i herd that ZMA helps release more testosterone. Is there any that will give you better deeper sleep, or better recovery, or help you release more gh. Im not to sure of these but I think ZMA is zinc magnesium and somthing esle right.

What are good ammounts of what suppliments to aid in sleep and recovery and or anything else good for you.

ZMA is supposed to aid in recovery, maximize (not really increase) T levels (due to a deficiency in zinc and magnesium) and help you sleep better, apparently a deeper sleep is noticed when using ZMA (although I do not understand how this occurs). To release more gh, l-arginine and l-dopa are supposed to be effective, as is glutamine. ZMA is zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B6 (or is it B12? i forget now)

definately Glutamine......i also take 1 scoop of whey protien,some people say casienate,(whey is best,no matter when taken, i feel)with 6-8oz on 2% milk right before bed,these 2 pretty important.

bigmodean, as long as ur mixing ur whey with milk (which has casein anway) then it's ok but you do want a protein blend as opposed to straight whey before bed as you want slower uptake of nutrients

Yes you want the Whey and Casein mix.

You could also look at GABA, raises HGH levels and has a mild seditive effect. It is no longer available here in the UK but you can probably get it over where you are.

GABA may work but you'll need huge amounts of it (a few grams )

I forgot, If you can find tryptophan it will defenitively help
