Has anyone tried buying the ingredients separately and making their own?

I was just thinking that you could dose the zinc higher. I like to get 50mg in, everyday.

i buy the ingredients seperately

zinc and magnesium are good for muscle repair and your heart
which is why i use it on-cycle along with a high dose of B6

I bought all three separately and dosed them at as high of doses as recommended by Dr. Michael Colgan's Optimum Sports Nutrition Book.

i love zma...and yes insane weird dreams...mostly about someone or something coming after me...but i do feel refreshed when waking up.

it wont raise test beyond normal but it will keep your levels in optimum range

plus it helps with sleep

yes it keeps your test levels where they should be, but without it you run a great risk of your test levels dropping right?

wouldnt really say a great risk.......

yeah i went overboard with the use of the word "great", but in a study, those that didnt supplement with zma ended up with lower test levels than they originally had, and those that did supplement with it had an increase of 30% in free testosterone or whatever you call it.
