Yamamoto Nutrition presents Chromium PICOLINATE 200mcg. Chromium PICOLINATE is a dietary supplement that provides 200mcg of chromium picolinate. Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism and maintains normal levels of blood glucose.
Chromium is an essential mineral, which is present in concentrations of twenty parts of chromium per billion parts of blood. The body contains about 6 mg of this mineral, while the blood contains about 20 parts per billion. Chromium in the diet is essential for both animals and humans. An important role has recently been attributed to this mineral in the metabolism of carbohydrates. Chromium stimulates the activity of enzymes responsible for the metabolism of glucose, which is used as energy and for the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol. Chromium has been shown to increase the effectiveness of insulin, and has the ability to transform glucose, preventing hypoglycaemia (too much insulin) or diabetes (little insulin). Chromium supplements are mainly used in the treatment of hypoglycemia, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and raised triglyceridaemia, to promote weight loss and as a treatment against acne.
Potassium CITRATE is a food supplement of potassium from organic source suitable in case of reduced intake or increased requirements. Potassium contributes to normal muscle function and to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
Yamamoto Nutrition presents ZmaPRO. ZmaPRO is a food supplement with zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6 recommended for men, also sportsmen. Zinc contributes to the normal fertility and reproduction and contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood. Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity and to the normal energy yielding metabolism, while magnesium contributes to the normal muscle function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
From the studies that support the ergogenic activity of this product, it emerges that the ZMA possesses an intense anabolic activity, mediated by the stimulus on the production and secretion of testosterone and IGF-1. The three ingredients of the ZMA play a major biological role and among these magnesium is undoubtedly one of the most deficient minerals in the typical diet of industrialized countries. The intense physical activity is accompanied by an increased need for vitamins and minerals, not always compensated by adequate nutrition. When it is not possible to follow a 100% correct diet, food supplementation is a valid aid for sportsmen and sedentary.
