Bruhz, At first I was skeptical, but after doing some research put ZMA up there with Creatine as a supplement that actually works. To begin with, I have heard nothing but good things about taking ZMA to boost test naturally and get that extra rep or two out. I spoke to my physician and he noted that doctors recognize zinc supplementation will elevate sperm production and test levels slightly. I then spoke to the strength and conditioning coach at my school and found out that the whole football team takes ZMA as well as Tribex 500 by Biotest and they are having excellent results with it. I them checked out this website www.snac.com They actually hold the trade mark for ZMA and then licenses out the formula to all these other supplement companies who charge you an arm and a leg for it. Bruhz, add this to your whey/creatine/gultamine stack and I guarantee you will feel the effect. I did in like the first few days, it actually makes a difference. As far as making your own it probably wont be as effective cause Zinc and magnesium are bound with calcium which inhibits their uptake it the system. Just go with Biotest, it cheap and got the same stuff as all the other companies at half the price. Just my 2 cents. IP: Logged |

First of all, you should have read the other threads on this. It's like i said, this ZMA gets posted every other day. Ok first of all, you can make your own, you don't have to buy calcium with it. Go to your pharmacy and get Mg/Zn pills for $5. It's Mg140mg/Zn5mg. And the product really worked on zinc deficient people, not on people with normal zinc levels. The studies were done with people and they took out zinc from their diet and then introduced ZMA once they were depleted. Of course their test. would go up. And if you're in h.s. using tribulus at your age is probobly not a good idea. If you want more info do a search first. I'm not flaming you, I'm just trying to save u a little money, and try to get u to see how manufacturer's want to rip you off. From the people making vitamins to the supplement manufacturer's to the stores selling, they all preying on the ignorant. IP: Logged |

Bruh, I don't take that as flame at all, if you can help me get big that's all I care about! What brand of Zn/Mg should I buy, all of the ones that I looked at had calcium in them. By the way I'm 25, a college grad. The coach I refer to is at a D-I school. Would you recommend me tribulus as a supp, or was that bad advice? What king of l-glut/whey would you recommend. Right now I am using designer protien and l-glut in capps, but I keep reading that poweder is the better form for optimal absorbtion. IP: Logged |

Yeah don't buy the glutamine in caps, you have to take way to many of them, go to kilosports.com, cheap cheap!! About the ZMA, I was looking for Zinc and Mg seperate but on the ZMA bottle it said Zinc Acetate, and Mg Acetate. And seperately I could only find Zinc (something that starts with a C I think) Does this make a difference?? IP: Logged |

forget about the acetate or aspartate or whatever other funny names they put next to it. The main ingredient that will raise your test is Zinc. The Mg is just for possible better sleep and it has something to do with your nerves that you don't have to worry about till you're 50. The B6 in there is supposseably for better absorption. Personally you don't need it. Do not take the ones with Calcium in it. Ok i bought 2 bottles. 1 with just zinc, it was 50mg and i split it in two pieces, so i take 25 mg before sleep. 2 Second bottle was Mg/Zn and that was it, no Calcium. What these people try to do is put B6, "Oh yeah better absorption" that's b.s. you could take a slight higher doseage if you feel you're not absorbing it all, but you will. As long as you're not taking with calcium you're ok. They try all these gimmicks to get you to buy it, it's not worth it. L-glutamine is great for recovery Creatine is good for a bit of size Tribestan i never heard of it putting on size, but for raising test levels after you do prohormones or roids. Protein, i recommend you go to protein factory.com and check them out. You need 1.5g per pound of weight. Flaxseed oil very good supplement, look into it. There's a lot of things you can do for size but number one is #of calories you're consuming. Make sure also you don't exercise on empty stomach, eat something light, i make my bro. eat peanut butter and jelly sandwich right befor gym so he wont burn at his muscles. Oh yeah also before you sleep, drink a shake. Very important. You could put some flax in your protein shake so it takes longer to absorb, if no flax, just add some peanut butter. Hope this helps a little, IP: Logged |
