And David said, "The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." And Saul said to David, "Go, and may the Lord be with you." (1 Samuel 17:37)
Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and he struck the Philistine and killed him; but there was no sword in David’s hand. (1 Samuel 17:50)

No Side Effects.
I don't think the minerals give you a boost. Its more that its replenishing Zinc and Magnesium (which bodybuilders deplete easily through lifting). Therefore it puts you back to a normal (Read: Recovered) body state. I also believe that these minerals have soem play in Testosterone production. I grow much more facial hair while sleeping with ZMA then when I'm off it.You can only build a strong brick house one brick at a time.

I've been on ZMA for a week now, and I feel great! I take 3 30 minutes before bed on an empty stomach, and i wake up feeling like I could run a marathon. I wake up with my eyes wide open and feeling refreshed.
Morning wood gets old though... this thing makes ur morning boners last for like 30 minutes lol. But i also I noticed (not to be crass) but your testosterone goes up (harrier legs and increased semen production for me) I like it and it's great. Im about to order another bottle soon.

Jesus, some of you are only 14-15 taking ZMA. WTF. You guys do realize that you dont need a test booster at that age right?

FYI: Zinc 'upper limits' are actually established at rather low levels (may be as low as 40-50 mg). We all may need to be cautious is taking ZMA regularly:

its only a dietry supplement if u only take one a day ur not going to get side Effects except the fact u get damn good hardons , oh yes and the fact that the vitamin b6 helps to retain the testosterone that is normally produced in ur body , for a bit longer than usual, may just help with that and the 2 metals will help with blood circulation and the oxygen flow to the muscles hence the extra stamina, though not necessary any extra growth......ENJOY!!!! by the way i know they help with the better...er sex life as my bf was a bit crap for yrs hehe but 3 days after taking them he was ......god wat can i say mm..mm

well first thing i want to say is that the people saying that 'some reactions are not true cuz i dont have them' are just plain ignorant, some people might have an allergy or sensitivity where as other people dont, many people have allergies to high levels of zinc. Just like some people are allergic to latex and others arnt... DOESNT MEAN THE ALLERGY OR SENSITIVITY DOESNT EXIST freakin numbnuts, but anyways.
I noticed that i had developed hives but thought nothing of it, but a few days later it got bad and the areas where it started had increased, especially the arms, knees, and ears, i had dropped back on taking it had started to clear but still had minor areas for several days, next day i had dropped it completely and guess what, absolutely nothing on me.
if testosterone boost is what you are looking for ive had the some if not better results with tribulus and pink magic together (in the right doses for stacking, dont be dumb)Jonesy
