What are zinc and magnesium tablets?

Our zinc and magnesium is a mix of essential vitamins and minerals usually taken before bed to combat fatigue and tiredness.

Infused with vitamin B6 and copper for extra support, the synergistic blend is widely used among athletes or people who exercise regularly and experience increased mineral loss due to sweating.

All four active ingredients in our 'Zinc and Magnesium' tablets are essential, meaning they cannot be manufactured in the body and must be consumed through diet or supplements.

Each ingredient also has the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, contributing to neurological function. For this reason, zinc and magnesium are widely regarded as a bedtime supplement and are strongly associated with improvements in sleep quality. Besides brain support, Protein Works Zinc and Magnesium tablets also contribute to muscle growth, immune function and bone strength.

Zinc and magnesium benefits

Zinc: Commonly found in shellfish and other seafood, this powerful mineral also contributes to brain function and bone development. It is widely used in the cosmetic industry as it helps maintain hair, skin and nails. From a sports performance perspective, zinc has also been found to be an important factor in converting fats and carbohydrates into energy that can be used by the body, allowing your fuel to be used more effectively during a workout. To ensure maximum effectiveness of zinc supplementation, each tablet contains 30 mg/300% NRV (3 times the recommended daily allowance of zinc).

Magnesium: Magnesium also contributes to a wide range of physiological functions. The fatigue-fighting, energy-boosting mineral is often found in kale, legumes and seafood and is widely considered a nutritional powerhouse that provides a host of benefits to the human body. Each serving of zinc and magnesium contains more than half of your daily requirement and provides 150 mg of magnesium in its most bioavailable form (magnesium citrate).

Copper citrate and vitamin B6: For additional cognitive support and support against fatigue, copper and vitamin B6 have also been added. Both have benefits related to normal energy metabolism and help prevent fatigue. In addition, the benefits of B6 include supporting immune function and protein metabolism. Each serving of zinc and magnesium contains two-thirds of your daily requirement of copper (750 µg/75% NRV) and almost three times the daily requirement of vitamin B6.

For optimal results, we recommend taking three tablets of zinc and magnesium about 1 hour before bed to support sleep and testosterone levels

Why buy zinc and magnesium?

Athletes and those who exercise regularly are at higher risk of zinc and magnesium deficiency. This is because elevated minerals are lost through sweating, potentially leading to fatigue and reduced muscle function.

Our zinc and magnesium tablets counteract exercise-induced deficiencies by offering each ingredient in their purest form. When buying zinc and magnesium, it is important to consider how much is actually absorbed by the body. Recommended by performance nutritionists, Magnesium Citrate is known to have higher bioavailability compared to Magnesium Oxide; the form commonly used by other brands.
