This is the official version of ZMA® by SNAC Systems.

ZMA® is a synergistic combination of Zinc and Magnesium designed to maximize absorption and promote recovery from exercise. Zinc plays a central role in the regulation of cellular growth and tissue repair, as well as the maintenance of a healthy immune system. Magnesium is essential for the maintenance of electrolyte balance, energy production and normal neuro-muscular function. Because physical activity can increase the need for these two minerals, ZMA® is the ideal supplement to aid in their replenishment.

Formulated with vitamin B-6 to further enhance zinc and magnesium absorption and utilization, ZMA® is a powerful, all-natural dietary supplement clinically proven to increase growth compounds and (IGF-1) levels and enhance strength significantly greater than a placebo during a strength training program.

ZMA® is a registered trademark of SNAC Systems, Inc. patent pending.

Can help promote quicker recovery
Can increase strength and endurance

Review:
patented so all is the same so order here to save money. ive taken this for about 6 months and ive had nothing but a good experience with it i diddnt notice any ill effect by taking it with my last meal even if that was 600g of cottage cheese, the effects i have seen are the ability to train harder and heavier a deep peaceful sleep, a sence of personal well being increased sex drive (mind you i am 21 lol) and am able to hit personal bests every week the only bad thing is its realy hard to wake up after 10 hours as it tends to knock me unconcious its realy the only supplement i bother with (me personaly) and a good old protein shake in conclousion train hard take a good protein shake like impact whey and this and the rest will follow

Review:
The stuff dreams are made of! Literally!! I dream all the time but this is just amazing. It's like dreaming through a stadium size pa rig. The main effect I have noticed is that at my age (40) my recovery time has shortened and I can work much harder and for longer. I took them for one month whilst doing my normal 5 day per week gym routine of weight management and strengthening, and the second month of renovating a property. The renovations where harder than my normal gym routine. I flew through both. Each morning I would wake-up refreshed and ready to go. I also have had reconstructive surgery to my back so can be very stiff in the mornings but this product has reduced that. The only downside is that I am encouraged to work harder and harder, which is something I do to my own detriment. I have had to take ten days off to let my body catch-up with the sheer amount of work I have put it through in the past couple of months. I am now getting back to my normal gym routine and have started taking them again. They work for me.
Goes well with which Myprotein products:
I use Alpha man, Omega 3, and protein shakes. There is no noticeable up/down side to how they interact.

Review:
nice easy product to take, great to take, no horrid taste and effect of the caps was great. Also I found I had a nice deep sleep when taking ZMA but still woke up fine in the morning ready to start a new day of training.

charles townend (09/08/2011)
Review:
Be aware ZMA can cause hair loss. Extra zinc can do this plus the elevated test levels produce extra DHT which attaches to hair follicles and can cause them to stop working. Bald or big, your choice!

Laurent Constantin (06/06/2011)
Review:
Tried this for 2 months. All I can say is it seemed to have a slight effect on sleep in a positive way. But what I can say on the negative side is the instructions make it a bit difficult to take properly. To the letter, you must have it on an empty stomach, which means you have to wait a while after your evening meal, and it also means you can NOT have your bedtime slow release protein shake either. I think whatever gains there are to be had with this suppliment are undone by the mucking about with the other important meal timings. I've tried just taking these along with meals and other supplements but don't get any of the sleep benefits at all.

Review:
I found these really worked, definitely help to increase your gains - but as ever there's no substitute for training hard... One thing I would say is that these definitely induce a deeper sleep, if you (like me) have to wake up quite early in the mornings with an alarm, you will most likely feel rather drowsy... Waking up normally on the weekends I feel really well rested though. Recommended

Chris Mapletoft (26/05/2011)
Review:
Unfortunately all this product has contributed to is severe back acne. I bought this product off the back of reviews that said it helps induce sleep and gives you a good rest. But what I found is it get me awake half the night (taking 3 pills at 10:00 and not getting to sleep until 1:00)

Oliver Back (27/04/2011)
Review:
Best supplement out there for recovery imo; had some wacky dreams from it but also help to reduce DOMS the day after an intense session (i am a sprinter), has helped with strength gains and also as a testerone booster. Great value, great product

Oliver soul (12/04/2011)
Review:
Spot on product! Helps recovery and good test boost! been using this product for a while! The weird dreams are always a cheeky bonus too! A third of the price nearly with the exact same amount of ingredients compared to a competitor's i used to take. Will not buy anywhere else now.

