    ZMA & Cottage Cheese?

    I was eating cottage cheese just before bed but since ive ordered ZMA which they suggest to take on a empty stomach before bed.

    Anyone out there have a idea to avoid this problem? And is it really good for you to go to bed on a empty stomach?

    Thanks.
    Keep Rockin!

    Best way would be to take it 30min before your cottage cheese.

    I would argue with you and say 30 minutes is more then sufficient but your SNAC! lol

    I really hope that was a typo and you ment to say 30-45 minutes cause for the past few months I've been doing 20-30 minutes taking ZMA then casein/whey/pb shake then bed...

    do not take zma with calcium/dairy products. it will affect/effect(??) the absorption of the vitamins.

    The reason to take REAL ZMA on an empty stomach or along with food free of calcium is so you'll get the drowsy effect from the magnesium. You'll still absorb and use the zinc monomethonine. If you take ZMA with calcium meal or supplement, magnesium's potential to absorb rapidly and induce sleepiness is far far less. The empty stomach helps speed the absorption nonetheless.

    Not to mention that the forms are important in regards to their competition ... This is what Albion Labs (a leader in mineral chelating research and manufacture) has to say about it ...
    "It is true that Zinc/Calcium/Magnesium salts will compete for absorption in the intestine. BUT only salts, i.e. Magnesium Oxide, Zinc Citrate etc. When we look at say Zinc Monomethionine for example it compromises 20% Zinc and 80% L-monomethionine. You can now see the science behind chelated minerals and why they are so effective."
    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
