Zma?

[John G]

Benefits? How should I take it. 3 throughout the day or 3 before going to bed?

The indications on most labels tell you to take it on an empty stomach - before bed...but anytime in the evening is probably fine...

...and don't take it with any foods that have calcium (because calcium prevents the absorption of zinc)...

 

[John G]

okay

Do I take them spread out through the day, or just before bed.

 

[Stryc-9]

I would take them all together at once - I don't see any advantage in spreading the dosage throughout the day.

That would be a pain in the ass....and probably counterproductive...

Besides, ZMA is supposed to help you sleep more soundly...and increase free-range test. levels during periods of deep sleep....

...therefore...take all three caps at once....as close to bedtime as possible I guess....

ZMA = useless most of the time if you have a good diet

but if you really need ZMA you'd better take
Zinc aspartate
magnesium aspartate
B6

before bed
away from calcium

ZMA, IMO is crap!
just my .02

Let you know.

My diet could use some help. I am currently on 1-ad, and I am experienceing some insomnia. See if this helps any. Thanks Guys.

So you can buy the elements individualy?
Does it HAVE to be Zinc/ Magnesium Aspartate? Why?

Also is it good for Acne or bad?
