Default Zinc

I'm thinkin about starting to take Zinc tablets because I've heard that they are real good in your recovery....do you guys think that this is a good choice? It's only $30 for 2 month supply so i thought that wasn't toooo bad

I was taking ZMA, which is Zinc, Mag, and B6 as a nighttime recovery and test booster. I'm now just taking inexpensive Zinc and Mag supps together at night. The B6 kind of messed with my sleep anyway. I'm not sure if the specific type of Zinc or Magnesium matters...the ZMA has Mag Aspartate, my supp is Mag Oxide etc. But I find Zinc to be a key supp, especially for men.

I take zinc drops (tastes terrible) & Mag Aspartate caps before bed.
ZMA contains B6 & like spiderman mentioned, it can act as a stimulant for some people & keep you awake.

Zinc helps in the production of test. & the Mag Aspartate helps calm the nervous system for a deeper sleep.

Eat plenty of brocolli - it contains more zinc than most other vegetables.
