i recently stumbled across Twin lab ZMA FUEL, its claims to add natural anabolic support, and to improve strength. On the label it says it has vitamin b6, magnesium,and zinc, those are the major ones. it says for men to take 3 a day preferably on an empty stomach 30-60 mins before bed, and for women to take 2. Now it says it promotes hormone production to increase strength? Have any of u guys heard of or used this product? if so is it healthy?

Also what is your take on water pills?

you have just stumbled upon what seems to be FT's most recent supplement craze! ZMA is as safe as it gets for both men and women. it is just a collection of minerals that are essential for success in athletes. it essentially sends you into a deeper REM sleep helping you recover while, yes, also promoting you anabolic horomone which will help you grow and become stronger. its very healthy and yes you take it with water.

my personal exepriances have been great from the get-go with this product. i love it! i take it like i take my multivitamin. i currently take seperate pills of 30mg of zinc and 400mg of magnesium about an hour before i go to bed and i will continue to take this for a long time to come.

Check the ZMA post in the supplements forum - lots of opinions and information about ZMA.

Personally, I like it and really feel it is beneficial.
