Although phosphates are a natural part of the diet it is often difficult to eat enough to optimize oxygen transport. The phosphate buffers in ZV Max work by increasing the levels of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate in red blood cells. This weakens the binding of oxygen to hemoglobin, allowing more oxygen to be unloaded at the muscles when it is needed most.

Scientific studies show ZV Max’s exclusive phosphate formula could boost VO2 max by 6 to 12% and anaerobic threshold by 10 to 12%. In cyclists this can translate to 20% more endurance and an increase in power of 9.8% during a 10 mile time trial 1 and 8% over a 40km time trial 4. These changes don’t occur immediately and during loading it takes 3 days for the levels of phosphates to accumulate sufficiently to alter 2,3-diphosphoglycerate. Continuing supplementation allows performance gains to be maintained for up to three days, making ZV Max perfect for use during training to peak for important events.

Directions: To improve performance for a single day take 8 capsules daily (2 with breakfast, 2 with lunch, 2 with dinner and 2 with an evening snack) for three days before and on the morning of competition. Improved performance can be maintained for up to three days by continuing supplementation. Taking ZV Max too frequently makes it less effective at improving performance, so for maximum benefits at least a 6 week break between each supplement cycle is recommended.

Ingredients: Tri sodium phosphate, alpha lipoic acid, gelatin, magnesium steerate, silicon dioxide
