i take zma. can't really tell you how well it works by itself because i take a bunch of stuff. i'm always tryin new stuff so i can help customers (i work at GNC). its supposed to help with restful sleep among other things and i don't really think it helps me too much with that. but i think its deff worth a try.

Hey SGT338;
There are some that believe by taking ZMA helps with their w/o’s but, IMO I don’t think it will help you anabolically during workouts. However, when you sleep deep, that’s where the anabolic aspect may come into play, because when one sleeps well that’s when your muscles recover and repair themselves. I’ve been taking ZMA off and on for a number of years and I take ZMA when I fail to sleep well. Although I only require 5-7hrs.sleep, by taking ZMA it feels as though I’ve slept for 8-10 hrs.and awake fully rested. In addition, my dreams are wild and vivid in color. Supposedly it’s the B-6 in ZMA that’s attributed to having wild dreams. Also, taking ZMA with diary products tends to decrease the absorption of ZINC and/or Magnesium.
ZMA should be taken 30-60 minutes before bedtime; however, there are ZMA products that allow one to take it during daytime periods, probably because Daytime ZMA has a lesser percentage of of the ingredients than Nightime ZMA.
Peace

i meant it helps promote restful sleep AMONG OTHER THINGS.
here's a brief description of its other benefits:
Hops and valerian which helps to promote restful sleep*
Zinc which is involved in carbohydrate metabolism, glucose utilization and insulin production*Magnesium Aspartate which is necessary for protein synthesis and muscle function*Vitamin B-6 important for its varied roles in amino acid metabolism.*

Hey dude,
I have taken it by TwinLab. It is supposed to boost testosterone levels 30% which I don't think worked. Sleep def. improved though. Take it 30min b/f bed and youll fall alseep really quick and have the best sleep ever. If you get about 6 hours a night it will fell like your getting 8. So I dont think it works to much for lifting but it def. makes sleep a WHOLE lot better!!!!
