Is there a big difference betwwen the two in making homemade ZMA? All I can find around town is Oxide. Will using MG oxide be usless? Tried to search it but got slightly conflicting findings. Thanks

Magnesium citrate is easiest absorbed, not as much stomach acid is needed. (by the way, same for calcium citrate).

Are there any local stores that I can locate the ingredients for ZMA. By local I mean chians or the such. If not what website is the best to get them all. Also, any requirement on type of Zinc? Thanks

Zinc gluconate will be just fine. I personally just use mag citrate and chelated zinc. Chelation is simply a process that binds it to amino acids to enhance absorbtion. In other words, wrapping amino acids around any minerals that help increase the absorption.
