ZMA (Also known as: Zinc and Magnesium)
ZMA is a blend of Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B6. Research shows that this blend of nutrients will raise low testosterone levels, increase strength, and accelerate gains in muscle size. One university study shows a 33.5% rise in testosterone following ZMA supplementation. Gains in muscle strength were also significantly greater in subjects using ZMA. ZMA can be used by all athletes wanting to gain lean muscle size and strength, including bodybuilders, rugby players, sprinters and other strength athletes. ZMA is also used widely by endurance athletes, such as runners, cyclists and triathletes, as it helps to prevent the drop in testosterone levels linked with high volumes of training.
The minerals zinc and magnesium have a number of important functions in the body. Zinc has been strongly linked to the production of testosterone, a hormone that plays a vital role in regulating muscle growth. In addition to its effect on testosterone, zinc has also been shown to increase levels of Growth Hormone and IGF-1. Both are essential for increasing muscle size. Magnesium is also an essential mineral, involved in more than 300 chemical reactions in the body including the oxidation or Burning of Fat.
Unfortunately, many of us don't get enough of these minerals in our diets. According to a recent survey, more than 3 out of 5 people consume less than the RDA for magnesium and zinc. Clinical trials show that animals fed low zinc diets exhibit little muscle growth. If you exercise, the problem gets even worse. Just one training session can increase magnesium losses by 21%. Studies also show a significant loss of magnesium in sweat. Zinc levels drop the longer you spend in the gym. These deficiencies have led researchers to study mineral supplementation in some depth, with some extremely promising results. Magnesium increased muscular performance far more quickly than in those taking a 'dummy' supplement. Similar findings are reported for zinc. After just 14 days of supplementation, subjects showed an impressive increase in muscular strength and endurance. Even in men just moderately deficient in zinc, 30 milligrams daily was enough to double testosterone levels in only six months.
Results have been even more impressive when a zinc and magnesium combination has been used.
In one study, conducted at Western Washington University, two groups of American Footballers took part in an 8-week training programme. One group was given ZMA, while the second group used a 'dummy supplement. None of the footballers knew which was which. ZMA supplementation led to a 33.5% increase in testosterone. In contrast, testosterone levels actually dropped in the control group. IGF-1 (a powerful hormone that plays a vital role in muscle growth) is normally lowered in response to regular exercise. Yet, despite the intensive training programme, ZMA users experienced a 3.6% increase in IGF-1 levels. In non-ZMA users, IGF-1 levels dropped by a 21.5%. These powerful effects on hormone levels also had an impressive effect on muscle strength - ZMA users demonstrated gains in strength that were 252% larger than the control group.
One may expect a rapid increase in muscle growth, faster gains in strength, greater feelings of aggression and drive, and an overall improvement in well-being. Most users report a difference after 10-14 days of regular use. ZMA works well with other supplements designed to increase testosterone levels, such as Tribulus Terrestris. Because testosterone increases protein synthesis (muscle growth), ZMA WILL INCREASE YOUR NEED FOR PROTEIN. Many athletes combine ZMA with a Whey Protein Blend or Whey Protein Isolate during the mass or strength building phase of their Training Programme. As always one should as a precaution check with your health care professional before starting a cycle of ZMA or any supplementation programe, especially if you suffer from any liver, kidney or pre-existing medical condition. Females should not take ZMA while pregnant or lactating.
