NOW Foods Sports Nutrition, ZMA (Zinco, Magnésio e Vitamina B-6), é um suplemento alimentar de alta qualidade projetado para atletas de todos os níveis. Com 180 cápsulas, este produto é formulado para oferecer absorção aprimorada, promovendo a recuperação muscular e melhorando o desempenho atlético. A combinação de zinco, magnésio e vitamina B-6 foi cuidadosamente desenvolvida para maximizar a absorção desses nutrientes essenciais, fundamentais para a saúde e a performance de quem pratica atividades físicas.
Durante a prática de exercícios intensos, o corpo demanda uma quantidade maior de zinco e magnésio, minerais que desempenham papéis cruciais na recuperação e no fortalecimento muscular. O ZMA é ideal para repor esses nutrientes, ajudando a reduzir a fadiga muscular e a melhorar a qualidade do sono, o que é vital para a recuperação. A qualidade dos produtos NOW Foods é garantida pela certificação GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), assegurando que cada etapa do processo de fabricação seja realizada com os mais altos padrões de qualidade.
1. Recuperação Muscular Aprimorada: O ZMA ajuda a acelerar a recuperação após treinos intensos, reduzindo a fadiga e melhorando a performance.
2. Absorção Aumentada: A fórmula otimizada garante que o corpo absorva eficientemente os nutrientes essenciais, maximizando os benefícios de cada cápsula.

5. Suporte Nutricional Especializado: O ZMA é formulado para atender às necessidades específicas de atletas e pessoas ativas, promovendo uma recuperação muscular adequada.
Recomenda-se a ingestão de 3 cápsulas diariamente, preferencialmente com o estômago vazio, cerca de 30 a 60 minutos antes de dormir. Essa prática maximiza a absorção dos nutrientes e potencializa os efeitos do suplemento na recuperação muscular. É aconselhável consultar um profissional de saúde antes de iniciar qualquer regime de suplementação, especialmente para aqueles com condições de saúde preexistentes ou que estejam tomando outros medicamentos.

Mineral supplements in general do not absorb well if they are not chelated to something like an amino acid. The ZMA is not labeled as “chelated” – however if you review the list of ingredients it contains Magnesium Aspartate which is chelated. There are two forms of zinc: Zinc aspartate and Zinc Mono-L-Methionine – both chelated.
Taking a mineral that is not chelated – for example magnesium oxide – is fairly useless as little to none of it is absorbed.
I take many supplements and have taken ZMA intermittently under times of increased stress. Zinc and Magnesium are two of the many minerals in which most people are deficient. Zinc in particular is very important in supporting the immune system. Magnesium is important for a slew of cellular functions in the body. I cannot say that I notice any particular symptom when I add these to my supplement regimen, but they are very important minerals. I do take a chelated multimineral supplement on a daily basis which does contain a small amount of zinc.
Given the pandemic of the novel coronavirus, I have just ordered a new bottle and will be taking the full recommended dosage until this pandemic is under control. The goal being to better support my immune system.
As an aside, it seems that many people consider this to be a sleep aid. It is not advertised as such. Magnesium is a natural muscle relaxer and helps tremendously when taken regularly by people with migraine headaches. If you are looking for a sleep aid – consider 5-HTP – excellent – precursor to melatonin but works much better in my opinion. Velarian is very good as well – but BEWARE – it smells like you stepped in doggy doodoo.

First off, let it be known that how this product affects you will depend completely on your body’s chemistry and nutritional needs. Also it’s my strong opinion that to get the most of ZMA, you’ll want to use it during a hard training cycle. You may not be an athlete, per se, but your body will have a greater need for zinc and magnesium if you’re placing greater demands upon it… and therefore you will reap the recovery benefits of the product, whereas someone who doesn’t train very hard likely won’t get the best result because their body simply doesn’t require it nearly as much. Simple concept. Simple principles of physical training adaptation and differing nutritional needs.
I’ve taken several ZMA products in the past. They usually helped my recovery noticeably, and improved the quality of my sleep. This product certainly gets me into a deep sleep, but I have noticed extreme grogginess in the mornings. As some other reviewers have mentioned, I have actually missed my alarms in the mornings when I’ve taken this. Am I complaining about it? No. To be fair, you might expect that with ANY ZMA product… it is important to know that this may happen, but you’re still getting the beneficial results from the product. If you don’t like these effects, don’t take it.
I take the recommended 3 capsules about 30-minutes before sleep on a relatively empty stomach, with a few ounces of water, as directed. I would take this product daily during a hard training cycle of up to 8-weeks, but that’s just my personal preference. After 8-weeks, I’d stop using the product because of the concept of ‘down-regulation’ whereby your body adapts to almost anything you give it for a prolonged period of time (i.e. caffeine, aspirin, tribulus, etc.)
I like this product, but I am not certain that it is the best ZMA product on the market. And to be honest I am not completely sure why, because milligram for milligram, it should be very similar to other ZMA products, if not the same (as long as the types and doses of zinc and magnesium are the same). I’m no scientist, but I know that this stuff gets me into a deep sleep, so I do like it.
All that said, I will probably buy a different brand next time to see if I find one better. But then you have to wonder… if I’m NOT that groggy in the morning taking another brand, is the other brand under-dosed or lying about the milligrams listed on the label? That’s the problem with nutritional supplements folks. You gotta rely on these public reviews to find reputable brands. I think NOW is a reputable brand… for now.
