| ZMA
ZMA™ is a synergistic combination of zinc, magnesium and vitamin
B6, specifically designed to enhance muscle strength, endurance, and recovery
from exercise. Taken before bedtime, ZMA™ promotes deeper, more
restful sleep, which is when maximum healing, and muscle growth takes place.
ZMA™
consists of a unique covalently-bound complex of zinc, magnesium and aspartic
acid, which enables the magnesium and zinc to reach the bloodstream at
the same time so that the desired synergistic effect can be obtained.
ZMA™ Promotes Restful, Restorative Sleep
ZMA™ has been developed to improve sleep efficiency. ZMA™
is reported to effectively enhance sleep and is recommended to be taken
30-60 minutes before bedtime. Healing, anabolic hormone production and
muscle growth are maximized during sleep, so quality sleep is extremely
important to all of us.

Clinically Proven Effectiveness for Strength
Training
ZMA™ has been used by dozens of world-class Olympic and professional
athletes and bodybuilders, including members of the Super Bowl Champion
Denver Broncos and Miami Dolphins football teams. It is also the only non-steroidal,
all-natural zinc and magnesium supplement clinically-proven to increase
insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) and strength training in athletes. In
a recent double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted with NCAA college
football players, researchers at Western Washington University found that
eight weeks of nightly supplementation with ZMA™:
Details
Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B6. ZMA is a unique patent-pending
anabolic mineral support formula containing highly bioavailable forms of
zinc and magnesium as zinc/-monomethionine (L-OptiZinc) and covalently-bound
zinc/magnesium aspartate. Formulated with Vitamin B6 to further enhance
zinc and magnesium absorption and utilization, ZMA is a powerful
non-steroidal, all-natural dietary supplement clinically proven to increase
free testosterone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) levels and enhance
muscle strength significantly greater than placebo during a strength training
program. (These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug

Directions
Recommended Use: Men take 3 (women take 2) capsules daily, preferably
on an empty stomach 30-60 minutes before bedtime. For best results, avoid
taking with dairy or other calcium-containing foods or supplements. Storage:
Keep tightly closed in a dry place; Do not expose to excessive heat.
Increase muscle strength and endurance.
A decrease in muscle cramps and pulls.
faster healing and revocery from injuries.

What is it and where does it come from?
ZMA is a scientifically designed anabolic mineral formula. It
contains Zinc Monomethionine Aspartate plus Magnesium Aspartate and vitamin
B-6, and is an all-natural product that has been clinically proven to significantly
increase anabolic hormone levels and muscle strength in trained athletes.
What does it do and what scientific studies
give evidence to support this?
Don't get me started! There is a large body of scientific evidence supportive
of ZMA. Zinc and Magnesium are commonly depleted from your body.
Studies have shown that supplementing with 30mg of Zinc and 450mg of Magnesium
per day can elevate testosterone levels up to 30%!
The most talked about study is the following. Lorrie Brilla, PhD, a
sports performance researcher at Western Washington University, recently
reported that ZMA significantly increase free testosterone levels
and muscle strength in NCAA football players. These ZMA study results
were presented by Dr. Brilla on June 2, 1999, at the 46th Annual Meeting
of the American College of Sports Medicine in Seattle, WA, and were published
in the official ACSM journal, Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise,
Vol. 31, No. 5, May 1999.
Specifically, Brilla reported that "a group of competitive NCAA football
players who took ZMA nightly during an eight-week spring training
program had 2.5 times greater muscle strength gains than a placebo group.
(250% better results!) Pre and post leg strength measurements were made
using a Biodex isokinetic dynamometer." The strength of the ZMA
group increased by 11.6% compared to only a 4.6% increase in the placebo
group.
Basically, this means that if you went up 10 pounds on your bench press
in eight weeks without ZMA, you WOULD have went up 25 pounds in
that same period if you had been taking ZMA.
