What is in a serving
The panel gives amounts per capsule and per 3 capsules. At 3 capsules you get 30 mg of zinc from zinc bisglycinate and zinc aspartate, and 450 mg of magnesium from magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium oxide. Vitamin B6 is 12 mg as pyridoxine HCl, vitamin D is 20 mcg as ergocalciferol and vitamin B12 is 3 mcg as methylcobalamin.
Three trace minerals complete the formula at that serving: selenium at 100 mcg as selenomethionine, manganese at 1.8 mg as manganese bisglycinate and chromium at 120 mcg as chromium picolinate. Piperine from BioPerine black pepper fruit adds 4.8 mg. One capsule is a third of each amount, for example 10 mg of zinc and 150 mg of magnesium.
Why eight nutrients
A classic ZMA product pairs zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6. ZM8+ keeps that trio and adds vitamin D, vitamin B12, selenium, manganese and chromium, which makes eight. The plus is the BioPerine. Every mineral except selenium and chromium comes at least partly as a bisglycinate, an amino acid chelate.
How to take it
Adults take 2 to 3 capsules daily. The label sets an 8 week course followed by a 4 week off-cycle, and asks you to consult a health care practitioner for use beyond 3 months. At 2 capsules a bottle lasts 45 days, and at 3 capsules it lasts 30 days.
Do not use it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Speak with a health care practitioner first if you have a history of non-melanoma skin cancer, or if you take other medications or natural health products, since black pepper and piperine may change how they work. Some people get diarrhea, and zinc can lower copper levels over time, so check your copper intake with a practitioner if you are unsure. Thirty milligrams of zinc is a high daily amount; add up any multivitamin or other zinc product you take.
The capsule shell is hypromellose, so it suits people who avoid gelatin. The other non-medicinal ingredients are magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide and microcrystalline cellulose.
