The original ZMA formuala is combination of zince monomethionine aspartate and magnesim aspartate and vitamin B6.

There is no such thing as a compound zinc magnesium aspartate as far as I know but when you see it called that on labels it is usually a combination of magnesium aspartate and zinc arganate and whatever else the maker may have thrown in like b vitamins and other sleep aids. I don't think they can call these product "ZMA" but you may see zma in the product description.

As far as any difference of effectiveness between the two I don't know. Some people have beneficial sleep effects from original ZMA and they are both a good source of zinc and magnesium, both of which bodybuilders seem to need a lot more of. The other claim is increasing growth hormone blah blah but I don't think there is a lot of evidence that original zma has significant anabolic effects as it is claimed let alone the newer combination.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
