NOW Foods Sports Nutrition, ZMA (Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B-6), Enhanced Absorption, Sports Recovery*, 180 Capsules
$25.95
ZMA is a combination of zinc, magnesium and vitamin B-6 designed to maximize absorption and to promote recovery from exercise.* Zinc plays a central role in the regulation of cellular growth and tissue repair, as well as the maintenance of a healthy immune system.* Magnesium is essential for the maintenance of electrolyte balance, energy production and normal neuromuscular function.* Because physical activity can increase the need for these two minerals, ZMA is the ideal supplement to aid in their replenishment.*

Helps with recovery and sleep
I’ve noticed an improvement in muscle recovery, energy, and better sleep since taking zma. This is my third bottle and I intend to keep ordering. Price is more than fair.

Overall good!
These pills are overall good, I take them before bed. I do notice that I have a better sleep without feeling foggy in the morning. The only part about these pills I don’t like is the pills outer shell is a little plastic like, but if you have no problem swallowing pills it’s not a big deal.

Chelated
Mineral supplements in general do not absorb well if they are not chelated to something like an amino acid. The ZMA is not labeled as “chelated” – however if you review the list of ingredients it contains Magnesium Aspartate which is chelated. There are two forms of zinc: Zinc aspartate and Zinc Mono-L-Methionine – both chelated.Taking a mineral that is not chelated – for example magnesium oxide – is fairly useless as little to none of it is absorbed.I take many supplements and have taken ZMA intermittently under times of increased stress. Zinc and Magnesium are two of the many minerals in which most people are deficient. Zinc in particular is very important in supporting the immune system. Magnesium is important for a slew of cellular functions in the body. I cannot say that I notice any particular symptom when I add these to my supplement regimen, but they are very important minerals. I do take a chelated multimineral supplement on a daily basis which does contain a small amount of zinc.Given the pandemic of the novel coronavirus, I have just ordered a new bottle and will be taking the full recommended dosage until this pandemic is under control. The goal being to better support my immune system.As an aside, it seems that many people consider this to be a sleep aid. It is not advertised as such. Magnesium is a natural muscle relaxer and helps tremendously when taken regularly by people with migraine headaches. If you are looking for a sleep aid – consider 5-HTP – excellent – precursor to melatonin but works much better in my opinion. Velarian is very good as well – but BEWARE – it smells like you stepped in doggy doodoo.

Deeper Sleep, Better Recovery
I’ve been using this product on and off for the last two years — primarily during heavy training periods — and I believe that it has really helped me.Taking these pills results in exceptionally deep, refreshing sleep, with extremely vivid dreams. And if I do wake up in the middle of the night, I will fall back to sleep almost immediately. I can say subjectively that I seem to feel better refreshed and less sore the next day if I take this after a tough workout. And interestingly, while I usually sleep around 8 hours each night, if I take these I’ll wake up fully alert after only 7 hours. I am sorry to report that I haven’t experienced the wonderful sex dreams reported by some others; I’ll keep trying!A warning: I would recommend taking these at least 30 minutes — maybe even 60 — before bed. And only take them if you have at least 8 hours before you need to do anything productive. If you don’t give them enough time, e.g. if you take them at midnight at get up at 5:00, they will leave you groggy and disoriented instead of thoroughly refreshed. And I can say without a doubt that these things are not placebos: I accidentally took them one morning instead of the supplement I meant to take, after a full night’s sleep, and for the next 8 hours I could barely keep my eyes open.The bottle says to take 3 pills, but I’ve found that 2 of them is enough for me. (I weigh 165 lbs and concentrate on running; YMMV if you’re heavier and/or a bodybuilder.)All in all, I highly recommend giving these a shot if you want better sleep and better recovery. I’m absolutely a believer.
