What supps. are good before sleep

[mrzap]

Remember not to mix milk and your zma as it will interfere with the zinc absorbtion. I have noticed totally different effects taking zma with and without calcium foods.

I havent noticed any sleep improvements with ZMA which is unfortunate since that's why I bought it.

ZMA = marketing hype
A homemade Zinc + magnesium + B6 combo will work as well
and, no, it does not raise Testosterone level

GABA : useless unless you take huge doses (a few grams)
forget it

Melatonin : works for some, no effect on others
Pretty good for jet lag
and there is no proven seconf effects if you take it on the long term (1 to 5 mg)

ZMA

I found it takes the ZMA awhile to have quality sleep. Valerian is great although sometimes it leaves me w/ a "sleep-hangover".
