Optimum Nutrition Muscle Recovery and Endurance Supplement for Men and Women, Zinc and Magnesium Supplement, 90 Count

Great for right before bed
The magnesium helps to support sleep and a lot of other essential functions in our bodies. Zinc is important for keeping us from getting sick. B6 also supports a lot of functions and is important to not become deficient.An added benefit of this combo that isn’t talked about much is that it seriously increases your semen output for men.Like Frank Thomas says: “she’ll like it too *wink*”

Important for Quality of sleep!
I love these pills!I have been taking these for at least 3-6 months now. And I find that I have a BETTER quality sleep with these. I wouldn’t say that they make me feel sleepy whatsoever… I have to do things earlier in the day and change my diet to want to fall asleep sooner. But I find that I feel more refreshed with these.I don’t feel like I am missing out on something.When I don’t take these, I feel like I had the worst night’s sleep even if I did get 8 hours.I am an athlete that plays sports about 2-3x a week (pickleball, volleyball and softball). And then I also work out 5x a week.I will tell you that the SIZE of these pills are a bit bigger… so prepare to swallow. These are capsules. So I would NOT recommend cutting into these pills as the ZMA formula will spill out and you will not get the right dosage.

Recovery and Nothing More
Optimum Nutrition is the best supplement provider on the market. In the health industry companies and brands come and go like the seasons, but ON always remains. They make great, affordable, supplements that work and don’t add any junk or fillers. This company is best known for their whey isolate and it really is the gold standard for weight lifters and competitors. They also make a very good ZMA, Amino Energy and Creatine supplements. I know that when I buy ON products I’m getting a quality product that won’t taste like garbage. If you’ve tried more than one protein powder, then you know what I’m talking about!I’m going to give it to you straight, this stuff will not increase your sex drive or help you sleep more soundly. I’ve been using ZMA since 2008 on a 3-1 cycle and I have never noticed a difference between on and off months. What it does do is help you recover while you’re sleeping. When I take ZMA I feel less drained and less sore than when I don’t take it. There is more than one study out there that links ZMA, Tribulus, and other test boosters to placebos. It may be possible that it helps you maintain a normal hormone level, but it won’t increase hormone level production.

Great Supplement overall for athelets and others
Its good for those who exercise excessively among other benefits. I take this on heavy weight training days or especially after a long run day. Mag, Zinc and B6 are essentials and you can get them other places (foods) but this is a great supplement before bed. These doses although over 100% won’t exceed what some consider excessive daily limits. Zinc is about the only one that reaches a lot of common limits. Again, if you eat a super healthy diet (who does) you could always just take two pills as a dose and still get the benefits. Again, I take on heavy training days or that evening before bed to be specific.If you are taking other supplements just read the labels to see which ones you are double dosing on.A few notes on these:Vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine, is a water-soluble nutrient that is part of the B vitamin family. B vitamins help support adrenal function, help calm and maintain a healthy nervous system, and are necessary for key metabolic processes. Vitamin B6 acts as a coenzyme in the breakdown and utilization of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.Vitamin B6 helps in the production of neurotransmitters, the chemicals that allow brain and nerve cells to communicate with one another, ensuring that metabolic processes such as fat and protein metabolism run smoothly, and is important for immune system function in older individuals.Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body. A balanced diet usually supplies all the magnesium a person needs. Magnesium also helps maintain normal blood pressure and metabolism. Beyond that, a magnesium-rich diet may help protect against metabolic syndrome, a combination of risk factors that can lead to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. ****Because all forms of magnesium can act as laxatives, I suggest taking it with some calcium to balance its effects. The forms I prefer are magnesium citrate, chelate, or glycinate. Avoid magnesium oxide, which can be irritating to the digestive tract.Zinc is a mineral that is necessary for the functioning of enzymes and plays a vital role in many biological processes, including the production of cells that help keep the body healthy.
