I used to take it, but find it superfluous since shifting to 95%+ Paleo. If I were to set a relative benchmark of pre-ZMA as being a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of sleep, and "with ZMA" being a 10, my "post-ZMA, totally Paleo" sleep is like a 9.5. I have very vivid dreams, perhaps not as vivid as on ZMA, but as long as I'm eating well, I recover like a champ and sleep like a baby (which is an idiotic statement given that babies wake up every 2 hours....regardless you get the drift). I don't see the little benefit of ZMA over a Paleo diet as being worth the $10 per month (cheap in terms of supplements, but why spend for what isn't needed).
