The combination is popular among athletes, who often use it as part of their evening routine. Instead of three separate bottles, ZMA provides the three nutrients in one capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eZinc\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc is an essential trace element that can be found in meat, shellfish, dairy, nuts and whole grains, among other foods. Zinc contributes to normal protein synthesis, normal immune system function and the protection of cells against oxidative stress. Zinc also contributes to the maintenance of normal blood testosterone levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMagnesium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium is found in green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grain products.

Because ZMA MAX contains no stimulating substances, you choose whether to take the capsule in the morning or evening; one capsule per day is enough. SiS Rest \u0026amp; Recover and SiS REST+ are intended to be taken approximately 30 minutes before bedtime. Stick to the recommended daily dosage on the packaging and do not unknowingly combine multiple supplements containing zinc or magnesium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is ZMA intended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZMA is mainly used by athletes and people with an active lifestyle who want to supplement their intake of zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6. A varied diet remains the foundation.

ZMA MAX by German Elite Nutrition combines all three in a plant-based capsule, but with a slight twist: you only need one capsule a day. The formula is free from lactose and gluten and is suitable for vegans. Convenient if you want a solid foundation without a row of loose jars on your kitchen counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6 do together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe letters ZMA stand for zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6. This combination did not appear out of nowhere. It became popular in strength sports, where athletes were looking for a simple way to combine three nutrients in one product. Since then, ZMA has become a staple on the shelves. The three substances are involved in many different processes in your body. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Magnesium also contributes to normal protein synthesis and to the normal function of the nervous system. Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the maintenance of normal blood testosterone levels. Zinc also contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to normal psychological function. In addition, vitamin B6 contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells. Magnesium and vitamin B6 contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the normal function of the nervous system. That is why you so often see the three together in a formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree forms of magnesium in one capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference lies in the source. This formula uses not one, but three forms of magnesium together: magnesium citrate, magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium oxide. Citrate is bound to citric acid. Bisglycinate is linked to the amino acid glycine. Oxide, on the other hand, provides a lot of elemental magnesium per milligram, allowing you to get a substantial dose from a small capsule. By combining the three, you are not limited to the properties of a single form, but get a mix of them. Each capsule provides 187.5 mg of magnesium, which is 50% of the daily reference intake. Magnesium contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. It also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and to normal psychological function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne capsule a day, six months in one jar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany ZMA products have you take three capsules a day. With ZMA MAX, it is just one. That single capsule contains 187.5 mg of magnesium, 10 mg of zinc (100% of the reference intake) and 6 mg of vitamin B6. That B6 content is high, well above the daily reference intake, which is common in this type of formula. Many people wonder when is the best time to take ZMA. There is no fixed time: traditionally, the combination is taken around evening, but because it contains no stimulating substances, you can choose whether to take the capsule in the morning or evening. One jar contains 180 capsules. At one capsule a day, that will last you about six months. Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system. This means you do not have to replenish your supply every month.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan, and free from lactose and gluten\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA detail that matters to many people: the capsule itself. The ZMA MAX shell is made from plant-based cellulose instead of gelatin, making the product suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The formula is also free from lactose and gluten. This makes it an accessible choice if you pay attention to these kinds of things. The zinc is in the form of zinc bisglycinate, linked to an amino acid. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, skin and nails, and plays a role in the cell division process. This way, you get a little more than just the sports side of the story in one small daily capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, ZMA MAX combines three well-known nutrients in one simple daily capsule. No powder, no hassle with multiple doses, just a fixed dose of zinc, magnesium and B6 that fits an active routine. For those looking for the classic ZMA combination without a lot of swallowing, this is a straightforward choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43785663086812,"sku":"gen-033","price":21.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/gen-zma-german-elite-nutrition-1.jpg?v=1793634787"},{"product_id":"sis-rest-recover","title":"SiS Rest \u0026 Recover | Magnesium \u0026 Amino Acids | 120 Capsules","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSiS Rest \u0026amp; Recover for your evening routine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSiS Rest \u0026amp; Recover\u003c\/strong\u003e is a capsule supplement with magnesium and amino acids for athletes.

