ZMA Fuel

ZMA Fuel By TwinLab Size: 90 capsules Natural anabolic support. Strength. The Science Behind the Size - Product: An anabolic mineral support containing a synergistic combination of zinc and magnesium. Result: Promotes hormone production to increase strength. Science: This university tested anabolic formula has been shown to enhance healthy hormone production leading to an average of 2.5 times greater muscle strength gains in male athletes. Published Scientific Study: A Novel Zinc and Magnesium Formulation (ZMA) Increases Anabolic Hormones and Strength in Athletes L. R. Brilla Western Washington University Bellingham WA 98225 and V. Conte BALCO Laboratories Burlingame CA 94010. A double-blind randomized study was conducted to determine the effect of a novel zinc and magnesium formulation (ZMA) on anabolic hormone levels and strength in athletes. Members of the University football team (n=27) had blood collected at the beginning and end of an 8 week period of intensive training. Subjects were supplemented with ZMA (n=12) or placebo (n=15) for the 8 weeks. The ZMA group took 3 capsules nightly that contained a total of 30 mg of ZN as monomethionine/aspartate 450 mg of Mg as aspartate and 10.5 mg of vitamin B-6. The plasma Zn and Mg levels increased in the ZMA group by 29.1% (.804 to 1.038 mcg/ml) and 6.2% (19.43 to 20.63 mcg/ml) respectively while levels decreased in the placebo group by 4.4% (.836 to .799 mcg/ml) and 9.2% (19.68 to 18.04 mcg/ml) respectively. The total and free testosterone levels in serum increased in the ZMA group by 32.4% (567.9 to 752.7 ng/dl) and 33.5% (132.1 to 176.3 pg/mL) respectively in contrast to the placebo group which decreased by 10.5% (588.8 to 526.8 ng/dL) and 10.2% (141.0 to 126.6 pg/mL) respectively. The serum IGF-1 levels increased in the ZMA group by 3.6% (424.2 to 439.3 ng/mL) and decreased in the placebo group by 21.5% (437.3 to 343.3 g/mL). All comparisons were statistically significant (P<0.001). Pre and post isokenetic strength determinations in newton meters were made using a Biodex dynamometer. Subjects (ZMA n=10; placebo n=11) were measured for maximum quadricep strength on the right leg at 180 degrees per sec (strength) and 300 degrees per second (functional power). The ZMA strength group change at 180 degrees per second was +11.6% (189.9 to 211.8) compared to the placebo group change of +4.6% (204.2 to 209.1) and the ZMA group change at 300 degrees per sec. was +18.2% (316.5 to 373.7) in contrast to the +9.4% (369.5 to 404.3) for the placebo group (P<0.05). These findings suggest that nightly supplementation with ZMA significantly increases Zn and Mg levels anabolic hormone levels as well as strength and power in athletes. Sports Medicine Training and Rehabilitation Journal November 1998 (in press) Article:   ZMA's Spectacular Year in the World of Sports Max Sports and Fitness August 2002 ZMA was the first nighttime anabolic formula developed specifically to enhance recovery by improving sleep efficiency. ZMA is a scientifically designed university-tested anabolic mineral support formula that contains zinc monomethionine aspartate plus magnesium aspartate and vitamin B-6 in precise ratios. In addition ZMA is a patent-pending all-natural product that has been shown to significantly boost the levels of your body's two strongest muscle-building hormones testosterone and insulin-like growth factor 1. Since ZMA was introduced to the sports nutrition industry in July 1999 many world-class athletes have been reporting strength and recovery benefits in the gym as well as on the athletic field. Barry's Bond With ZMA Barry Bonds shocked the sports world in 2001 by destroying Mark McGwire's single-season home-run record when he slammed 73 three more than Big Mac's 1998 mark. Barry came into BALCO Laboratories before spring training in 2001 and we adjusted his nutritional supplementation regimen to maximize his muscle recovery absorption of minerals and protein synthesis. As with most elite athletes Barry had depleted levels of zinc and magnesium. We had him take ZMA each night before bedtime which helped him to heal and recover quickly from his strenuous weight-training workouts and the daily grind of baseball. It seems that Barry's intensive strength training and nutritional supplementation program played a huge part in his history-making season. Mr. Olympia ZMA Connection Four-time Mr. Olympia (1998-2001) Ronnie Coleman has been receiving medical and nutritional consultation from BALCO Laboratories since May 1998. This is the period when we first discovered that Ronnie was depleted in zinc and magnesium and he started routinely taking ZMA before bedtime. Ronnie says "ZMA really does help me to relax and recover after my intense workouts. When I wake up in the morning after taking ZMA I feel well rested and ready for another ass-kicking workout." ZMA Track Club Members of the ZMA Track Club won three "US titles at the US Track and Field Championships in Eugene Oregon on June 21-24 2001: Chryste Gaines - women's 100-meter gold medalist with a fast time of 10.89. Marion Jones - women's 200-meter gold medalist with a time of 22.52. Tim Montgomery - men's 100-meter gold medalist with a fast time of 9.95. In addition Kelli White won the silver medal in the women's 100 meters as well as the bronze medal in the 200 meters behind Jones. Ramon Clay also won the silver medal in the men's 200 meters. These five ZMA Track Club athletes advanced to the World Championships in Edmonton Canada on August 3-12 2001. Three of these five athletes went on to win World Championship medals. Marion Jones - women's 200-meter gold medalist and 100-meter silver medalist. Tim Montgomery - men's 100-meter silver medalist in a very fast time of 9.85. Kelli White also won the bronze medal in the women's 200 meters behind Marion. Jones is a big fan of ZMA. "I had a number of tests done on my blood at BALCO Laboratories " says Jones. "I learned that I was really deficient in both zinc and magnesium." ZMA fixed that and she credits the supplement with helping her to sleep better and making her morning workouts more effective. "ZMA really has helped me " she says. Nighttime Anabolic Formulas Sleep and Recovery Aids In an article I wrote in 2000 called "Grow As You Sleep " I predicted that the science of ZMA would help to establish an entirely new category of sports performance products R called "Nighttime Anabolic Formulas" or "Sleep and Recovery Aids." More and more athletes utilizing ZMA to enhance sleep efficiency are beginning to truly understand the process of maximizing recover healing anabolic hormone production and muscle growth. As a result the ZMA gospel "You Grow As You Sleep " is spreading like wildfire. ZMA was developed by Victor Conte founder and director of BACO Laboratories in Burlingame California which has been in existence for more than 18 years. BALCO specializes in mineral and trace element assessment and performs research with elite Olympic and professional athletes. Victor routinely provides consultation for several hundred elite athletes from a variety of sports including football baseball bodybuilding basketball tennis hockey track and field swimming and soccer.
