ZMA (zinc monomethionine aspartate, magnesium aspartate and vitamin B6) is a supplement used primarily by athletes, gymnasts, and bodybuilders. It was developed by Victor Conte (founder of BALCO Laboratories in Burlingame, California).

No high quality scientific study has found it to have any beneficial effects on muscle building or strength, and the International Society of Sports Nutrition and the Australian Institute of Sport regard it as having no clear benefits.

I posted this for people like me that do not know what ZMA is.

From what I read it diabetes does not get a mention.

Hmm, this (meta) study talks about zinc supplements, but it's ten years old...

I took ZMA a few years ago when I was training heavy, and it didn't have much of an adverse reaction to my bloods. I got some good sleeping patterns from its use though.