Joseph Davidson (11/04/2011)
Review:
Definitely works, noticed an up in growth hormone levels for sure - felt more invigorated, probably more aggressive among other effects... The increase in growth hormone was more noticeable with this than with Tribulus for example. And it definitely adds to your gains in this way. HOWEVER, I found I got really drowsy with ZMA, was waking up like a zombie even after 8/9 hours. So I would bear this in mind, definitely wouldn't recommend if you struggle to wake in the mornings, or only sleep for a few hours each night.

Training hard and eating well! Hurricane XS, Alpha Men.

Review:
SUREEEEEAL DREAMS MAN!!!!! i get really strange sureal dreams when i take this before bed! which is why i dont take it before bed anymore, but if you dont mind been chased by zombie kittens all night while you sleep then this stuff is great! i would'nt say it helps building lean tissue so much, but the general health benifits from it are fantastic!! i was taking this all winter and didnt get ill once, when all around me people were droping like flies!! Stoped taking it for a fortnight,, guess what? FLU!! Back on it now and after 1 week im feeling back to normal again! it also makes me feel more alert, vitalised and happy!! you could just buy zinc from the supermarket or supplement store for less, but i do think this is far superior and would recommend it to anyone, body building or not. you need this in your life!!

greg watkins (10/03/2011)
Review:
In the way of growth and strength gains Its not a magic pill its not going to give you umpteen lbs off lean mass, EVER, anyone thinking so and marking badly because of this is deluded. For me this stuff helps induce better more restful sleep and has me waking up in the morning feeling fresh, not sluggish like i usualy do. I have a more positive outlook and feel happier which is probably just down to the improved sleep. Improved sleep = More energy + Better mood = Better work outs The dreams are nuts aswell, which is a bonus ....just ordering another tub

Cody Hawkins (06/03/2011)
Review:
Many people seem to be confusing these with sleeping pills, they often give you a deeper sleep however they won't make you fall asleep especially if you have trouble sleeping in the first place. Like others have said I've experienced many strange dreams but none of them have been bad. The product seems to do exactly what it says it will and that's what you are paying for so no complaints here

Limahl Taylorson (07/02/2011)
Review:
Been taking them about 9 weeks now Props- great price, did got me stronger and endurance also it did help quick recovery but nothing special. Cons- Gives me weird dreams almost every night , didn't gain muscle mass that much i train my muscles 4 days a week i only put on 2 lbs of muscle past 9 weeks with this is not that much at all. And didn't help me sleep i always wake up very tired. 2 stats nothing special

Review:
I usually have alot of trouble sleeping and since i've been using this i have been finding myself drifting off alot easier, which means i'm getting earlier nights and getting more out of my days and my training sessions, also i have to say i completely agree with Robert about the lead haha.

Mark Hodge (05/10/2010)
Review:
I have taken these for over a week and have experienced positives and negatives with this product. The positives are that I certainly feel more alert in the mornings especially after a bad nights sleep, it definately puts me in a deep sleep which inturn has improved my recovery. The negatives are that I struggle to get to sleep most nights as they make me feel hot and awake for a good 2-3 hours after taking them. If you buy them i recommend taking them a good hour/hour and a half before sleep.

Beau Bessant (18/08/2010)
Review:
Very good product, especially if you want to get stronger. Take an hour before bed and I noticed definite strength gains. To me its as essential as Glutamine or BCAA, want proof look up some of the studies done on amateur US athletes when it first came out back in 1997 the results are amazing.
Goes well with which Myprotein products:

I have trouble sleeping usually, so I popped a few of these pills hoping they would help. First night of use I had an amazing sleep, no weird dreams to report (yet) as some other users have experienced. Hoping for many more great sleeps! Only one thing; Do not sniff inside the pot. Phew! It stinks.

