What do recovery, sleep quality, and free testosterone all have in common? 5% Nutrition  Core ZMA! In this article, we will take a closer look at the Core ZMA formula, and see why you should Add It To Your Program Today!

5% Nutrition Core Series - The Next Level Of Core Supplements!

Take a look at the Core line of most other supplement companies. What you typically find is they consist of just a single ingredient. It took 5% Nutrition innovation to reinvent the idea of a “Core” line of products. We not only feature a key single ingredient, we do something different by adding 1 or 2 supporting ingredients. Of course, it took 5% to come up with that idea. If you’re looking for something more than just another single ingredient Core product, look no further than 5% Nutrition!

5% Nutrition Core ZMA Ingredient Breakdown

With Core ZMA, we feature the 3 ingredients that this potent supplement consists of. But, and it’s a big “but”, we have added a potent dose of boron. That dramatically changes the implications of this impressive product! Let’s dig into the ingredients and see why you should add it to your program.

Zinc - 30 mg

Zinc is an essential mineral that only comes from food and supplements. It’s not made by the body. So what does zinc do? It is involved in cellular metabolism, supports immune function, and is involved in protein metabolism. Also, it plays a role in wound healing, cell signaling, and DNA synthesis.⁽¹⁾

Magnesium - 450 mg

This is another essential mineral that, like zinc, must come from your diet and supplements. It’s an extremely important nutrient for anyone who exercises. Why, you might ask? It is involved in muscular contraction. Making sure you have enough of any nutrient that ensures quality muscular contractions is an important component of your success. In addition, magnesium also supports nerve transmission and electrolyte balance. Plus, it has a role in protein synthesis. Finally, it promotes healthy bones and is involved in DNA/RNA synthesis.⁽²⁾

Vitamin B6 - 10.5 mg

B6 is a member of the water-soluble B vitamin family. It plays a role in melatonin production which supports sleep. Plus, it promotes the production of serotonin which helps the body relax. As well, it's involved in norepinephrine production. That’s a neurotransmitter that plays a major role in mood. Finally, like all B vitamins, it helps convert food into cellular energy and helps the body cope with stress.⁽³⁾

Boron -  5 mg

This is a trace mineral that supports the body's conversion of total testosterone into free testosterone. This is extremely important because free testosterone is the amount that’s available for muscle growth. In addition, boron supports bone health.⁽⁴⁾

Stack It!

As we have seen, 5% Nutrition Core ZMA is an important addition to your program for a few reasons. First, ZMA is a well-known sleep aid. Better sleep, of course, has a positive impact on recovery and ultimately, your progress. Next, with the addition of boron, Core ZMA supports free testosterone levels. That also means more progress. You can stack it with a few 5% supplements to maximize these benefits. 

For improved sleep quality, stack Core ZMA with our advanced natural sleep aid Knocked The F*ck Out. To make the most of your natural production of testosterone, stack Core ZMA with TEST Test Booster, Core D-Aspartic Acid, and Core KSM®-66. This is the ultimate Test Stack!
