        As a test booster. Neither will do anything. I love ZMA though. Helps me sleep deeper hence recovering quicker.

        Test boosters are IMO a waste of money. The only time I use them is after a ph cycle to help kickstart my own test.

        If you are dead set in a test booster try hcgenerate. It's the best of a bad lot but it's expensive. Much better doing a test cycle.

            As others have said, better to save your money.

            Thats not to say ZMA is a waste of money, far from it. Just dont expect miracles, as it can be a hit and miss affair with anything that is "suposed to boost test".

            ZMA is good for deeper sleep aka better recovery, so for that reason id reccomend that over Tribulus based products anyday

              Tribulus might improve your libido, apart from that dont expect much else. 
              As for ZMA I've yet to try it but again, it's more beneficial to get a good nights sleep than anything else.

                    The problem with people's view on supplements are they think that they are magic pills and will magically get you to your goals.

                    Supplements are called supplements for a reason. They are there to supplement anything lacking in your diet.

                      Exactly. This is where the lines between supplements and AAS become blurred, probably on the intention of the supplement companies.
                       
                      Supplements - supplement things lacking in your diet. eg if you aren't getting enough protein, use whey. If you aren't getting enough creatine from red meat, use creatine powder. If you aren't getting enough aminos from protein alone, use BCAAs. If you aren't getting enough essential fats from food alone, use Fish Oils, etc.
                       
                      AAS - alter your endocrine system to create a greater hormonal response from your diet and training.
                       
                      The idea of a 'natural test booster' fits into neither of the above. It's not a supplement, it's not a drug, it's nothing, and the effect it will have on you will mirror this.

                        some natural test booster have anti-e and dht blockers in them, maybe thats what he meant. or you can buy these sep.
                         
                        most of the natural test boosters have zma in them, but alot more pricey. trib on its own didnt do much for me, some say its a libido booster at best.
                         
                        DAA seems good so people say for boosting test. but even at a claimed 50% increase of your natural body's levels, as said above dont expect miracles, its merely supplemental.
                         
                        worth trying though mate, see how you get on, everyone seems to respond differently

                          50% increase of natural test is nothing. I think a healthy male produces between 2 and 10mg per day so even if your body is producing 10mg then a 50% increase only gives you 15mg. Nothing when you concider how much you take on a aas test cycle.
