What do Olympic level athletes and Navy SEALs have in common?
They suffer from exercise-induced mineral loss that robs them of strength, endurance and growth. ZMA is the only non-steroidal, natural dietary supplement clinically proven to increase free testosterone levels and strength in training athletes.* ZMA replaces minerals lost during strenuous exercise. And it has been shown to improve strength, endurance and muscle recovery. In one study, Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1) levels increased by 4%, whereas the placebo group decreased 10%.*
Stimulate your own anabolic mechanisms
ZMA is a patent-pending formula containing highly absorbable zinc, magnesium and B6 to maximize your body's own anabolic functions. A study of strength-training collegiate football players showed
ZMA increased free testosterone more than 40%.*
Proven to improve muscle power
After 8 weeks of strength training, nightly ZMA supplementation was shown to increase quadricep strength 250% greater than a placebo.*
The best time to take ZMA is...
...on an empty stomach before bed to insure peak absorption and to maximize anabolic hormone production at night. ZMA should not be taken with any calcium-containing supplements or foods, which will impair its absorption.
This is the same university-tested and patented formula used in studies. Get results safely, try Fitness Labs ZMA today!
