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.

The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and hear all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds. ~Henry Rollins

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.
