Is taking Zinc and Magnesium supplements separately the same as taking ZMA?
ZMA seems to just be the two combined and with a massive premium charged because of the bodybuilding target audience who'll pay whatever for it.

the zinc and magnesium in ZMA supps are in the asparate form and in specific doses, in addition to vitamin b6
admittedly i don't know why the asparate form or the specific doses are mandatory for the supplement to work. someone more science-y than i can take it from here.

Lots of Zinc supps have B6, I suppose the question is dosage.
Ausfag here with the cheapest price per dose in mg (Cenovis Zinc Plus from Chemist warehouse) and these are 25mg Zinc, 2mg Manganese and 10mg B6 per tablet.

zma is so great dude. idk about taking it separate but it gives me the wildest fucking dreams i swear

It's the same. If you look on the back you can just replicate the doses(or run your own). My friend gave me the half of his bottle when he moved and I didn't notice a difference from the $5 bottles I buy at walmart.
the different forms just have to do with how it is absorbed by your body. Other forms absorb easier than others according to studies, but I haven't noticed a difference and have gone back to buying whatever is cheapest.

I take 1 a day because my multi has 15mg zinc and going over 50 is where nasty shit starts happening, allegedly. Nah it's as amino acid chelate. From the little I've read I'm not convinced there's a huge difference between the forms in practical terms, your body will make of it what it will and piss out the rest.

Buy it from your grocery store. Seriously so cheap for zma. Half the price of the bodybuilding manufacturers. If $10 matters to you at all worry about sorting out your finances not your fitness
