Sports Nutrition, ZMA (Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B-6), Enhanced Absorption, Sports Recovery*, 180 Capsules

These ZMA capsules are a great supplement. I can speak for the fitness aspect of them but they have definitely improved my sleep quality. At first I thought that perhaps it was just in my head but after taking them for several weeks now I feel that I am more well rested in the morning when I wake up. It is also easier for me to wake up and I’ve found that I usually wake up on the first alarm rather than hitting snooze several times. I also feel that an unintended side effect of these has been an improvement in my mood. I definitely feel calmer and more patient especially when with my children. I’m not sure if I can attribute that to these capsules directly or if that is due to me feeling more rested. All in all I would recommend these. I purchased to bottles of the 180 caps and will definitely purchase more when I run out.

Taken just before bedtime, I see a noticeable difference in sleep quality. I sleep deeper, spend less time waking, and have more vivid dreams. I also don't seem to get sick very often, which I attribute to the zinc in ZMA. I HIGHLY recommend this supplement!

My husband and I both take this at night. Helps with muscle recovery and sleep. It is one of few that don't "repeat", meaning we don't burp up a weird taste after taking them.

I love NOW Foods ZMA. I've tried just magnesium for relaxation and sleep, but I believe ZMA works better. I've also tried other brands of ZMA, but I believe Now Foods is superior. I will definitely buy again.

First off, let it be known that how this product affects you will depend completely on your body's chemistry and nutritional needs. Also it's my strong opinion that to get the most of ZMA, you'll want to use it during a hard training cycle. You may not be an athlete, per se, but your body will have a greater need for zinc and magnesium if you're placing greater demands upon it... and therefore you will reap the recovery benefits of the product, whereas someone who doesn't train very hard likely won't get the best result because their body simply doesn't require it nearly as much. Simple concept. Simple principles of physical training adaptation and differing nutritional needs. I've taken several ZMA products in the past. They usually helped my recovery noticeably, and improved the quality of my sleep. This product certainly gets me into a deep sleep, but I have noticed extreme grogginess in the mornings. As some other reviewers have mentioned, I have actually missed my alarms in the mornings when I've taken this. Am I complaining about it? No. To be fair, you might expect that with ANY ZMA product... it is important to know that this may happen, but you're still getting the beneficial results from the product. If you don't like these effects, don't take it. I take the recommended 3 capsules about 30-minutes before sleep on a relatively empty stomach, with a few ounces of water, as directed. I would take this product daily during a hard training cycle of up to 8-weeks, but that's just my personal preference. After 8-weeks, I'd stop using the product because of the concept of 'down-regulation' whereby your body adapts to almost anything you give it for a prolonged period of time (i.e. caffeine, aspirin, tribulus, etc.) I like this product, but I am not certain that it is the best ZMA product on the market. And to be honest I am not completely sure why, because milligram for milligram, it should be very similar to other ZMA products, if not the same (as long as the types and doses of zinc and magnesium are the same). I'm no scientist, but I know that this stuff gets me into a deep sleep, so I do like it. All that said, I will probably buy a different brand next time to see if I find one better. But then you have to wonder... if I'm NOT that groggy in the morning taking another brand, is the other brand under-dosed or lying about the milligrams listed on the label? That's the problem with nutritional supplements folks. You gotta rely on these public reviews to find reputable brands. I think NOW is a reputable brand... for now.

I've bought this repeatedly, very reliable brand for ZMA. I know my body absorbs it well because if I take the prescribed dosage at night, I urgently have to go to the bathroom the next morning, haha. No stomach upset though, so that's good. Mild diarrhea is the only side effect I don't love, but other than that, very useful supplement for very active people.

Took this ZMA at bedtime after workouts and I’m actually sleeping deeper. Waking up feeling less sore, which is a big win. The zinc, magnesium & B6 combo is solid. Highly recommend!

the only zmas i buy

Completely unacceptable, I received the item and the capsules inside have broken. The bottle looks like it is 100 years old will 💯 not be able to use and think it is disgraceful that the item was delivered in this state!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM FROM THIS OPTION.

Good size

Did the product help with recovery and better night sleep, certainly felt like it. However, it smelled and tasted awful, possibly due to bad storing conditions.

very bad smell and bad stored , canot take any capsules ,, seems to exposed to hot storing place that damaged the component
