The Next Generation Recovery and Sleep Enhancement
ZMA-5 is the next generation in recovery and sleep enhancement
supplementation. This innovative new formula combines ZMA with the amino acid
5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) to create a synergistic and highly potent
combination of ingredients. The zinc, magnesium and vitamin B-6 contained in ZMA
are all three co-factors in the conversion of 5-HTP to the hormone serotonin, an
important neurotransmitter that helps to regulate mood and sleep. A precise
amount of folic acid has also been added to ZMA-5 to further increase the
bioavailability and conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin. The normalization of
serotonin levels during sleep may help to elevate mood upon waking from a deep
and restful sleep.
5-HTP has been shown to significantly increase REM (rapid eye movement) sleep
while simultaneously increasing SWS or slow-wave sleep (deep sleep stages 3 and
4) and without increasing the duration of total sleep time.
The benefits of REM sleep have been shown to include cognitive function
enhancements such as improved problem solving ability and memory. Adequate SWS
and REM sleep are both essential to the various functions of the sleep process.
Magnesium has been found to significantly increase the depth and duration of
slow-wave sleep and also without change to total sleep time.
It is extremely important for athletes to get a deep and restful sleep
because this is the when healing, tissue repair, anabolic hormone production and
muscle growth are maximized.
This novel ZMA-5 formula provides all of the proven benefits of the precise
dosages and ratios of the ingredients contained in ZMA plus the added
synergistic and powerful effects of 5-HTP to help establish the next generation
of recovery and sleep enhancement supplementation.
