So... I just want to continue this discussion ZMA vs Magnesium a little bit. A few weeks ago I remember reading a comment about magnesium helping folks relax and get better sleep(anecdotal I know but I meant to research more into it later). When I read ZMA I immediately thought... Zinc Magnesium and wtf is A? One thing leads to another and I'm lead to wikipedia. Which then lead me to this PDF citing American dietary guidelines set forth by the governments Health and Human Services. It stated the following
"Magnesium: More than half of Americans don’t get nearly enough magnesium.
Magnesium is important for the development and maintenance of bones and activating
the enzymes necessary for energy release."
• Great sources of magnesium include cooked spinach, soybeans, white beans,
black beans, lima beans, beet greens, navy beans, black-eyed peas, great northern
beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans.
• One example of how to meet magnesium requirements would be to add the
following to a typical daily diet: 1) 1 ½ cups cooked spinach AND 1 cup of cooked, black beans or lima beans."
Now, I've never been particularly concerned with acquiring my recommended daily dosing of magnesium because you always hear about all the other nutrients like iron, calcium, vitamin c etc. I do on the other hand consume plenty of sources with magnesium (spinach n beans baby!) on a daily basis so I'd wager I'm not running a magnesium deficiency like apparently half of my countrymen do.
Cool, so now I'm like ZMA vs Magnesium. The ZMA supplement makes claims like these...
Awesome. Now wtf is the difference between ZMA and just getting my fix of zinc/magnesium/Bvitamins from my multi I take? Well... All of this comes from the wiki but...
" It was developed by Victor Conte (founder of BALCO Laboratories in Burlingame, California) and is a combination of zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6. The formula is "patent pending" and the name "ZMA" trademarked by SNAC System Inc. ZMA claims to raise strength levels, though independent studies do not support this claim."
And if you don't know who BALCO is they were the company involved with scandals of Barry Bonds and other Olympic level athletes(Marion Jones). So whatev's pretty much every company that makes money off something will get some sort of scandal at some point in their existence but I'm just weighing ZMA vs Magnesium. So I research a bit of what magnesium nutrient itself is meant to regulate/perform. So I go to trusty old Mayo clinic's post on it et voila! Of special note is that
"Lack of magnesium may lead to irritability, muscle weakness, and irregular heartbeat."
Well alrighty then! I'd love to not be bitchy, weak, and all heart aflutter on account of a dietary deficiency so lets get some ZMA or Magnesium all up in my anatomy. Amazon here we come!
ZMA supplements...
vs
Magnesium Supplements
Seems about three times the cost to dump money into ZMA vs just magnesium supplementation. Hmmmm.... well ZMA also gives me zinc but products like these do exist as well.
So wtf is my own personal conclusion on it all? Everybody reacts differently so your mileage may vary but why not give ol' magnesium a shot instead? You'll be consuming a more affordable supplement with well documented and verifiable benefits vs a costly supplement developed by a questionable company whose clinical studies are inconsistent?
EDIT: I r format nub. Fixed...
Any who, good luck on the strength and sleeping patterns all!
alright so after a carb heavy meal, how many days into no carb should I start taking the potassium and magnesium suppliments as well as the bullion broth.
