Hello…
So I’m 5’9, 157lbs, 23 years old. I’m wondering if I should start with 3 pill dose right off the bat, or the 2 pill dose.
Reason I ask is I’ve read a mix of things. Some just have great, peaceful sleeps. Others have awful nightmares and gas. I’d like to enjoy the benefits… but I also don’t feel like having vivid dreams of me stabbing my loved ones lol.
Has anyone else tried the 2 pill dose? Did it work?
If there is any other info you need, just ask.
I started at 2, and recently bumped up to three. I don’t know if it was necessary or not, but I wish I would have started with three. I can tell a difference with the sleep quality.
I have had some vivid-ass, wild and crazy dreams, but no nightmares.
If 3 gives you problems, switch to 2.
?
you’re a man right? do 3
I start with the maximal dose. Sleep is better and i’ve never had any problems with weird dreams. lol

What’s with this vivid dream shit?
Also, they recommend taking it on an empty stomach right before bed. I thought we don’t wanna go to bed on an empty stomach, I always have my snack about 1-2 hours before bed. Ideas?

A lot of people (myself included) report having more vivid, interesting, relaxing dreams. It’s good stuff.
As for when to take it: take your zma, wait 20-30 minutes, then have your pre-bed meal with casein.
They just don’t want you to eat calcium-rich foods, THEN eat ZMA because it blocks its absorption.

I see. Thanks for the tip!
I generally eat dinner around 6, then snack at 8:30(sleep by 9:30). Is there enough time to take the ZMA(say around 8)?
Did you people not read the label? Or the article write up for that matter?
Gee, here�??s what the label says!
�??Take 3 capsules per day for men, or 2 capsules per day for women, 30-60 minutes prior to bedtime. For best results, take on an empty stomach, or avoid taking with foods and supplements containing calcium.�??
I think that�??s pretty much self explanatory.
So the label just answered your questions as to when to take it, how much to take, and what foods to avoid!

Obviously I missed that. Thanks.
Haha all good and you’re welcome.
Man I hate how those posts show up with boxes and question marks, whoops /end tangent.
I go through wing dings withdrawl if I don’t see funky symbols and shapes.
Like it says on the bottle, take 3 if you’re a man or 2 if you’re a woman. By the rampant emotions of fear in your OP, it sounds like you’re a woman. Go ahead and take 2. Don’t forget the Vagisil before bed too. 
yea, seriously it’s just ZMA, dont make to big a deal out of it.
And i’ve experienced extremely vivid dreams and the best nights of sleep since i started taking it a couple months back.
I’ll put my vote in for 3. I often wonder, if someone is larger (>250lbs) would a larger dose be more beneficial. As pointed out before its ZMA, it won’t kill you.

Or I just don’t consider vivid nightmares as a component of sound sleep. It would sort of defeat the purpose if I’m waking up with nightmares numerous times each night.
But thanks for the quick, unthoughtful respose :). I can always count on getting at least one of those.
Had to do it man. 8) I take 3 just before lights out and I have never slept better in my life. I have never taken ZMA prior to last month. It works wonders for me. I’d take 3 and see how you respond then adjust accordingly. 8)
