In the arena of competitive and recreational bodybuilding, stacking supplements is the name of the game. While most serious athletes recognize that a specialized multivitamin is a necessary foundational supplement, and while creatine is generally accepted as being the best option for building bigger, more bulky muscles, the vast majority of bodybuilders over the age of 28 wouldn’t dream of giving up their ZMA. For this reason ZMA is almost universally found in the stacking regimen of serious builders. Because of this, it is not surprising that there are several reputable ZMA supplements on the market, including one by NOW brand.
NOW ZMA advertises that it is intended to do the following; maximize absorption and promote recovery from exercise. This is a direct result of the primary ZMA ingredients: Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B6. While ZMA supplements are utilized by athletes of all ages, the fact of the matter is that they provide a more marked benefit for those over the age of 28, as part of the way these supplements work is by increasing the levels of naturally occurring testosterone in the body. If you are younger than 28, you tend to have enough testosterone to make these supplements moot.
NOW ZMA is a bodybuilding supplement that does its work while you sleep. This is why it is recommended that you take it within 30 minutes to an hour before bed. This can make it extremely beneficial as insomnia tends to be a real issue for serious bodybuilders, especially those who use supplements that include large quantities of stimulants. In fact, many users believe that this is how NOW ZMA is so efficient in aiding in recovery. NOW ZMA is available, fairly inexpensively in capsule form, running just over $20 for a 180 capsule bottle. At three pills per serving, this means a single investment can last you 2 months.
While ZMA supplements are noted as being beneficial, they are generally used in conjunction with other supplements, or stacked as it were.
