Enhance
strength, endurance, recovery, and growth with the original
ZMA formula from SNAC System. ZMA is an advanced zinc/magnesium
formulation designed to replace deficiencies caused from
exercise and stress.
ZMA
is a scientifically designed mineral-support formula that
can dramatically increase natural levels of anabolic hormones
and improve athletic performance. In fact, if taken as recommended,
ZMA can increase free testosterone by 30% while boosting
IGF-1 levels significantly.
Zinc
and magnesium deficiencies are common in the general population
and even more prevalent in athletes. To illustrate the point,
in 1998, the mineral status of over 250 NFL players was
tested. Over 70% of the players were either depleted or
deficient in both zinc and magnesium. It sounds almost unbelievable
because of all the attention we give to good nutrition,
but most athletes and active people are deficient in zinc
and magnesium which results in decreased hormone levels
and diminished strength and power.
The
Cause of Zinc and Magnesium Deficiencies
Why
are we so deficient in zinc and magnesium? Probably the
biggest reason is that rigorous exercise and stress result
in significant mineral losses. And, to make matters worse,
most ordinary types of zinc and magnesium are poorly absorbed
? it's very difficult to recover proper amounts without
specific supplementation.
The
Solution
ZMA
is designed to combat these deficiencies. University studies
have found that the zinc and magnesium contained in ZMA
are absorbed far better than other forms. An independent
ZMA study was recently conducted on competitive NCAA football
players at Western Washington University. The results show
that, in eight weeks, the ZMA group increased free and total
testosterone levels by 30%, while the placebo group showed
a decrease of 10%. The ZMA group also had a slight increase
in IGF-1 levels compared to a 20% decrease in the placebo
group. In addition to increasing anabolic-hormone levels,
the ZMA group gained 2.5 times more strength and functional
power over the placebo group.
What
to Expect
So,
if you're an athlete, or you're under a lot of stress, you
probably need extra zinc and magnesium to perform at your
best. And if you incorporate ZMA into your supplement program,
odds are you'll attain the same kinds of increases in testosterone
and GH production that many athletes have already experienced.
