Ok this is going to sound like a right newbie question but:
Last night I tried taking ZMA but i didnt have any sleep benefits till about 4-5 am when i suddenly had about 10-15 short 'mini-dreams' (what felt like 10 secs or less kinds things). I was obviously sleeping before this but it took me ages to drift off to sleep and i woke a couple of times in the night.
I took the recommended dosage that night and so i'm thinking of up'ing it and seeing what happens but i've been doing some reading and apparently ZMA has ALOT of zinc in it compared to your RDA so taking too much could actually cuase my immune system more problems.
Also and i know this sounds daft but apparently the amounts of Magnesium + Zinc are taylored for best absorbtion so taking more may actually do nothing or even worse mean less happens.
Could someone please clear up all these myths or half-truths for me? i cant search th threads cause ZMA is too small a search criteria. :sad:
