well i've read that ZMA is one of the few supplements that actually has some scientific backing on it. most males were found to be deficient in it, which could lead to lowered levels of testosterone . i've heard nothing but good things from people that have supplemented with it. now it's not going to jack you up like a shot of test, but it may help to raise your test levels a bit if they are lowered.

Consistency nailed it, the sht is a waste of money. Buy avena sativa instead, your girlfriends will thank you.

good advice...

for me, if nothing else, i seem to sleep more soundly when taking it...i get pretty vivid dreams, as well...but always wake up feeling more refreshed...

some say it works it didnt work with me.. so i just went to wal mart and picked up some zinc,magnesium and potassium and made my own ZMA for half the price..

Since its a cheap supplement I pick it up once in a while, if anything it gives me a better night's sleep....

I agree on the sleep aspect of it. I always sleep better on it. I'm not exactly sure why. I do think that it's a decent product because I do feel slightly edgier while I am on it. I take 3 at night right before bed. I think it is a lot more effective than tribbulus or avena sativa. IMO both of those are a HUGE waste of money.

I cant agree with that bro....Tribulus may be a waste if youre using it to increase muscle....but it gets the libido boosted like nothing else. Thre are plenty of guys who will agree with that.

ill agree with libido and Trib...very good stuff if used for a decent period of time...i used tribex and loved it.

I use the generic versions of zma(The kind with calcium in it too). I think I sleep better with it.
Its probably because magesium is a natural muscle relaxant.

I hope not...that is specifically what youre not supposed to take it with. They fight for absorbtion.

FM! Just gotta point out my mistake, huh?! Jerk!

It was too good of a price to care. I don't think its completely worthless .(My opinion, don't expect anyone to back me on this, its just how I talked myself into the impulse buy.)

About to sping for the half a kilo of calcium citrate, for during the day and to keep the blood pH from being too acidic. Should solve the problem.

Anyone try one of balco's first batch's of this stuff.
Word on the street is that there was a little something extra in there.

Hmmmm Balco....they're a very reputable supplement company huh.....ill have to give their new products a shot.

**baller45** · 03-10-2004, 10:06 AM

Lots of testimonies about the first batch being amazing, then when people
re-ordered...they got the results of zinc/mag supplementation.
Bet they weren't the first company to do something like that.

Exactly! I slept so much better when supplementing it, but it is expensive.
