Making your own ZMA

[TopSecret]

Most ZMA products contain (on average):

400mg magnesium
30mg zinc
10.5mg B-6


I've decided to make my own because even though ZMA is only ~$14 buck month, making my own stack for $14 lasts me 3 times as long.

It is impossible to find vitamins with the right ratios so is it ok to take in a little extra?

Here is my stack:

500mg magnesium
50mg zinc
50mg B-6

(All of these vitamins are in 3 seperate pills)

I'm concerned about the amount of B-6. I was taking in a super comlex vitamin B but it only contained 5mg of B-6. Will 50mg of B-6 fight for absorption with the zinc?

Why don't you cut the vitamin pill in half?

I don't think it will make a difference, its going to serve other purposes in your body.

I just started the samething but im going with a liquid mag and a 100mg of b6.

Also what kind of zinc are you using?

I pay $13.00 for 90 pills of ZMA. How much cheaper are you making it? BIG fan of ZMA by the way . . .

They say part of the reason ZMA is so effective is that its in those certain amounts. Hell we all take multi-vitamins that have all those ingredients in it...

Seems it gives me a headache(few times) waking up the next day whenever I use it. Which one do you use?

From my understanding its the higher dose... not the exact amount.
