A good protein source will have all the amino acids you need plus the BCAA's you need. Protein is made up of amino acids. Just find a good protein powder to supplement with such as syntho6 or muscle milk. ZMA is not a protein or amino acid its a mineral combination composed of zinc and magnesium.

Zinc, Magnesium, and B6....not an amino as Muscle Science has already stated.

extreme formulations ICE is one of the best but doesnt mix well and tastes like balls, I use Scivation Extend personally b/c i get it cheap and it tastes good also it has glutamine in it which I like.

you are correct that ICE is currently the best EAA formula out right now. i find that is mixes well in my shaker and the grape taste like grape kool-aid. it has a better ingredient source than Xtend but Xtend watermelon was the best tasting EAA product i ever tried.

sip on some EAA mix before/during your workout and throughout the day on a cutting cycle. take your ZMA before bed. other than that, the rest of your aminos and nutrients should come from mainly from food and maybe a multivitamin.
