What people say about ZMA and mood
“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.”
“I was taking zma every night for months and I felt great. I ran out about 2 weeks ago and I noticed my mood dropping to a low.”
