what is the consensus on taking zinc supplements?

do it

Do it

Why? If it can be absorbed from seeds and nuts I can get my RDI anyway. Thought I suppose I could add supplement on to that.
How much zinc is too much zink?

do It

good fucking luck consistently getting enough zinc without supplementing it. by enough I mean 20-50mg, that's the amount that makes a difference

It zinc-redible

Do it.
As someone who suffered from severe insomnia/depression, ZMA has fixed my sleeping schedule overnight, something fucking benzos never achieved to do (protip: benzos WILL fuck you up too).
Just watch out for the crazy dreams though.

What are the advantages with ZMA compared to just zinc?

Magnesium.Yeah

>Not getting 2 grams a day
>"difference"

2 more letters bro.

does zinc fuck up the sleep of anyone else?

It makes me wake up in the middle of the night and not being able to fall back to sleep

Yeah happened to me.
You're dehidrated. Drink at least half a liter of water before going to sleep.

Magnesium and aspartate.
But there's some 5-Hydroxytryptophan in certain mixtures.

Yes but not in that way. I get crazy dreams.

>zinc, ZMA
ZMA is almost as dangerous as DNP
and next thing you know you'll be injecting BCAA

Eat pumpkin seeds senpai, no need for supplements

FYI you'd better not take it on an empty stomach unless you enjoy doubling over 45 minutes later and feeling like you drank bleach

and dont take it with milk

D-does that mean it's not working?

>t. small balled fag

Avoid, zinc in doesage in ZMA is considerably lower than what you need a day and has a higher ratio of zinc to cobalt than zinc gluconate. It's better (and cheaper) to supplement zinc and magnesium from pic related than to get ZMA
