Benefits of ZMA:

Here’s a breakdown of how the ingredients in ZMA work:

1. Zinc:

   • Zinc is crucial for immune system function, protein synthesis, and cell division. It also plays a role in the production of testosterone, which can help improve athletic performance.

   • It is also involved in wound healing and maintaining healthy skin, which can be beneficial for athletes who experience physical strain.

2. Magnesium:

   • Magnesium is vital for muscle function, energy production, and maintaining healthy bones. It can help reduce muscle cramps and soreness after intense exercise.

   • Magnesium has calming properties, helping to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve sleep quality. This is one of the primary reasons people take ZMA before bed.

   • Vitamin B6:

     • Vitamin B6 supports the body’s ability to metabolize proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It also helps in the production of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, which affect mood and mental well-being.

     • It works synergistically with zinc and magnesium, enhancing their absorption and effectiveness.

• Structural Protein: Collagen supports skin, bones, joints, and connective tissues.

• Decreases with Age: Less collagen = wrinkles, weaker joints, and slower recovery.

• Natural Sources: Found in bone broth, fish skin, egg whites, and chicken.

• Supplement Support: Collagen peptides aid skin elasticity, hydration, and joint health.

•  Boost with Vitamin C: Essential for collagen production—think citrus, berries, bell peppers.

Astragalus Capsule – Common Ingredients

• Astragalus Root Extract: The main active ingredient, often standardized to a certain % of polysaccharides (which support immunity).

• Vegetable Capsule (or Gelatin): The outer shell—usually made from cellulose for plant-based supplements.

• Rice Flour or Microcrystalline Cellulose: Used as a filler or flow agent to help fill the capsule evenly.

• Magnesium Stearate or Silicon Dioxide: Common additives that help with capsule consistency and production.

• Sometimes Added Herbs: Some blends include other adaptogens like ginseng, ashwagandha, or licorice root.

Vitamin D3-K2 – Common Ingredients

• Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol): Usually sourced from lanolin (sheep’s wool) or lichen (vegan-friendly).

• Vitamin K2 (MK-7 form): Often derived from natto (fermented soy) or synthetic fermentation processes.

• Carrier Oil: Commonly MCT oil, olive oil, or sunflower oil to help absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

• Capsule or Softgel Shell: Made from gelatin or plant-based cellulose (for vegetarians/vegans).

• Additives (optional):

  • Glycerin, water, or beeswax (in softgels)

  • No fillers or preservatives in cleaner, higher-quality brands
