ZMA is a natural testosterone booster that can be very effective. Being deficient in either zinc or magnesium can actually have your test levels being as much as 20% lower than what they should be. Supplementing with ZMA will bring those levels where they should be.
That being said, if you are not deficient (which you can't know without a blood test), it won't do anything for you except help you sleep and potentially improve your skin.

Zinc Magnesieum and B-6 I beleive.... Helps you get the same nutrients out of sleep... Best to take before bed so even if you sleep like 5 hours that night, your body would have producsed the same nutrients you would have recieved if you had slept for 8 hours.. Dont quote me but it is def something a long those lines.

What I said is better, because that's why people take ZMA, because it can naturally increase their testosterone.
And I actually disagree with the 5 hours being like 8. I think melatonin works better for that.

I see. Well I can't be sure if any of those levels are low or whatever. I just heard it could help with sleep and test levels.
Do you think, presuming im not low in those levels, taking zma would benefit my sleep and test?
also, what brand etc do you reccomend and prices

There is absolitely no difference between any of the ZMA products, just find the one that's the cheapest price per gram.
And it will benefit your sleep, sure. But it will do NOTHING for your testosterone levels unless you are deficient in zinc or magnesium.

Ive found its helped me get a good nights sleep but thats probably as far as its uses go, get some crazy dreams as well which are always fun. Just buy the cheapest as someone said above and try it out.
