I have had trouble sleeping last few nights. I took two sleep aids from the old medicine cabinet the night before, NOTHING, I took two ZMA's last night and slept like a baby, it was great and good for me too.

This may sounds dumb, but what is ZMA? I have trouble sleeping most nights that my husband is not home, he is in the military and only home one the weekends, so I really need to get some good sleep that I am now lacking.

Okay, another dumb question. Do you buy this as ZMA or just a certain mg of Zinc and Magnesium?

We get ours at GNC, I have never seen it at walmart. If you can order from the net, it runs about $10.00 cheaper

I just found it at GNC on the net. The Twinlabs one Strength Fuel sounds like the right stuff.

I found the EAS brand and the Cytodyne brand to work well, the EAS brand also has NAC in it which is a great addition, but the Cytodyne brand has fructose. It is chewable, so they had to add flavoring. I would opt for no extras, just the bottle that says ZMA on it, whatever brand.

Can women take this daily or should we take it on an as needed (for better sleep) basis?

Yes, you can take it on a daily basis, It is a mineral supplement, that promotes restful sleep, tissue healing and production of anabolic hormones. This is a great thing.

I have one more question about ZMA. Is it okay to take this in conjunction with Excedrin PM? My husband gets up at 1 a.m. on Tuesday mornings to go to work and, if I do not take something to put me in a deep sleep, I cannot go back to sleep when he leaves until around 4 - 4:30 am. I get up for work at 6 a.m. Today is the first Tuesday since I have had my ZMA that I encountered this but I did not it last night, I forgot to ask this question yesterday.
