Posted by Chris on Oct 31, 2010 in Supplements | 0 comments

Zinc Monomethionine Aspartate, Magnesium Aspartate and Vitamin B-6 are a popular combination in many supplements. Obviously the easier name is ZMA and is what most companies call their particular products. ZMA is a natural testosterone booster. It has been used for a long long time and has been through many scientific studies with pretty solid results.  ZMA does not simply increase your testosterone in fact it actually increases your FREE testosterone which is the testosterone that has not been bound and helps with muscle development. There have also been studies that show ZMA actually increases your IGF-1 levels which is a great natural aid to your strength training. There have been zero side effects from taking ZMA as far as a I can tell and it also helps you get a deeper more relaxing sleep. ZMA is usually taken at night 30-60 minutes before bed on an empty stomach. The usual dosage for males is 30mg Zinc, 450mg Magnesium and 10.5mg B-6. Zinc is a very important mineral to bodybuilders/weight lifters because after a workout our Zinc stores are usually depleted. By adding Zinc back into your system you enable more protein synthesis to occur at a faster rate which means faster recovery and better results! Obviously it is highly recommended that you take plenty of Protein (Whey + Casein) since your body will be able to put it to good use.  Read more here...

It has been quite a few years since ephedrine was banned from dietary supplements, the ban upset a lot of people since many of the studies have shown ephedrine to be safe when used properly. Most of the reports I have read about deaths due to ephedrine relate to people who took more than double the recommended dosage. There is a great site that has a ton of information on the EC, here is the link hotnfit.com. I am not a health professional, nor am I condoning the use of ephedrine, what you do with your body is your decision I am just providing some info on the subject.  Read more here...
