Positive experiences
“The only thing that is affordable and has seemed to help me is ZMA. I only have the anecdote that ZMA seemed to improve sex drive, sleep, dreams, erectile quality when I first t began taking it at age 18.”
“supplementing ZMA, D3, creatine, sardines/DHA&EPA/other fatty fish works well for my health, sleep, and muscle gain.”
“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 haven't been able to sleep this well for about 18 years. I highly recommend you try it. This simple product has changed my life.”
“Melatonin and Benadryl's make me feel foggy, ZMA makes me feel well rested. It doesn't knock me out perse but it does feel like a deeper sleep.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“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.”
“It had a peculiar effect on my sleep not unlike many others have reported - more complex/interesting dreams, more refreshing sleep, and it seemed to make me slightly hornier when I woke up.”
“I have been getting somewhat deeper sleep and waking up more groggy, I believe due to the ZMA.”
