ZMA and weird effects?

[thefameinmyname]

Does George have any input into this heated debate???

Or anyone with a study or anything that can prove if taking ZMA is any different then taking Zinc and Mag by themselves??

ZMA =Zinc Monomethionine Aspartate

Very strange then that my 400mgs of magnesium from twinlab contains magnesium asparate.

Its amazing how brainwashed one can get from reading ads anyway, figure out this:

The problem with this is that most zinc supplements are elemental zinc coming from chelated zinc glutonate and/or zincpicolinate. This is NOT the same as zinc monomethionine aspartate. Yes, you can probably find a zinc-only supplement using this as well as a magnesium supplement containing aspartate, but it may not be easy. You'd also have to toss in 10.5 mg of VB-6 (not 12) as pyridoxal-5-phosphate if you want to match the formulation of ZMA.

Generally speaking, it'd be possible to make your own ZMA for less if you research enough and make sure you're getting vits that have been tested, etc. so the formulation is correct.

For me, I'll pay the $10/month for the ease of popping 3 caps before bedtime and know I'm getting the right stuff.

RealDeal where are you buying ZMA from for $10??

www.dpsnutrition.com

Do a search on ZMA & you'll get a listing of the products they have. I started with ZMA from ISS, but just got a bottle of Optimum Nutrition's for $10.89 -- same formulation, cheaper price.

Anyway, I'll be heading off to the doc tomorrow to get some blood work done. Incl. zink and magnesium, i've been taking 30mg\400mg for about one and a half week, so it'll be interesting to see the results.

I've got my zink and magnesium scores from about two years ago too, so i can compare the results.

I can post the results here when i get them if you wanna know what it looks like.

btw: its amazing how much good info you get on yourself from the blood lab. Its def. worth the 20 bucks.

Iam very interested in seeing the results, I should have done this myself before i started taking the ZMA, since i work at the hospital and can get free blood work done. oh well.

dreams

The dreams that I get while taking ZMA are so bad that I really don't want to take it... They are dreams of flying, spinning out of control.. everything is so loud and really... One time I woke up, and I thought someone was being shot in my room, and my bed was moving so fast, the banging was so loud, I covered my ears and tried to stay on the bed while if nearly flew out from under me... I call that weird effects.
