On the cheap you can take a random ZMA and Vit D supps.

For full multivitamin, I recommend Thorne, which uses the most bioavailable chelated versions of vitamins and minerals. Once you learn how in-bioavailable the vast majority of ingredients in a standard MV are, you will feel sad

You can't just take a random ZMA. With combinations, you're more likely to get a poorly bioavailable form, like L-threonate, oxide, or hydroxide.

You should be looking for citrate or glycinate.

PSA: 48% of people have magnesium deficiencies, the highest of any vitamin/mineral, I'm pretty sure.

ZMA would be aspartate. (And oxide)
Yeah I was worried about bioavailability. I already use ZMA and Vit D, I will check out Thorne. Thanks!
