No joke. Me, too.

Sorry I didn't see your question to my reply earlier in this thread. I'm taking the flax, omega, and fish oils to assist in getting my HDL up a bit and for joint benefits (real or imagined). I've actually cut back a bit on the fish oil and only run it on days when I'm going with very few carbs. The extra fat might be helpful as an energy source. But, honestly, it's all a crap shoot. I feel about the same as long as I'm taking my multivitamin and vitamin C.

works like HGC, keeps the boys nice and strong while on TRT. I swear by it, wake up with a circus tent every morning on ZMA.

I'm not convinced it's the ZMA that's helping you. I looked into it when considering options for my low T numbers and wasn't impressed by the research:

In 2004, a study funded by a research grant from Cytodyne (another supplement producing company) with 42 resistance trained males showed that ZMA supplementation had no significant effects on total and free testosterone, IGF-1, growth hormone, cortisol, the ratio of cortisol to testosterone, or muscle and liver enzymes in response to training. No significant effects were observed in changes in strength, upper or lower body muscle endurance, or anaerobic sprint capacity [3].

In another study done in 2006, a team of German scientists conducted a study on the effect of ZMA and testosterone levels in the body[4]. The result showed an increase in zinc secretions in urine making it much darker like blood, but no effect on the level of testosterone in the body.

I don't feel like it increased T in the body, I do believe that it helps to maintain normal function of T while using TRT. When I didn't use TRT and used ZMA, I felt more even, less of the lows. Frankly I don't know scientifically if it does what I think it does, however I can tell you how it makes me feel.
