Second that. If you are worried about the dosage levels, Calcium, Mag and Zinc will also help. Both of these have been used as a treatment for insomnia. And we all know sleep is the only time you build muscle (recoop)

About to start DHEA and Trib...

ZMA is a special combination of Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B6 that raises your Testosterone levels. This helps lifting and sleep =)

It should be taken on a relatively empty stomach about 30min-1hour before bed. Read up on it here:
