How many people take ZMA before bed?

 

[sawastea]

took it...

didn't find it too beneficial so I stopped

The evidence says it is a waste of money. One of the largest frauds on the suppliment industry. If you can convince yourself that it works, go ahead and use it though, the mind is a powerful tool. Personally, I find telling myself drinking a glass of water before bed will triple my rate of muscle growth, works just as well. The power of suppliments like zma is in their placebo effect, so actually its just a matter of believing it will work.

I took a few bottles of zma back in the day... didn't notice any difference in/out of the gym. One of them actually had some downers in it and really fucked up my sleep.

Be careful not to take a multi-vitamin with that ZMA, it has the same ingrediants in a different ratio. It will mess the whole zinc to magnesium ratio up, and you won't get that testosterone boost.

Cell Tech has been proven in clinical studies to be 1850% more effect than regular creatine for building mass. Just thought you guys should know that.

That`s good to know BBF, I`ve posted elsewhere on my lack of sleep problems and was pointed in that direction. As long as it works I`m gonna keep doing it. lol Whatever it is.

Then again, I have a hard time noticing small adjustments in my daily living/ training.

ZMA isn't bad to take gonelifting, its just overprices, when you can get the minerals in a multi-vitamin. I find 6 mg of melatonin works well for sleep. WHen you are training hard, sometimes its very difficult to sleep at night.

I take zinc and magenesium (bought separately, $4 for both), and it helps me sleep deeper (mental effect? maybe, but I doubt it). Deeper sleep is good for recovery. 6 mg of melatotin gives me nightmares like you wouldn't believe.

I have nightmares anyway, the melatonin just makes them more vivid and real. Better than not sleeping though.
