ZMA ok for women?

[groovy]

Hi all. My sister has been having some problems with sleep lately. Even though sometimes shes really tired she just cant get to sleep. Her diet is ok i think, not really good, but doesnt eat a lot of junk food.

I did tell her to go see a doctor to see what the problem could be, but in the mean time, i was thinking would ZMA help?

The thing is though, she doesn't work out as often as I assume some of the other women on this site. I would imagine that supplementing ZMA could only help her over all health, not to mention sleep.

I personally never tried this stuff as i dont have any problems sleeping.

So is it safe and any problems with long term use for women?

So any ideas or advice would be a great help, Thanks.

Guys use ZMA as a natural testosterone booster, but because it doesn't stimulate test production directly (zinc's just an important ingredient required in the production of testosterone) I can't see any problems with females taking it.

Whether it would help her sleep, I don't know.

ZMA is completely safe for both males & females to use, and really no different to using a Zinc/Magnesium/Vitamin B6 product from any health store. Zinc has multiple actions in both male & female bodies particularly in the endocrine system in the production of testosterone in men & balances over production of estrogen in women & stimulates progesterone & assists in menstrual regulation.

I wonder, is she taking any thermogenic supps? Sometimes if you take them too late in the day they can interfere with sleep, ive got a friend who cannot tolerate them past 11am, I can take them up until 2pm with no probs. Everyone is different.

Thanks all for the advice. I will let her know about it and hopefully it might help a bit.

No she doesnt take any thermos or any supplements.
