“Cistanche I actually take before bed as I find it most optimal for better sleep as well.”

“cistanche really helps my mood, sleep seems fine, but I wake up the next day very lethargic.”

“It is from cistanche, I guarantee you. I have noticed it suppress appetite as have many others!”

“ND's full spectrum cistanche. It makes me feel like the Hulk, but I unfortunately become a dickhead on it ONLY towards my wife.”

“It's an amazing sleep aid! This stuff gets me the best sleep out of everything I've tried.”

“cistanche is the only thing I had to stop taking because it worked too well...cistanche is the only thing that made me horny all the time.”

“This is the first one that noticably worked... my libido was going crazy too and I generally felt energetic and felt calm and positive”

“Cistanche Is where I derive drive for life...Cistanche gives me energy, stamina, endurance, stress relief, increases in positive mood, memory”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Ashwaghanda, L-theanine, ZMA, and valerian root helped me stop marijuana cold turkey without a single time waking up in a cold sweat.”

“However, I sleep like a baby when I take ZMA at night.”

“I've found zma before bed helps my sleep and perceived muscle recovery symptoms.”

“I stack ZMA, theanine and taurine before bed. First time with ost it will be 5ish days before sleep is normal again.”

“I have been getting somewhat deeper sleep and waking up more groggy, I believe due to the ZMA.”

“These days I just take a decent ZMA (magnesium, zink, b6 supplement) before bedtime. (It's only been 1 day since i got my ZMA, but I've had an improvement)”

“ZMA is much better than just magnesium. This is basically all I use at the moment.”

“I also take alcar, alpha lipoic acid, choline, and pqq, but... there is some difference with these, but not as major as with CoQ10.”

“ALCAR+alpha lipoic acid works as well as Adderall. Actually, it's a bit better for me—it wears off more slowly and doesn't interfere with sleep the way Adderall does.”

“ALA fixed the issue almost instantly, so I usually don't take ALCAR without the ALA.”

“R-ALA - has shrunk keloids that I was told would never go away and helped with general over all MS body pain”

“OptimALA and NA-RALA - I felt this was helping also but dont know about mercury redistribution”

“I read alot about alpha lipoic acid with carnitine and coq 10, and fish oil being important, though I never noticed any improvement”

“I've been getting a lot of energy with ~2000mg ALCAR and (IIRC) 300mg ALA, alpha-GPC, 50 mg p5p, and a curcumin/piperine cap”

“when I used to take a large dose, ALA helped me feel less cracked out”

“some things that helped me get over chronic fatigue ... alpha lipoc acid”

“For the mitochondrial stuff I recommend ALA along with ALCAR and Coq10...it's insane how well it works.”

“It really helps prevent redness and gives me a clear complexion.”

“For me personally, taking ALA really helps with that crash.”

“Alpha Lipoic Acid: Maybe improved my neuropathic pain”

“Alpha Lipoic Acid gives me crazy crazy headaches. and i suffered enough until i figured it out.”

“ALCAR/ALA allows endogenous GABA to cross the BBB, it's working quite well for me.”

“For nerve pain and repair, check out alpha lipoic acid and palmitoylethanolamide. I've had a few bouts of nerve damage over the years. The last time, I started using both and holy shit did that help.”
