NOW Foods Sports Nutrition, ZMA (Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B-6), Enhanced Absorption, Sports Recovery*, 180 Capsules

These ZMA capsules are a great supplement. I can speak for the fitness aspect of them but they have definitely improved my sleep quality. At first I thought that perhaps it was just in my head but after taking them for several weeks now I feel that I am more well rested in the morning when I wake up. It is also easier for me to wake up and I’ve found that I usually wake up on the first alarm rather than hitting snooze several times. I also feel that an unintended side effect of these has been an improvement in my mood. I definitely feel calmer and more patient especially when with my children. I’m not sure if I can attribute that to these capsules directly or if that is due to me feeling more rested. All in all I would recommend these. I purchased to bottles of the 180 caps and will definitely purchase more when I run out.

Taken just before bedtime, I see a noticeable difference in sleep quality. I sleep deeper, spend less time waking, and have more vivid dreams. I also don't seem to get sick very often, which I attribute to the zinc in ZMA. I HIGHLY recommend this supplement!

Took this ZMA at bedtime after workouts and I’m actually sleeping deeper. Waking up feeling less sore, which is a big win. The zinc, magnesium & B6 combo is solid. Highly recommend!

These pills are overall good, I take them before bed. I do notice that I have a better sleep without feeling foggy in the morning. The only part about these pills I don’t like is the pills outer shell is a little plastic like, but if you have no problem swallowing pills it’s not a big deal.

My husband and I both take this at night. Helps with muscle recovery and sleep. It is one of few that don't "repeat", meaning we don't burp up a weird taste after taking them.

I've bought this repeatedly, very reliable brand for ZMA. I know my body absorbs it well because if I take the prescribed dosage at night, I urgently have to go to the bathroom the next morning, haha. No stomach upset though, so that's good. Mild diarrhea is the only side effect I don't love, but other than that, very useful supplement for very active people.

the only zmas i buy

I've been using this product on and off for the last two years -- primarily during heavy training periods -- and I believe that it has really helped me. Taking these pills results in exceptionally deep, refreshing sleep, with extremely vivid dreams. And if I do wake up in the middle of the night, I will fall back to sleep almost immediately. I can say subjectively that I seem to feel better refreshed and less sore the next day if I take this after a tough workout. And interestingly, while I usually sleep around 8 hours each night, if I take these I'll wake up fully alert after only 7 hours. I am sorry to report that I haven't experienced the wonderful sex dreams reported by some others; I'll keep trying! A warning: I would recommend taking these at least 30 minutes -- maybe even 60 -- before bed. And only take them if you have at least 8 hours before you need to do anything productive. If you don't give them enough time, e.g. if you take them at midnight at get up at 5:00, they will leave you groggy and disoriented instead of thoroughly refreshed. And I can say without a doubt that these things are not placebos: I accidentally took them one morning instead of the supplement I meant to take, after a full night's sleep, and for the next 8 hours I could barely keep my eyes open. The bottle says to take 3 pills, but I've found that 2 of them is enough for me. (I weigh 165 lbs and concentrate on running; YMMV if you're heavier and/or a bodybuilder.) All in all, I highly recommend giving these a shot if you want better sleep and better recovery. I'm absolutely a believer.
