ZMA - feeback?

[Symbot]

Has anyone tried ZMA? Did it do anything to you? I'm already taking a good multivitamin with plenty of zinc and mg in it. Would ZMA do anything for me? It supposed to increase testosterone doesn't it?

It's zinc and magnesium. You can get in in any multi.

ZMA was nothing but a marketing ploy from Victor Conte of dubious notoriety.

I take ZMA every night and it actually helps me sleep better. No magic muscle building properties or instant testosterone boost, but it does give me a deeper sleep.

ZMA makes me sleep better. Like Nelson said, there is no science behind. You can get the same from a multi vit and mins. However, taking vits and mins before bed, could cause some sleep disturbance in some people. ZMA isolated at a specific ratio, seems to have sleeping aid properties.

That's just the magnesium, which is a mild relaxant. Though I think the actual effect is mostly placebo.

You can overdose on zinc, but most multi's are low in magnesium (because it takes up too much room). But some cheap mag. No need for ZMA.
