Victor Conte
Who?
Helps maintain testosterone levels, protein synthesis and gets you into a deeper sleep state quicker. I generally only get 5-6 hours sleep a night and it has a mild effect on how refreshed I feel when I wake up. Should work better if I could wait longer after taking the shake but I can't wait around.

"Brilla and Conte [13] reported that ZMA supplementation significantly increased free testosterone, IGF-1, and isokinetic strength gains during training. Results of this study do not support these findings."
"ZMA supplementation had no significant effects on total and free testosterone,"
"no significant effects were observed between groups in changes in 1-RM strength, upper or lower body muscle endurance, or anaerobic sprint capacity."

You've not heard of Victor Conte? BALCO Doctor, doped athletes for years and has now gone clean. An advocate for drug-free sport now, mostly dealing with his athletes in boxing and MMA/UFC stuff. No idea who most of them are, but it's worth following him on twitter - he's a bit better at engaging with questions than, say, Antoine Vayer.
