I've been reading about ZMA and I am still confused - what is it? Why can't I just pop some drug store zinc and magnesium? what are the supposed advantages of this supplement? Is it worth the extra cost?

Thanks you guys have taught me a lot through this board.

What is it? It is zinc aspartate and magnesium aspartate bonded together along with vitamin B-6.
Pop some zinc and mag.? Some people think you can get the same results that way or even just zinc alone. Zinc was used by bodybuilders long before ZMA came along. I have tried and in my opinion ZMA works a lotbetter,
Supposed to do? Raise testosterone and growth hormone levels. Does it?, I don't know never had tests ran but, I do know when I take it I seem to sleep better and recover from my workouts better.
Cost? Shop online it is only about $10-$12 a month.

Thanks Jimmy!

One of the women BBs here noted that GHFactor was one thing that really elevated her test level.

ZMA is supposed to up that amount as well as allow you to rest as you sleep. How? When you stress your body, either by work out or emotional stress, such as at work, life in general, you deplete the amounts of magnesium and zinc.

When the body is low with these two minerals, sleep is not easy. It can become a restless type of sleep. The body will only rebuild best when it is a good REM sleep.
