The extra ingredients won't hurt. The only thing you want to avoid is taking calcium at the same time since it blocks the zinc. No calcium 2 hours prior and 30 mins post.

I use Optimum Nutrition's ZMA formula every day. It has the the following active ingredients:

Zinc: 30mg
(as monomethionine and aspartate)
Magnesium: 450mg
(as aspartate)
Vitamin B6: 10.5mg
(as pyridoxine HCl)


You can get a 60 day supply ( 180 caps ) for $21 at ***************.com

I have had good results with this product and I would recommend it for anyone wanting to use a ZMA product.

Are you talking about better sleep, or does it have an anabolic effect that you have noticed?

I take it mainly for the better sleep, which it definitely does help with.

I honestly haven't noticed any significant anabolic affect from it, but I always use it when contest dieting just in case I get a little boost.

Every little bit helps.

It's very inexpensive and, if nothing else, the better sleep definitely helps.

In the article by Flex Wheeler in Muscular Development, Flex sits down and has a talk with the creator of ZMA, Victor Conte and how he tested Bodybuilders and football players to see how depleted they were and found a vast % of them were overly depleted in Zinc and Magnesium. It is an interesting read. ZMA is suppose to help with the stress the body puts on itself during intense times, so it is a good supplement for the bodybuilder and sports player. Also many people don't get enough of these ingredients in their everyday lives, and it is cheap. So I suggest it.

ZMA is a great product. I prefer Sci-fit's GHT Stack. Restful sleep benefit is awesome.

Question... I take calcium caseinate and whey at night... So if I get ZMA I couldn't use it at night....

How about taking it in the morning... Would I still get some of the beneficial effects.

Hey s_c;

I don’t think ZMA 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 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. Something I don’t experience in normal sleep dreams and not only that, but in my ZMA dreams I see faces of people; whereas, in my normal dreams I do not. Weird. Supposedly it’s the B-6 in ZMA that’s attributed to having wild dreams. Also, when taking ZMA with diary products tends to decrease the absorption of ZINC.

Peace
