ZMA and Recon are two entirely different species, man. Recon is a post-workout recovery drink with aminos and carbs, ZMA is a mineral supp.

Both post-workout nutrition and proper mineral support are important, but you don't necessarily need either of those two specific products. Like Night wolf said, any properly dosed ZMA will do, or even Zinc and Magnesium separately work. For post-workout nutrition, some whey and a carb of choice does just fine.

so does ZMA really help with recovery/soreness? i always drink a small gatorade and post workout protein shake, so i think nutrition wise i should be ok. i just was thinking of adding in somethin for recovery. thanks again every1

ZMA simply provides needed minerals. If you're deficient in either zinc or magnesium, as many people are, it will improve the function of numerous enzymes that rely on those minerals as cofactors.

really? the only studies I know of are elderly and it helped because they were deficient, a healthy adult is not going to be deficient in these minerals, if they are they should be getting diet and nutrition advice not supplements.

ZMA is not going to do anything except possibly help you with sleep.
