Can I make my own ZMA?

ZMA is made up of pretty much just Zinc and Magnesium. Couldn't I just buy some zinc pills and magnesium pills and just use that for about 10$ cheaper?

As a matter of fact I just found some 25mg zinc pills (which is about the same amount in ZMA) and I found some 500mg Magnesium (about the same amount in ZMA pills) I can get about 300 servings of Mag for 10 bucks and 300 servings of zinc for 3 bucks. So how I'm seeing this, is that I can have about 300 servings of ZMA for 13bucks?!...

likely don't even need the magnesium.

for the same reason, I use NOW brand ZMA cuz its the cheapest, and I only take 2 pills instead of 3. ZMA is more about sleeping soundly than anything else. it takes a lot of zinc to have a significant effect on test. levels.
 
For it to have the same affect, Im sure you would need the magnesium. Isint that the main ingredient that helps you sleep better?
 
Well in the ZMA i have it has valerian root extract and some other plant that helps you get a better sleep. i don't think it's the zinc itself that helps you get a better sleep.
 
I take ZMA often, and I guarantee it helps me get a deep, full nights sleep.
