ZMA & Vitamin B6

ZMA supplements are a perfect balance of two essential minerals: zinc and magnesium. However, these minerals are also formulated with an addition of vitamin B6 because of its abilities to enhance their effects and because of its own health benefits that it can provide your body. It is essential for many chemical processes and its primary role is to act as a co-factor to many other enzymes in the body that are predominantly involved in metabolism.

As part of the vitamin B complex, vitamin B (pyridoxine) assists other B vitamins in breaking down carbohydrates into glucose in order to create energy, breaking down fats and proteins and toning the muscles of the stomach and intestinal tract. B vitamins also assist many other functions including in the health of skin, hair and eyes.

Where can we find vitamin B6?

Vitamin B6 can be found in a variety of food sources including:

  • Meat
  • Fish
  • Vegetables
  • Nuts and seeds
  • Whole grains and bran
  • Beans and legumes
  • Butter

Athletes in particular find benefits from vitamin B6 because of its importance in the process of converting protein into energy. Although they may find decent levels of this vitamin within their dietary intake, boosting vitamin B6 is definitely beneficial for overall health and fitness.
