Any advice on supplementing with just Zinc and Magnesium, instead of ZMA. Also I saw this guy at the gym putting something on his Abs and Forearms that resembled a roll on deodorant, was this most likely transdermal Magnesium?

It was probably deodorant...
Just be sure to take Magnesium at night, within a couple hours from bed time.

Thanks, not deodorant though. It was a roll on and then rubbed in, in between sets. He was explaining it to a few of the new guys at the gym and I never got around to asking. Anyway, so take the zinc and magnesium before bed like I would ZMA, correct? Any particular mg

The reason I brought up transdermal magnesium is I googled it for bodybuilding and it fit the description however the info resembled a snake oil add and I was curious if anyone had ever heard of this

Does magnesium make a person sleepy brother?
I've Ben taken 200 mornings 200 before bed.. I ll switch to 400 before bed.

Not exactly. But it's a muscle relaxer. so I always recommend that it's taken at the end of the day (if you're using impactful doses). So in essence, it can help with sleep.

Good info Austin...I never knew this about Magnesium. I've always taken 400 a day. 300 in the morning & 100 at night. Thanks

Good input... Any particular time of the day I should work in zinc

Not really. I prefer to get it out of the way in the morning alongside copper.

Taken orally before bed it can help you relax and sleep. Are you sure his roll on was zinc?

No I thought maybe magnesium....when I googled "roll on supplements for weightlifting" transdermal magnesium therapy kept popping up. I haven't seem him back since so I can't ask... Oh well very odd though
