zma supplment?

jayvee151 Posts: 62 Joined: 2005/04/14	2006/08/27, 06:48 AM I was looking through supplments and i came across zma, it says its used by olympic medalist bla bla bla...but they all say that. I was curious if anyone knows anything about it? It also assure me of no side affects. And it WILL boost my testerone levels? Well i searched and found nothing, has anyone used this, or are using it??

What is it and where does it come from? ZMA is a scientifically designed anabolic mineral formula. It contains Zinc Monomethionine Aspartate plus Magnesium Aspartate and vitamin B-6, and is an all-natural product that has been clinically proven to significantly increase anabolic hormone levels and muscle strength in trained athletes. BodyBuilding.com I don't know a whole lot about supplements but I've tried some and I really don't ever see a huge difference. I just stick with my multi, extra C, and flaxseed. The choice is yours. Personally, I choose not to mess with anything that claims to mess with my hormone levels.

The ZMA/testosterone link was a study put out by none other than Victor Conte, if anyone remembers, the BALCO group. He was pimping his designer steroid as ZMA for a cover. Zinc in older folks has been shown to increase tests levels, but these are deficient older people. Zinc works by default, by helping to regulate E levels, which will naturally increase test levels somewhat. -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!
