          I was told that SNAC Biotest ZMA is the best form of ZMA to buy. I believe that the actual testing done to develop ZMA was done by this company. I was referred to http://www.netrition.com.
          This is only my experience through CF and Elitetrack opinions. There have been past posts as well as valuable posts on it on CF's site.

          If one does not have a deficiency of zinc, magnesium or B vitamins, would supplementing with ZMA still be effective? From my research i have concluded that vitamin and minereral supplements are generally not beneficial unless the athlete lacks sufficient dietary intake of them. I take GNC pro protein which has 100mg magnesium, 5mg zinc and 1.75mg vitamin B-6, is this sufficient or should i consider supplementing with ZMA?

          It's just a mineral and vitamin supplement.

          I bought my ZMA from GNC, & for some reason I feel that it smells horrible. Does anybody else have this problem. I've been taking it and I don't notice much of a difference. The GNC brand is not in those little plastic capsules. Instead they look like vitamins. My friends says that his ZMA (i don't know what brand) does not stink at all. I just wanna know if anybody else has this problem.

          The only thing i can say is try it, and if it doesn't work then you've not really lost anything apart from $15…

          Just wondering, if my Multis contain a bit of the stuff ZMA has (B6, zinc, magnesium), should I still take 3 capsuls as it says to do on the back of the ZMA container?
