bump, excellent post... i posted a question about this same thing in the supplement section.. when it comes to supplementing zinc, i found this>

"Zinc is a component of more than 300 enzymes needed to repair wounds, maintain fertility in adults and growth in children, synthesize protein, help cells reproduce, preserve vision, boost immunity, and protect against free radicals, among other functions. Lozenges containing zinc gluconate, zinc gluconate-glycine, or zinc acetate have been effective, whereas most other forms of zinc and lozenges flavored with citric acid,5 tartaric acid, sorbitol, or mannitol, have been ineffective.6 Trials using forms other than zinc gluconate, zinc gluconate-glycine, or zinc acetate have failed, as have trials that use insufficient amounts of zinc.7 Therefore, until more is known, people should only use zinc gluconate, zinc gluconate-glycine, or zinc acetate. Doses range from 15-50mg per day. "

so basically, we could all stop buying ZMA and just get some GNC zinc lozenges and take em by themselves (not with any calcium, as the calcium and zinc fight for absorbtion, i think)?
