Default Re: ZMA

I gave this stuff another try Friday night. I woke up my usual bunch of times during the night, only this time I was all worked up about some stressful dream each time. This never happens to me if I don't take ZMA. I wake up remembering my dream like once every 3 months or so. Not only Friday, but it happened last night as well and I didn't even take any.

Since I've started working out and exercising a lot more, I've been sleeping deeper anyway.

Selling one mostly full bottle of ZMA to the highest bidder.

I can't figure out the ZMA love here. Does anyone know of a study (that is independent of any affiliations with Victor Conte or anyone else that stands to make a profit from ZMA hype) that shows ZMA actually works? I'm VERY skeptical that this supplement is anything but completely worthless.

The only studies I have seen are ones co-authored by Victor Conte (the developer of ZMA!) and this study, which disagrees with Conte's findings . Although to be fair, that study I just cited only tested ZMA on male, trained athletes, and doesn't comment on how ZMA could affect people with little or no training.

I'm willing to listen to arguments, as I'd love to add another supplement to my regime that I actually think works, but as of this moment, I just don't buy the hype.

It's going to help a small amount of people, most are very old and have poor diets. It never did anything for me whatsoever. I have however had good results with combo products that are zma and something to knock you out, like melatonin or valerian root but this is something more geared towards extreme recovery, like if I am sore and really need o rest up.

I noticed a much better response when I had worse sleep and diet. Now its much less.

is it safe to take zma with nitric oxide (NO) pills on an empty stomach one hour before bed?
