ZMA

Great stuff. making your own is cheaper. 450mg of Magn. 30mg of Zinc and 50mg of b6

You have to take it a while (weeks) to notice anything. I get a good deep sleep. Great stuff. Will always been in my closet of supps.

i noticed effects immediately actually. i hadn't taken it in a few months and when i finally picked some up again, that first night i had some wild dreams.

thats another thing, ZMA may give you some crazy dreams!

sometimes my dreams are nightmares

What is it exactly ? It gives you higher quality night sleep?

Also, how do you make your own ? you say 450mg of Magn. 30mg of Zinc and 50mg of b6, but where do you get that stuff?

It does a lot more than just that. There's a link to the supplement review here: http://abcbodybuilding.com/nutritionsupplement.php?id=14&subId=35

On that page there is an article with ZMA in the title. Click dat one, yo.

They can be purchased at a grocery store in the vitamins/minerals section.

thanks alot ! First time in years I find such a nice forum without anyone flaming.. everyone's very helpful haha

[slackie911]

how important is the B6? i take 500mg of magnesium and 50mg of zinc (closest doseages i could find) but no B6. is it worth it to pick up a bottle?

[DirtbagDan]

Yeah, ZMA is a great supplement. I noticed it's effects immediately, as well. Better and quicker muscle repair overnight, and I noticed a day after taking it that my sexual appetite was increased ALOT, and that can be explained by the fact that ZMA increases your testosterone levels, of course. And with that comes better aggression in the gym.

[bucktheduck]

the B6 helps with the absorption process. Take it on an empty stomach.

I recently read an article written by Hugo Rivera and he put ZMA and Tribulus in the testosterone boosting category and said it's not wise for anyone under the age of 25 to take these because even though they are natural, if you are young you already have such high natural levels of testosterone and I sort of agree with him on this one. What do you guys think?

[AMonte]

I read the article on ZMA and was just wondering if you take it at any other time during the day as well as 30 minutes before bed or just then? And also do I need to take additional zinc and magnesium?

[bucktheduck]

just 30 mins before bed on empty stomach. I don't know about how much more you need. Ask a doctor? /forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I have the same concern too. I got a bottle of ZMA that I still didn't use even a capsule from, after reading the caution they have on the bottle for guys under 18.
