What people say about ZMA and energy
“So then I started taking ZMA since I read it does wonders for energy and helps ensure proper sleep. I proceeded to feel worse, anhedonic and basically depressed.”
“my sleep quality has improved tremendously. It's hard to put into words but I feel like I'm sleeping on clouds. I'm also sleeping fewer hours but feeling more rested in the morning.”
“High quality ZMA completely cured my insomnia...ZMA makes me tired in a way I haven't felt in a loooong time...just feel sleepy and want to go to sleep.”
“I have been getting somewhat deeper sleep and waking up more groggy, I believe due to the ZMA.”
