hey

im trying to replace my thorazine with a ZMA supplement

because I think its healthier

well I take a lot of workout supplements

and ZMA is zinc, magnesium, and b6

research shows that it helps athletes sleep and it also increases testosterone and balance hormones that are depleted during exersice

its take at night rite before bed , preferably on an empty stomach

my ZMA also has an herbal blend to keep the body anabolic during the night

anabolic means muscle building not muscle breakdown, for people who don't know what anabolic means.

I have 4 bottles, each bottle last 20 days,

but I haven't started taking it yet

ZMA is zinc and magnesium in aspartate form as opposed to the citrate form they come in for most vitamins. At night your body will start breaking down excess testosterone into estrogen and the ZMA breaks that chain.

I used to take it quite a bit when I was a competitive powerlifter and even though I didn't fall asleep faster, I slept better and woke up more refreshed than when I wasn't taking it.

Typically, most manufacturers will mix ZMA with tribulus terrestris (probably the herbal blend you mention). Tribulus can help increase testosterone levels in men and then the ZMA helps keep them high. Personally I always took the tribulus several times per day but the ZMA only at night due to my body cycles.

Oh, by the way, something I didn't mention. Tribulus really only works for older men who are experiencing a dip in their testosterone levels. It usually doesn't help younger men as they are dumping testosterone like crazy anyway.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
