I keep trying to convince Nicki of that fact...she pee's herself laughing at me. It hurts.

I saw Poliquin (I think) mention that a test for zinc deficiency is to put some liquefied zinc compound in your mouth. If it tastes like a car bumper, then your zinc levels are ok. If you are deficient, you won't taste a thing.
After taking ZMA last night, I had a distinctly metallic taste in the back of my mouth this morning. I took some this afternoon (as my evening meal is too late to get it in before bed on an empty stomach) and got it again a while after.
Am I just taking crazy pills or is there something to this?

No, that's called Opium.
aka Vitamin O.
It is an ancient Chinese herbal remedy for conciousness.

I am so glad to have seen this thread. After starting ZMA a couple days ago I can see a dramatic, probably 2 hours, difference in the time I sleep. Fantastic! Dreams or not, this stuff is great, no hype.

ZMA is a foundational supplement as far as I am concerned. When considering noticable results and effectiveness, I personally rank it above creatine, whey, aminos, etc . If my budget was extremely tight, I would only take ZMA and a good multi.....and some multis even include a ZMA blend. If I could afford to eat strictly organic, I wouldn't even take a multi.

Here's another thought into how ZMA is so effective:
ZMA shuttles out circulating blood glucose
Low blood glucose gives you that tired feeling (aka going to sleep after taking it)
Low glucose = low insulin
low insulin = high GH
GH is maximally released during the first 2-3 hours of REM sleep
so ZMA maximizes GH release and body repair at night

I do not understand what the difference is between this and just getting zinc and magnesium aspartate and b12 separately?
