Take DHEA in the morning. It can make some people a little restless so morning is best so as not to alter your sleep.
I have seen tribulus instructions say "take before bedtime", "take before a workout", "Take in the morning", "take in the morning and night". I take it at night before bedtime.
ZMA should be taken before bedtime and do not take calcium with it.
That being said, there is a lot of discussion as to whether or not the supplements have the stated amount of ingredients or any of the active ingredients at all.
A study of tribulus by another tribulus company showed that several of the more popular brands contained zero of the active ingredient. The study is on BB.com somewhere in the store section. It is an interesting read.
Also, some DHEA products contain less than the stated amount or even zero. Try to find a product that says, "pharmaceutical grade" for best luck.
In regards to ZMA, Victor Conte admitted to lying about his findings on ZMA and its effects on raising test levels.
All this being said, I have had great results with NxCare Nitro T3 which contains tribulus and ZMA.

trib,dhea,zma
I ve tried all 3 .Dhea is pretty dangerous if you take more 10 mgs of it everday although it did seem to have increased my libido a bit,but it was raising my heart beat and making me nervous so I've stopped using it.Trib seems to have increased my athletic performance quite a bit,but it was causing pain in my testicles and causing pre-mature ejaculation,also I noticed slight pain near my kidney are so I've stopped using it.Zma seems to have worked the best for me it has'nt caused any adverse side effects other than an occasional nightmare and a bit less sleep.I've noticed its increasing my libido a bit,and I feel physically a bit stronger.I would keep using this and stay away from trib and dhea as they look pretty dangerous to me

I concur w/Johny. Wasting money with the stack. I think you'll find more folk that got no results from DHEA and trib than those that have. And the science doesn't support the claims for either.
ZMA does help the sleep cycle and has some positive effects on test levels, nothing that significant if ou ask me, but worth it on a restrictive diet.My famous work quote:
I can live with a little pain and 18+" arms,
I can't live with the pain of having little 14" arms

I'm taking DHEA
balding. Wow that does suck and my bottle is just about gone. I found I was a little aggresive and lost my temper a bit at first but every everything seems normal now. I'll tell you if I notice a difference when I'm off it next week.
I ordered Animal Pak II and will switch to that when it comes.http://forum.bodybuilding.com/photo/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=112656

I wasn't going to comment and then changed my mind.
Before you start to fool with your endocrine system by taking a substance that could severely change your test/estrogen level or ratio, go get a blood test and find out if you actually need to take it. Just feeling like you might need it or it might make you gain or it might raise your Test levels is from my point of view folly. If you have proven low test levels there are lots of safe products available to raise it to normal under your doctors supervision.

But, under the name of "liberalism," they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."

before taking any DHEA, I did a lot of research and talked to a couple of people in the medical field (doctors). Yes, blood tests are recommended, but they agreed a safe upper limit was 50mg for an individual my age. I thought I'd try 25mg to see, but like lukamar said, a blood test should be administered.
