NOW Foods ZMA 90 Veg Capsules

NOW® Sports ZMA® is a well-known combination of zinc, magnesium and vitamin B-6 designed to maximize absorption and promote recovery from exercise.* Zinc plays a central role in cellular growth, tissue repair and healthy immune function, while magnesium is essential for electrolyte balance, energy production and normal neuromuscular function.* Because intense physical activity can increase the body's need for these minerals, ZMA® is an ideal way to replenish them — taken at bedtime on an empty stomach (away from calcium) for best absorption and overnight recovery support.*

About the key ingredients

• Zinc (from Zinc Mono-L-methionine & Aspartate): An essential mineral central to cellular growth, tissue repair and healthy immune function, in an enhanced-absorption form.* Learn more about Zinc from the NIH.
• Magnesium (from Aspartate & Oxide): An essential mineral for electrolyte balance, energy production and normal neuromuscular function, often depleted by intense activity.* Learn more about Magnesium from the NIH.
• Vitamin B-6 (from Pyridoxine HCl): Included to support the absorption and utilization of the minerals and normal metabolism.*
• Other ingredients: A plant-based hypromellose (cellulose) capsule with minimal flow agents such as rice flour and stearic acid — no unnecessary fillers.

Who it's for

ZMA® suits athletes and active adults who want to replenish zinc and magnesium — minerals that intense training can deplete — and support muscle strength, recovery and restful overnight recovery.* It appeals to lifters and endurance athletes who take it at bedtime, and to anyone wanting an enhanced-absorption zinc-magnesium-B6 combination.*

Frequently asked questions

What does ZMA do?
ZMA® is a zinc, magnesium and vitamin B-6 blend designed for enhanced absorption and to promote recovery from exercise.* Zinc supports tissue repair and immunity, magnesium supports energy and neuromuscular function, and B-6 aids their utilization — minerals that hard training can deplete.*

How and when should I take it?
Take it at bedtime on an empty stomach — men typically 3 capsules, women 2 — and avoid taking it with dairy or other calcium-containing foods or supplements, since calcium can interfere with absorption.*

Why take it before bed?
Taking ZMA® 30–60 minutes before bedtime supports overnight recovery and mineral replenishment, and many athletes find magnesium at night fits a wind-down routine.*

Cautions & interactions

ZMA® is generally well tolerated. For best absorption take it on an empty stomach and apart from calcium or dairy. Because it provides zinc, avoid taking additional high-dose zinc long-term (which can lower copper), and talk to your doctor before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.