With magnesium bisglycinate, each magnesium ion is bound to two glycine molecules. Per daily dose of 4 capsules, you get 150mg of elemental magnesium, or 40% of the reference intake. That seems modest compared to pots that advertise 300mg, but SiS deliberately stays below the 250mg that is considered the safe upper limit for magnesium from supplements in Europe. Elemental here means: the pure magnesium itself, separate from the weight of the compound it is in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat else is in the capsules besides magnesium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is where Rest \u0026amp; Recover differs from a regular magnesium pot. Per daily dose, you get 1500mg of L-glycine, 220mg of L-tryptophan, 110mg of CherryPURE® and 100mg of L-theanine. These are not symbolic extras; many individual magnesium products add at most 50mg of glycine as an auxiliary substance. Glycine is the chelate partner of the magnesium and an amino acid. L-tryptophan is an amino acid that your body does not produce itself and that occurs in high-protein foods. CherryPURE® is a standardized extract of the Montmorency cherry (Prunus cerasus). L-theanine, finally, is an amino acid from green tea. The capsule wall is plant-based, made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePermitted health claims for magnesium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium contributes to the normal function of muscles and the normal function of the nervous system. It also contributes to normal psychological function, a normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. For the other ingredients, no permitted health claims are available, so we do not mention them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEvery batch through the Informed Sport lab\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSiS has every production batch of Rest \u0026amp; Recover tested via Informed Sport, the independent certification program of the LGC laboratory. There, every batch is screened for substances from the WADA banned list before the product can leave the door. For competitive athletes, that is not a detail but a condition, and it is something you rarely encounter with drugstore brands. The formula consists of a mineral, three amino acids and a cherry extract, without melatonin: nutrients that you also get partly from your daily food, but then in fixed amounts per capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRest \u0026amp; Recover complements the SiS range for the evening.

You drink it about half an hour before going to bed. The berry flavour contains tart cherry, magnesium, glycine, L-tryptophan and L-theanine. Everything is already in the sachet, so you don't need to weigh or dose anything separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in each sachet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne 55 ml sachet provides 17,000 mg tart cherry juice concentrate, 3,000 mg L-glycine and 74 mg magnesium, which is 20% of the daily reference intake. It also contains 250 mg cocoa extract with 40% cocoa flavanols, 220 mg CherryPURE Montmorency cherry powder, 210 mg L-tryptophan and 210 mg L-theanine. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the muscles and magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Furthermore, one sachet contains 43 kcal and 10 grams of carbohydrates, of which 7.9 grams are sugars. It contains no fat or protein. The mineral is included as magnesium chloride, a salt form that dissolves well in water and is therefore suitable for a liquid product. Good to know: the sweetness comes only partly from the cherry, as it also contains sweetener in the form of sucralose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTart cherry from Montmorency cherries\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base of this drink is the Montmorency cherry, a tart cherry variety that is found in many sports products. Science in Sport uses concentrated cherry juice and supplements it with CherryPURE, a freeze-dried powder made from the same cherry. Together, these two provide the majority of what is in the sachet. Whereas cherry juice from the supermarket is mostly water, this is a concentrate, which significantly increases the amount per sachet. As a result, the flavour relies on real cherry rather than just flavouring, and the drink is refreshing without feeling syrupy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy athletes choose an evening drink\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuch a drink fits into an evening routine: you prepare it, drink it slowly, and end your day. Many athletes find a regular evening ritual pleasant, especially during competition weeks when one training session follows another. Magnesium contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. L-theanine is an amino acid that occurs naturally in tea leaves. In practice, this means: a small, familiar moment to end your day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to incorporate the sachet into your evening\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou stir one sachet into 200 ml of cold water, but it can also be added to yoghurt, a smoothie or your recovery shake. By the way, with hot water you can make a kind of cherry tea before bedtime. Many athletes wonder if such a product can also be used on rest days; it can, because you only use one sachet per day. And since the box contains ten, it covers exactly one training or competition week. This makes the evening drink a regular part of how you end your day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: a liquid evening drink with a berry flavour, ten sachets in a box, made to help you end your evening after exercise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SIS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54239862292818,"sku":"sis-104","price":22.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/sis-104_rest-berry_fill_2000x2000_59cc3aae-8f87-4dc8-b67d-210cc4023317.jpg?v=1786605815"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/collections\/zma.oembed","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
