Twinlab ZMA Fuel

Benefits received by utilizing ZMA Fuel in conjunction with an effective exercise program can include: Increased muscle strength and endurance, a decrease in muscle cramps and pulls, faster healing and recovery from injuries, improved concentration and alertness, decreased water retention, deeper relaxation during sleep.Zinc and magnesium are of vital importance to optimal performance:

• ZINC A deficiency decreases muscle strength and endurance. Zinc is an anabolic element and promotes healing, tissue repair, and muscle growth. Zinc also increases the effect of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1, Growth Hormone, and Testosterone. In addtion, many of the enzymes that prevent the buildup of lactic acid (the "fatigue acids") require zinc.
• MAGNESIUM A deficiency decreases oxygen delivery to muscle tissue. Magnesium promotes muscle strength, endurance, and relaxation. Magnesium also activates enzymes necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates and amino acids. The body's maximum daily release of growth hormone occurs about 90 minutes after going to sleep.

Both zinc and magnesium increase the effect of growth hormone. Zinc also promotes the anabolic effect of testosterone, and magnesium increases muscle relaxation. Healing, tissue repair, and muscle growth are maximized during sleep. This is the reason it is recommended that ZMA be taken between dinner and bedtime.
