Don't know. Try it. I picked up a bottle of EAS HP (new) 3 days ago to give it a shot. The guy at GNC said, "You'll really hulk up on it."
Each of the 3 nights I've been woken up with scary dreams right about 4 hours after taking it. Last night it was being attacked by wolves in a forest. Heartbeat was faster than 15 minutes on the stair-master.
Will keep taking it and see if it improves. The dreams are cool in a way. But being woken up ain't so cool. It's disrupts the secretion of growth hormone that occurs while sleeping.

Last night at 4 hours it happened it again. We were at this party. The PinHead and other Cenobytes showed up. It seemed like they wanted to turn us into monsters too. But they said they wouldn't. They just wanted to show us what it would be like. They hung two of us up on something like a clothes rack over a moving sidewalking. We were hung there by small springs attached to the wrists. In between us was a real demon also hanging. After awhile the springs began to cut into our wrists. We were beginning to get drenched in our own blood.
At one point I realized that all the blood was making the demons anxious and it wouldn't be too long before they turned us into cenobytes as well. At that point I woke up.
Kind of cool dream. But again, not too cool waking up at 3am.Last edited by Eye2_Man; 02-07-2003 at 08:39 AM.

Isn't the EAS kinda pricey? I use ISS ZMA when coming off a 1-Test cycle, cheap and effective.===

ZMA overdose?
I'm wondering if you can overdose on this ZMA after a few days? I have those weird dreams too and wake up a few hours before it's time and feel so tired. I haven't taken any in over a week. I might just use out what I have by taking it only just before the workout. I have to get my sleep. I've been taking creatine micronized and glutamine peptides and getting good results. We are so lucky to have such good supplements, however, ZMA may be just a little strong. Maybe I need to take only half the recommended doze? Your thoughts...

i dunno about EAS zma being expensive. i got the 240 cap bottle for 18.95.
So in reality, you paid 18.95 for the equivalent of 120 caps from another brand(like Optimum), and you're also stuck with calcium in your casules. When you compare apples to apples, you paid a couple dollars more than you would have by purchasing another leading brand.===

There's no calcium in the new EAS ZMA HP. They learned!
Also, check out Sci-Fit ZMA. It does have much more Zinc and Magnesium than EAS.===

ZMA
I definitely think ZMA is worth a try. I haven't noticed much in the way of strength or mass gains but the improvement in sleep is worth it. If you're like me you may not sleep longer, but the quality of sleep is much greater. I sleep a lot deeper and get better rest from it. As far as dosage, as with any supplement, always follow label directions!! I use Cytodyne's brand (called ZMAss). A one month supply which is 120 capsules is about $30. Hope this helps.

Is there a problem supplementing with calcium? Or just when you mix it with ZMA ?===
