Status: offline 		i read somewhere that 60-80% of american males are deficient in ZMA and by taking ZMA on a regular basis, it can in fact help increase testosterone by up to 30%.

the hard part is finding time right before bed to take it on an empty stomach...my stomach is NEVER empty

Status: offline 		I take my before bed and sometimes i take a cytogainer 30 mins before i take the ZMA. I really feel like I sleep good, not that I had a problem before, but when i wake up, Im more refreshed, alert, and focused.. I think it helps with stage 4 sleeping by helping your body stay in stage 4 longer, and this is the stage when your body recovers. I've noticed that I my workouts are more intense yet I'm not as sore as I expected.

Status: offline 		i take the zma approx. 1 hour before i go to sleep, than i take the muscle milk right before i go to sleep.  i found out that magnesium helps the body absorb calcium, maybe thats why they shouldnt be taken together, cuz maybe you will absorb to much and get kidney stones
