Whats the word on this Zmass. I have seen the add's and they promise recording breaking mass in a few short days/weeks. It sounds to good to be true, but then again modern science is doing wonders these days? My question is how good is Zmass and is it worth the 30 or $40 I will shell out for it. Any good experiences? Any bad ones too? ------------------ IP: Logged |

i'm going to be real and frank with you. Obviously you didn't look down at the other link about ZMASS. We already established that it's a damn rip off. Do your research buddy and use your brain. All it is, is Zink, Magnesium, and vit. B6. If you have a hard one for these minerals go and a bottle of each for $2 each. You can just buy Magnesium with zink and it will do the same shit. But don't fall into industry and name brands, just go buy your vitamins and beat the companies that are trying to make a fool out of ignorant people. IP: Logged |

aspartame form? give me a break... since you're so smart tell me what aspartame is and what it does. b/c zinc is zinc buddy. like i said, if you want more absorption take more of it and save these people's money. Besides ZMA only works on people who are zink depleted, so take zinc supplement and you wont be depleted anymore... ok? by the way i heard the kid in the corner is selling aspartame for 50 bucks a pop, might want to check it out.

I've told everyone here before and I will tell them again. ZMA is another scam that testosterone.net and Biotest created with the help of Bruce Kneller and Bill Roberts. They are biggest scammers in the industry and more than happy to "steal" your money. You can get zinc and magnesium in your multivitamin--what the hell is the aspartate going to do? Nothing special! No secret formulas heres. Amazing how people can take a bottle of crud that's worth 50 cents and sell it for 50 times the cost. Buttplug phillips was good at this. New nicknames: Buttkid for Bruce Kneller and Buttrock for bill roberts. Funny how they all of a "B" in their first name. IP: Logged |

AsparTATE is an amino acid, Remarkably, 18 of the 20 common amino acids found in proteins lack any biological activity on their own, despite the fact that proteins are the quintessential agents of biological function. The exceptions are glutamate and, now, aspartate. Glutamate is a neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. Recently, studies by Yuzaki et al. demonstrate that aspartate can activate a distinct response in Purkinje neurons. Aspartame is NOT a natural substance! Aspartame is even worse for DIABETICS! (By 21 doctors, in my case!!) ------------------ IP: Logged |

what the fuck? so every company that makes a ZMA supplement (twin lab, Pro Performance, EAS) is fake? why is it getting so much rap then? Cytondyne (Zmass Pm producers) are a good company. they have only a few products and all of them are good shit, why would they put something out like Zmass that kills? is there a lethal dose of aspartate in the magnesium? just curious.

hey people if u take z-mass it's not the same thing like taking zink, magnesiom and vitamin b6. I used to take these vitamins seperated and felt nothing special but them I switched to z-mass and I put on some quality muscle and my recovery is alot quicker and I have also gotten more definition and also sleep better at night. maybe the reason is bcause of the other 2 ingredients in z-mass but I can't tell. But what I can say right now is that taking zink, magnesium, and b6 is deffinetelly not the same thing as taking z-mass not even close in fact.. BUt that's according to my experiences everyone is different .. IP: Logged |

You guys are so ignorant it's almost hilarious.... Okay let's go back to some basic science here first. ZMA is Zinc, Magnesium, Aspartate NOT Aspartame....big difference. Why ZMA instead of your regular Zinc and Magnesium drug store brand supplement? Well for starters, regular drug store stuff always contains CALCIUM (calcuim is always used as a binder for the other minerals) which actually blocks the apsorption of zinc by about 70%. So buying one of these supplements will do fuck all for you. ZMA does work however it's foolish to try and dupicate it with drug store minerals which are 20 years behind in binding technology. However ZMASS is shit. Why bother with it. Why pay so much for a couple of minerals Just take Zinc if you think you are deficient. I use Acetabolan-II. It has ZMA, plus Tribulus Terristris and N-Acetyl-Cysteine. (and Vitamin C). A far better formula if you ask me......and chances are you'll feel it work for you more, and notice higher libido than you would with Zmass or ZMA. I think it helps with high cortisol levels that rise during training. Rather than take it before bed I take it just before I train. just my 2 cents....but save your $$ on Zmass pm...and just buy straight zinc. Your daily multivitamin will take care of the magnesium [This message has been edited by Serial Joe (edited June 17, 2000).] IP: Logged |

Hi, I have read a fair amount of medical literature on ZMA. Note ZMA is not a proprietary supplement. Biotest do not have the rights to the ingredients. Biotest charge about �24 ($35-40) yet at a gnc store you can get it from twinlabs for about �11 ($16-19). The supplement is not to bad for a zinc supplement which is what it is like Terribuls another supplement relabel and overcharged. My best supplements would be Glutamine (good stuff) Creatine (ok for water leverage strength) and Anabol (amazing at what you get at the local GNC, almost as good as roids, he..he...) Anyway UK guy signing off...bye for now Peace bro ------------------ IP: Logged |
