Answers:

Well my answers..

1) No. I've tried them both. Felt nada. Many agree that Trib is bunk. There's debate on ZMA. You can find resarch at Supplementwatch

2) Yes. 2 of the long list of benefits are

a) increased metabolism
b) helps burn fat

So taking fat (good fat) helps you lose fat. Odd but true.

Echoing what Marc said, there is NO EVIDENCE that trib does anything to test levels. Anyone who tells you otherwise is dead wrong.

Same with ZMA, it does nothing that zinc won't do alone, which is nothing, unless you are zinc deficient. There is no debate.

I thought I read somewhere that if you take zinc at night it helps promote muscle growth. I don't know how. I do know that it helps when you have a cold.

Yes, I am sure you read that somewhere. I have seen it dozens of times. However, because someone writes something false, and then it is rewritten dozens of times, that doesn't make it true.

Do you know who "invented" ZMA? Balco Labs -- Victor Conte. Yeah, the guy who has been indicted for conspiracy to disseminate steroids. What made ZMA big was that this was the big "supplement" all his althetes were touting....

That makes perfect sense! So zinc does really nothing for me to create muscle? hmmmm.

You know....maybe all of these supplements are actually hurting our growth instead of helping it. I mean I just read in a mag that just came out (Men's Health MUSCLE) on how to gain 20 lbs in 12 weeks and I almost laughed right out of the store! It says you can do it naturally, then it goes on to tell how this guy used growth hormones. IMHO, that is not natural because you are putting more hormones in your body than it needs. It said that genetics didn't play much of a part in building muscle. Now I know why everyone says these mags are a joke.

Hummm.. this was on the SFGate today. Check the hat.

Hilarious that Twin Peak would mention this and then.. a guy who's very close to Conte wearing a "hat."