I have been trying this for a few days now and I can not sleep a wink, this stuff keeps me wide awake all night

Steven Bourgeois (21/06/2010)
Review:
Great product. My nights have definetly improved and I feel it has a positive effect on my health and strenght throughout the day. Just a word of caution: If you are sure you'll only have a short night, avoid it. because I feel really drousy (more than usual) when I take this on short nights.

GREAT (02/04/2010)
Review:
this has worked wonders for me over the last 4 weeks, just ordered myself more!.. i would recommend this to anyone great product.. much cheaper than other brands too! ....

Works for me (28/03/2010)
Review:
I have started taking ZMA for two weeks now my and sleep has improved a lot so i really think it depends on the person, for me it does wonders.\nsecondly i would like to congratulate Myprotein for their fantastic products and fairnes on the reviews sections, they are written by customers unlike \nSci-Mix where all the reviews are positive, and very obvious written by themselvs, i used to order from them,not anymore so Myprotein you just gained another happy customer

Keeps me awake (03/03/2010)
Review:
I've tried ZMA quite a few times now and i either struggle to go to sleep or i sleep then wake 4 hours later, i purchased a tub a few months back and every now and again i give it another go, same results none or very little sleep. again like some of the other guys i guess this is just not for me!

Opposite Effect (22/02/2010)
Review:
I took ZMA for the first time on Friday and Saturday night. It seems to have the opposite effect on me. It kept me awake half the night on both nights. And the times that I was sleeping, I had the craziest dreams ever ! I'm sure like all MP products, this is top quality, just not the one for me. Try before you buy I would say.

Try before you buy. (17/02/2010)
Review:
I hate to do this and very nearly didn't, it's my first negative review of a my protein product. I must be clear that this product was strongly recomended to me by my training partner and really worked for him as to not put everybody off. However I personally found it not only not working but actually having an opposite effect! I took them exactly how it read on the bottle and found myself awake half the night in a cold sweat! Convinced that it was a coincidence I tried again for the following two nights but unfortunatley with the same results. I had bought this product to help with recovery since upping my traing frequency but now think I'll just stick to good old my protein L glutamine. My advice is in the title of the review.

Not a thing (01/02/2010)
Review:
Based on the good reviews here I was very interested to see how these worked, especially as I'm a light sleeper. I have got to say that after 2 weeks of taking these as instructed I have noticed absolutely no change whatsoever. I'm sure they do work for some people, but I do wonder if it is simply a placebo effect?? I won't bother with these again.

Interesting (16/01/2010)
Review:
Im in to my supplements, so bought this upon reading reviews.\n\nIts only my second night taking them, and i took 2 tabs about 15mins ago, and for the 2nd night running, i feel like i want to throw up.... once the sickening feeling has passed, i do fall asleep well, and wake up refresed but.\n\nMan feeling sick for 15-20mins is pretty lame!

Moving up the weights (16/12/2009)
Review:
Been using the gym regularly for about three years now, I started on ZMA 2 months ago. I’m definitely moving up the weights quicker as a result, I’ve also noticed I’m sleeping better (deeper) which is always a bonus. \n\nI’m going to try combining with tribulus.....\n

Waste of money (13/07/2009)
Review:
Didn't really notice anything when taking zma, felt a bit drowsy after i took it but still fell asleep in normal time.\n\nDidn't feel refreshed in the morning, if anything more tired.

zzzzzzz ma (12/07/2009)
Review:
I started taking this brand of zma a few months ago and it helps me sleep like a baby. I wake up and feel raring to go. However, one problem i seem to have is when i come off the product. I find it difficult to go to sleep and feel lethargic when i wake up. Notwithstanding, this could be a mental issue or i could just be a lazy git. Overall i would give this product 5 stars. I bought this product to sleep and thats exactly what it did.

