Hi, I am attempting to put together a home made ZMA stack since it seems to be substantially cheaper this way, the pills I've got for both are the following.

Zinc Amino Acid Chelate 220mg (22mg Elemental Zinc Equiv)

Magnesium tablet...

Magnesium Orotate 200mg
Magnesium apspartate 200mg
Magnesium amino acid chelate 150mg
Magnesium Phosphate 80mg

Total Elemental Magnesium per tablet 73mg

The studies recommend 30mg of zinc and 450mg of magnesium, which figure do you go by on the tablets? Is that the elemental amount per tablet? eg would need 6 or so magnesium tablets to hit 450mg, makes little sense. I am guessing they are giving the 450mg value as the amount of Magnesium aspartate required but would just like to be sure etc.... but what about the zinc dosing?

Currently taking 1 zinc tablet and 2 magnesiums before bed.
