosphate, in a wide variety of metabolic reactions. These reactions include transamination of amino acids, conversion of tryptophan to niacin, synthesis of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the central nervous system, metabolism of serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine, metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acidsand phospholipids, and the synthesis of the heme component of hemoglobin.