Almost too sleepy to write this! (15/06/2009)
Review:
This product seems to be one of the better supplements I take. It's one of those ones that I can't necessarily pintpoint as making a difference but it seems to be! I have difficulty swallowing capsules so I actually cut these open and empty the powder into an empty sports drink bottle, along with some orange squash and a little scoop of Taurine about 1 hour before bed. Then a few minutes before bed I have a small protein shake (as protein drinks can cancel the effect of ZMA). Generally speaking I have a VERY deep and refreshing sleep. The only issue is getting up to use the toilet a lot with all that liquid in me! But this does seem to trigger some good sleep.

Very good product (12/06/2009)
Review:
I have tried zma on a few occasions and noticed better sleep however i have tried this version and noticed some good results. I take it about 30 mins before i go to sleep and then have a milk protein drink right before bed because it says to avoid casein with zma. It takes me barely any time now to get to sleep. It is not uncommon for me to go to sleep and then wake up in the morning when i need to. Before i use to wake up a lot. I can't say whether it is helping me recover because i have taken a week off training so will figure this out next week. If it puts me in to a deep sleep though then i expect it will have positive effects on recovery which means it should help. Definately worth a try for the price just for a month!

cheap as chips (05/06/2009)
Review:
On my second week now, i take 3 capsuals before i go to bed. No weired dreams or any difference in the other depatment if you know what i mean..It does make you sleep like a baby..i take zma with tribulus, ive got alot more energy in the gym and recover better than before..freat for the price you cant go wrong

Review:
This is one of the best products I have used.\nDefinetly get a deeper sleep and my recovery after training is greatly improved.I seem to have less aches in the mornings which I reckon is down to the quality of sleep.

A gift from God (17/05/2009)
Review:
This product is amazing, I would totally recommend people to include this as one of their daily supplements. \n\nThe first night I took this, I [pretty much got knocked out for 8 hours straight and when I woke up it felt like I had only just closed my eyes. \n\nBefore I started taking ZMA, I had a mild case of insomnia however I was too young to be prescribed any sleeping medication. Why couldn't the doctor have given me ZMA? hehe\n\nI look forward to enjoying this product for a long time. Thanks Myprotein!

Not sure (12/05/2009)
Review:
Not sure if they actually work, but they knocked me out a treat when it comes to sleeping. Normally can only get 6hrs but these worked and help sleep for a full 8hrs. No weird dreams yet as suggested by other ppl

how to take zma (23/03/2009)

So far so good (04/12/2008)
Review:
Have been taking these every night for about 10 nights now. I'm not a great sleeper and the first night I took them was very restless and I kept waking up. Second night was back to normal, if not a little better. Some night sleeping right through which I rarely do.\n\nAs for other effects, which was my reason for buying. Don't really feel any different...

I'm impressed (25/11/2008)
Review:
This stuff is just very good FULL STOP\n\nSince taking this supplement I have been sleeping really well, most definitely better than usual, I'm also having some very weird dreams too. Waking up in the morning I feel good and have a sense of well being as some body mentioned - I really can tell the difference since using this stuff.\n\nIt's very good.

ZMA promotes Tetesterone levels, more test more strength, really helps you sleep too, i tend to have a shake 1 hour before sleep, and these 20 mins before with TRIB, this gos hand in hand.\n

Very Impressed! (21/08/2008)
Review:
Like most of the reviews here I felt ALOT better in the morning after taking these! Babies don't sleep as well as me after this! The only side effects I noticed was it looked like Zippos Circus had to come to town first thing in the morning! I felt abit strange after having a small night cap of single malt as well.....Made me feel abit like a Zoombie in the morning - the opposite to how ZMA normally makes me feel. I would say try it, you might like it! Similar to GABBA in effects but this is not legal in the UK.

I tired ZMA fully expecting very little gains from it but I thought don't knock something until you've tried it...........It's now made it's way into my permanent supplements. \n\nWith ZMA I feel alive, almost aggressive ready to tackle the workout properly. Great product!

Review:
Brilliant - aids restful sleep, good recovery and at this price suberb value. Have been using alongside myprotein unflavoured whey for a few months and have seen excellent gains in strength, size and recovery. Also had helped prevent wasting during lazy times. (all of us have those periods!)\r\nExcellent product and far far cheaper than some of the other 'flashy' companies..and no, i am not affiliated with MP at all!
