Difficult to tell with the melatonin, because the cold bug is still messing up how I feel.  I slept well with it...  I'm a little more cautious with the melatonin supplementation because I don't want to retard my body's natural production of it.  I think a little can help, but I definitely plan to regularly cycle off of it.

 

ZMA seems like a great mix!  I went to Optimum ZMA.  I tend to trust that Optimum and NOW... so I like to use them as a baseline on new stuff; then try other brands if there is a significant savings. Although I did go with Ultimate Nutrition for the Tribulus for some reason that escapes me now...

How do you like the ZMA? I cycle on and off it. I am still torn on it. What brand are you using?

How is the melatonin working for you??
