ZMD+ is a well-thought-out supplement that covers some of the most crucial needs for an active lifestyle. With a powerful combination of zinc, magnesium, and vitamin D in a single tablet, you get optimal absorption without burdening your stomach. Instead of needing several different products, you get a complete solution here – all nutrients in the right form, in a carefully balanced ratio.
We have uncompromisingly chosen some of the most bioavailable and easily absorbed forms, such as magnesium bisglycinate and zinc picolinate, and completely excluded ineffective oxide compounds. This ensures high absorption and minimal risk of stomach upset. Vitamin D in the form of D3 is an obvious part of ZMD+ and plays a key role in the immune system, muscle function and bone health - especially during autumn, winter and spring when sunlight is not strong enough for self-production.
ZMD+ makes it easy to give the body and nervous system the right conditions to feel good and perform at their best, with a focus on effective doses, raw material quality and bioavailability.
ZMD+ contains no oxide compounds or buffered raw materials. Instead, the focus has been on the most bioavailable and easily absorbed mineral forms, such as pure magnesium bisglycinate and zinc picolinate.
Using these mineral forms ensures high absorption in the body with minimal risk of stomach problems – a common side effect of many magnesium supplements.[1]
The vitamin D in ZMD+ is in the form primarily used in healthcare and the pharmaceutical industry, which guarantees maximum absorption and effect.
Content and benefits
Zinc picolinate – 7.5 mg/tablet
ZMD+ contains zinc picolinate, one of the most commonly used forms in clinical settings with proven high bioavailability. Zinc is an essential mineral that is part of hundreds of enzymes in the body and plays a central role in, among other things:
✔ Bone health and protein synthesis
✔ Testosterone levels
✔ Metabolism of carbohydrates and fat
✔ Immune defense and cell protection
Optimally dosed: ZMD+ contains a balanced amount of zinc, tailored for active individuals while taking into account the zinc we usually get from our diet. More is not always better, especially with zinc, which has a narrow side effect profile.
Magnesium bisglycinate – 100 mg/tablet
Magnesium is crucial for several important functions in the body, such as:
✔ Muscle function and electrolyte balance
✔ Function of the nervous system and bone health
✔ Energy metabolism and reduced fatigue
Magnesium is also necessary for vitamin D to function, as the body needs magnesium to activate and transport vitamin D. Low magnesium levels can impair the effect of vitamin D, while high doses of vitamin D can deplete the body's magnesium stores if the intake is insufficient. For these reasons, many people who take vitamin D combine it with extra magnesium.
Many magnesium supplements contain buffered raw materials where cheaper, poorly absorbed forms of magnesium are mixed in to increase the declared amount of magnesium. ZMD+ contains only 100% pure magnesium bisglycinate – a gentle, easily absorbed and bioavailable form of magnesium that can be taken in higher doses with a very low risk of stomach upset.
Vitamin D3 – 800 IU (20 micrograms)/tablet
ZMD+ contains cholecalciferol (D3) – the bioactive form of vitamin D that the body produces itself when exposed to stronger sunlight. Vitamin D is converted in the body into an active steroid hormone and plays a crucial role in, among other things:
✔ Bone health and calcium absorption
✔ Muscle function and recovery
✔ Immune system and hormone levels
The amount of D3 in ZMD+ is carefully adjusted to be effective even during autumn, winter and spring – when UVB radiation in Sweden is not sufficient to stimulate the body's own vitamin D production. The dose of 20 micrograms/tablet follows the recommendations of the Swedish Food Agency for what adults in certain groups should take daily in the form of dietary supplements.
ZMA or ZMD+
ZMA has been around since the late 1990s and originally consisted of zinc monomethionine aspartate, magnesium aspartate, and vitamin B6. It was marketed as a supplement to increase testosterone and improve performance, but the initial studies showing these effects were funded by the manufacturer. When independent research later attempted to replicate the results, no clear links were found that the ZMA formula increased testosterone levels or improved strength and explosiveness unless individuals were deficient in zinc or magnesium to begin with.
Today, many ZMA products contain other forms of zinc and magnesium with demonstrably higher bioavailability. However, a crucial component is missing: vitamin D – especially relevant for us in the Nordic countries where the lack of sufficiently strong sunlight makes it difficult to maintain optimal levels. Vitamin D, like zinc and magnesium, has many important functions related to physical performance, recovery, and overall health.
ZMD+ – A smarter development
ZMD+ builds upon the ZMA concept by combining zinc, magnesium, and vitamin D – three essential nutrients with around 40 approved health claims. All of these nutrients have important functions related to muscles, bone health, immunity, recovery, and the nervous system.
For many, it can be difficult to obtain optimal amounts of these substances through diet. The body's own production of vitamin D requires sufficiently strong sunlight, equivalent to that experienced at midday during summer in Sweden, while the need for zinc and magnesium is considered higher for physically active people.
Magnesium, in adequate amounts, helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, and, like zinc, it also contributes to normal protein synthesis—something that is crucial for muscles to benefit from training. Zinc protects cells from oxidative stress, and, like vitamin D, it also maintains the normal function of the immune system, which is critical since periods of illness are often considered one of the most common reasons for poor or lack of progress from training.
By combining these three nutrients in the right forms, ZMD+ ensures a more complete and effective solution that provides a solid foundation for anyone looking to optimize their health and performance.
