QnA: ZMA and Appetite Control
August 29, 2007
I recently had an article published over at Bodybuilding.com in a QnA series I have over there entitle “What the Readers Want to Know”
Here are the two questions that I answered in the latest installment.
[ Q ] I see the directions for ZMA supplements mention, “Avoid taking with dairy products or other calcium-containing foods for best results” and “Preferably on an empty stomach”. I’ve recently been in the habit of having a whey/casein shake about an hour before bedtime, which is also when the ZMA directions say you should take your ZMA capsules.
Since whey/casein contains calcium and my stomach wouldn’t be empty it seems like taking the ZMA capsules and having a shake before bed would be counterproductive. Would you have a recommendation for a way around this?
I’ve been reading that having a shake before bed is a good way to ‘feed your muscles’ while you sleep, but I’ve also heard a lot of good things about ZMA, so I’m trying to get in on the benefits of both but it based on the ZMA directions it seems like I’d be better off doing on or the other. Thanks!
[Q] I was wondering if you have any suggestions regarding appetite control.
