Zinc is an essential mineral involved in immune function, protein synthesis, testosterone production, wound healing and taste and smell. It is one of the most commonly depleted minerals in athletes and in people following plant-heavy diets. Yamamoto zinc formulas are made in Italy, with fast delivery across the UAE and GCC.
Intense training increases zinc losses through sweat. Low zinc can impair immune function, slow recovery and affect hormone balance. ZmaPRO and ZMA + Cordyceps combine zinc with magnesium and vitamin B6 in the ZMA formula, one of the most used combinations for recovery, sleep quality and anabolic hormone support.
When should I take zinc? Most commonly before bed on an empty stomach to support sleep and recovery, and because zinc competes with calcium for absorption.
Can I take too much zinc? Yes. Stay at or below the upper tolerable intake level of 40 mg per day from supplements; excessive zinc can deplete copper.
What is ZMA? A combination of zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6, commonly taken by athletes before bed to support recovery, sleep quality and natural testosterone levels.
