What people say about ZMA and sleep
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
