Just started is so no real input yet on ZMA. As for your other question, I wouldnt buy EAS or Muscletech unless you like to get ripped off. You can buy quality creatine w/out spending so much money. Try syntrax straight, AST, Optimum nutrition, etc.... I would do some searches before buying, try www.fitrx.com, www.nutritionexpress.com, or www.bodybuilding.com

ZMA is good, could just use plain ole Zinc Glucanate, just as good and cheaper. Bump on the Syntrax Straight...

I have used ZMA, but didnt notice anything significant (sleep wise) and stopped taking it. Celltech has a ton of sugar 75 grams, in comparision to EAS Phosphagen has 33 grams. I just started taking the Phosphagen HP. I did also buy EAS SytheVol HP, it has no sugar and is suppose to be really good. The problem is it tastes like $hit, most supplements don't taste very good, but this stuff is the worst. So for now Phosphagen HP it is.

Not sure about its claims to normalize test levels as I have not tested myself.
Word on the dreams, MRZAP!
I've been dreaming some really vivid, freaky stuff! I'm getting some great sleep though (I guess solid REM sleep would explain it?)!
I take Zinc, Magnesium and B-complex supplements individually before bed. I also take Melatonin and 5-HTP, too. Not to mention about 5 gs of Glutamine.
I truly believe this stack has cured my insomnia.

Magnesium is what helps you sleep, so it's probably the culprit for the dreams. Could add that in for a still really cheap ZMA clone...gsxr600 said:
Guys, I have a question. I already take a vitamin pill in the morning that has about 100mg Magnesium and 10mg Zinc. My post workout shake has about 7.5mg Zinc and 120mg Magnesium. And I was thinking of trying ZMA, after I read your posts that it helps you sleep and recover better. Do you think it is too ok or am I taking way too much minerals??
Thank you.
Thank you.
I take ISS ZMA about 3x a week and inevitably I wake up feeling like I've slept for 3 days straight. it's good stuff, but I think that it potentially might just mask the diet deficiencies from the days when I take it. Regardless, it seems to be a cheap way to feel more rested and to be honest I'd pay the $15 / bottle to feel this way even if it were filled with TUMS.

Yeah, this might be something you have to take into condiseration. The RDA for zinc is 15 mg I believe, but you can take as much as 50 mg without having any problems. Over 50 mg or so the zinc can affect your bodies ability to absorb copper, so you may need to supplement w/ extra copper. However, these figures were guestimated for a sedintary individual, not a hard working bodybuilder, whose demand for zinc is going to be higher than the normal individual. But 10 mg, 7.5 mg, and the 30 mg from ZMA should not pose you a problem I think.
As for Magnesium, from what I read it isn't really toxicty that is a worry at high doses, but rather loose bowels, lolol..........
Not 100% sure what the RDA for magnesium is though.
