It has also been shown that exercise can lead to increased losses of zinc and magnesium(4,5). Zinc is particularly important from a bodybuilding standpoint due to its vital role in testosterone production(2).
Low levels of zinc and magnesium have a strong adverse effect on muscle growth(7). What makes ZMA® different is the patented forms(1) of the zinc, and the ratio in which it is combined with magnesium aspartate and Vitamin B6.
A recent study showed that this patent formula(1) of ZMA® when given to training athletes resulted in 43.7% higher testosterone levels(2) and 25% greater IGF-1 levels(3), as well as a 2.5 times greater strength increase compared to the placebo group.
ZMA® supplementation has shown to significantly decrease levels of the catabolic “stress” hormone, cortisol. In a double blind, randomized study of 23 triathletes, serum cortisol was lower in the ZMA® supplemented group before and after competition compared to the placebo group(10).
ZMA® contains minerals you may not be getting enough of and you definitely need. An important thing to note is that the zinc and magnesium must be in the aspartate form, not the chelate, sulfate, or citrate form commonly found in multivitamins. The ratio is also extremely important. (This is why you should use a ZMA® supplement instead of individual magnesium and zinc supplements.) This supplement should not be taken with calcium, as calcium lowers absorption.
A special aspect of ZMA® was the inclusion of vitamin B6 to enhance the absorption of the Zinc and Magnesium (8,9) in addition to the known properties of vitamin B6 in protein metabolism
