Don’t take it till you’re actually headed off to bed.
Just received mine in the mail, I’ll try it tonight or next night and report back. Thanks again 716.
On the packets themselves, it says to mix packet (25g) with cold water, I haven’t opened it yet, but is one of these packets considered one dosage? so only good for one night?
Not to rain on the parade here, but isn’t this the Victor Conte of BALCO? And, since BALCO has been/is the target of a US gov’t investigation, is it a good idea to put your name is his database? Not that he’s planning anything nefarious, but you never know how the govt will respond. I know it’s a different company, but still, I’d use Elmer Fudd or something rather than put my name there if I were subject to USADA/WADA, just to be safe.
Dear Vito:
Mix the entire 25 gram packet with about 6-8 ounces of cold water and drink about 30 minutes before bedtime. Looking forward to your feedback.

I will, but not tonight, unfortunately I have way too much school work to do, so I am burnin the midnight oil tonight (or this morning I should say). And thanks again.
got woken up at 4am by my roommate… AGAIN. perhaps this is an answer to better sleep! will let you know.
Last I was told Musashi has now outsourced their aminos to China now. I wish I could validate it, but I can’t. The only reason I say this is that Xtreme Formulations, whom I get ICE from, used to use Musashi aminos and have since stopped because of this.
Just what I was told. I have no affiliation with Xtreme so I have nothing to gain either way.
Give ICE a try if you have not already. I really like the Punch and use about 25g each training session. Tastes awesome.
I’ve tried both.
That’s interesting about Musashi - I’ll see if I can find out if that is true.
From my knowledge of Musashi - they are a very reputable company and they produce good quality products and their testimonials are hard to argue with including from well respected coaches - including Al Vermeil and Charlie to name two.

I know they invest alot of money in testing the purity of their stuff.
But they can be very expensive - must be the shipping from Oz.
Xtreme’s ICE is very good though.
I use Punch too - must have the same taste buds Zepplin!!
I like what they’ve done with it and I really like the taste - adds a real zip to anything I add it too.
BCAA’s aren’t the best tasting normally.
I follow Charlie’s reccomendations and I like it.
Could you just use 10g of whey isolate in place of BCAA and save money?
I always used Musashi, but that was some years ago and I can’t vouch for them now. I do know that the last few things I got had changed and had a fishy smell that wasn’t present before. My understanding was that the Aminos came from Japan but don’t know now. I don’t want to speculate on the quality issue.
tried the ZMA night cap last night and i think it worked great
i feklt it work alot better than the caps
I just woke up from my first test run with the new ZMA nightcap. WONDERFUL! Since starting back at University I have hardly had a good night of sleep. It usually takes me between 1 and 2 hours before my mind calms down enough for me to fall asleep. Last night, I hit the pillow and must have been out within 20 minutes. I woke up earlier than usual, rested and clear headed. It is amazing what a good night of sleep can do and what it is worth.
Did you try the original ZMA in capsules and if so, how well did it work for you? My sleeping problems are the same as yours and the capsule ZMA doesn’t work that well for me.
It worked better than the pills for me also. Fell asleep fast.
I have used the capsules consistenly for about 3 years with excellent results. The drink mix seemed to work better, but both are good.
Maybe I should give the capsules another try… I guess a free sample of the drink would be good to at least try if I could get one.
I tried the root beer float nightcap last night and slept well and woke up early wide awake but stayed in bed and got 2 more hours in because it is a holiday. Had some vivid dreams including snatching 225kg in a class room in my old high school!

hahaha wow… it’s like the teacher fantasy on a WHOLE new level!
I have never used ZMA but after trying the samples I am considering making room for it in my supplement budget. Both nights that i used ZMA nightcap i slept more deeply, felt more refreshed in the morning and actually remembered my dreams. My only concern is the solubility of the mix, when i tried to dissolve it in water with a spoon some of the powder remained in the bottom. It did not taste like the flavor of the drink and had a grainy texture so I am assuming it was zinc or magnesium.
I tried my first sample pack last night, and I expericenced the same thing with the undissolved portion. But besides that, no complaints.
