 Very satisfied Dec 15, 2011
By Zachary A. Miksanek
I bought ZMA because of recommendation from body builders and possible increase in testosterone effects. I take these guys before I go to bed and I wake up feeling extremely alpha. I'm energetic, pumped, confident, usually have a morning erection, and am frankly slightly pissed off. Is there a better way to start your day off? I don't take many supplements mainly just protein, multivitamin, L-carnitine, and fish oil. Whether its a placebo or not I've put on a couple lbs of lean mass since starting using ZMA. Physiologically its my favorite supplement to take for some reason.
As far as good side effects: Sleep. I never had a problem sleeping but when I take this I'm always out within an hour and my sleep is DEEP.
Which brings me to another side effect which could be bad for some people and good for others. INTENSE DREAMS. I have always had some vivid dreams and I love it but after taking ZMA it takes it to the next level. For instance, I took 3 ZMA tablets (30mg of zinc), fell asleep, and just woke up 20 minutes ago. My dream was the following:
I was in the hospital and gollum/smeagul was a patient admitted for psych issues. He kept putting the ring on and disappearing and then reappearing right in front of me scaring the hell out of me and pissing me off at the same time. He wouldn't stop doing this. I finally got so irate I proceeded to pummel him into oblivion and somehow one of my strikes made him literally explode. I was worried I was going to get into trouble but I ended up waking up and not having to worry about it..... couldn't make a story like that up.
Be warned... your in for a trip. It's a good one though.

Great product Nov 28, 2011
By dstewart1017
I often have trouble sleeping on days that I have a hard workout. The time of day I work out and the exercises that I do, don't seem to matter too much, I just can't sleep. After many nights staring at the ceiling, I started taking NOW ZMA, mainly as a sleep aid, not as a recovery tool. After a week of use, I noticed an amazing difference in my quality of sleep. I have used this product for about 4 months and sleep great.
few months ago local GNC was out of NOW brand, so I tried the GNC version and was not impressed. The pills smell and taste awful and didn't help me sleep. Now I just order NOW brand from amazon to ensure I don't run out.

What is there to really say, good product from a good company Jun 15, 2011
By Jeremy Monaco

ZMA works as best as I can tell. I take it with a casein protein shake every night before bed. I do believe it helps reduce soreness the next morning, and allows you to go harder especially for those of us who take working out to an extreme and borderline on overtraining. You should also look at L-Glutamine as a teaspoon of that in your casein shake with some ZMA is the perfect over night muscle building/recovery shake :) I am pretty sure ZMA is ZMA, but NOW does it at a great price, so I cant really complain :)

Love this stuff!! Apr 07, 2011
By Runner2183
This product is amazing! I am an avid runner and not only does this brand of ZMA help me recover from long runs and weigh training days much faster, my sleep has improved dramatically! I have had trouble sleeping for years and after taking this product for a week, I was sleeping like a baby!I also suffer(d) from irregularity, and since taking ZMA I am "going" like clockwork. I recommend this for any athlete looking to recover faster, or any person who has sleep problems.

ZMA for sleep Nov 20, 2011
By A. Tipto
"Paleo Reader"
I first read about ZMA on a men's fitness website...it was supposed to help the body's natural production of testosterone. Didn't turn me into to Schwarzenegger, but I did notice that I was able to get some pretty deep sleep cycles after taking it in the evening. Others have noticed this too. Probably means I was previously deficient in zinc and magnesium and so my experience tells me ZMA seems to be a pretty good delivery system for these minerals.
