ZiMA: The optimal combination of zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6 for your well-being
ZiMA, an abbreviation for Zinc Magnesium Aspartate, is a product that is often misunderstood as a combination of zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6. After taking some time to understand this composition myself, I am now happy to share my knowledge about it.
There are numerous Z.M.A products on the market as the active ingredient formula is not patented. Each manufacturer has the freedom to use or adapt the original formula. This consists of zinc aspartate (30 mg), magnesium aspartate (450 mg) and vitamin B6 in the form of pyridoxine hydrochloride (10.5 mg). In contrast to this is the registered brand name Z.M.A (without the dots), the use of which requires a license. To avoid these costs, we have named our product ZiMA.
As the maximum permitted amount of zinc is regulated in the EU, we have adapted our formula accordingly. Our ZiMA contains per two capsules
- 20 mg elemental zinc from zinc aspartate
- 300 mg elemental magnesium from magnesium aspartate
- 7 mg vitamin B6 from pyridoxine HCl
If you were to take three capsules instead of two, this would correspond to the original formula, which, however, is not approved in Europe. We therefore recommend taking two capsules and offer 90 capsules per pack, which is enough for 30 days at this dosage.
We attach great importance to high-quality raw materials, which are sourced through our certified purchasing department. Like almost all #sinobPHARMA products, our ZiMA is vegan, made with colorless vegan capsules and without the use of magnesium stearate etc.
