Hi all

i recently was told by a buddy to try ZMA and GABA
he says he noticed gains from thsi combo

So I went out and bought some.

the ZMA says it is a testosterome booster. makes to produce more test and also more IGF-1

very interesting.

any thought on this stuff?

Does it work???

mostly just crazy dreams and body tingles from the gaba, but the zma has some research behind it. i took both but i dont think you will actually notice anything size wise. it is just going to be part of your pill regimen. imo

i like zma for giving good deep sleeps, which will make recovery better and raise your natural test and gh

I was thinking it might be something good to take while on a cycle.
no harm in trying :)

ZMA is basically a zinc magnesium formula that has better absorption than the regular forms with added b-6 which gives the freaky dreams. It should be a part of every bodybuilders supplement regimen. There actually was a study (don`t ask me to post it, don`t know where it is) claiming that 70% of NFL players were deficient in magnesium. However don`t believe into the claims that are made of that product saying it increases strength by 200 and some %...

I`ve been experimenting a little with gaba recently and it does help me fall asleep. Don`t know if it`s a coincidence but was feeling rather moody in the time I was using it. But that could just be related to other issues, can`t say for sure. I do use a shit load of other supps that affect serrotonin and dopamine levels, so there could be some sort of interacting not acting in my favor. Who knows? Either way it`s cheap to experiment with and is worth a try.

From what I`ve seen only in capsule form, not in bulk powder.

i've been using ZMA for as long as i can remember, its one of the few supplements i stand by. gives a great deep sleep and i find it increases my recovery as well, possibly just because i sleep so much better when taking it. bodybuilding is extremely taxing and depletes your body's zinc and magnesium stores, so its definately worthwhile to take.

I don't have any experience with GABA, so I can't comment on it.

ZMA is your best friend as a bodybuilder, don't ever goto sleep without it.

I've actually seen a bunch of studies which I won't post, but google it and it's Proven to work.

How many other sups can say that I can name really only creatine, and protein that have researchers backing it.

ZMA is great but dont expect anything amazing unless you are highly deficient in Zinc and or Magnesium.
