I'm not familiar with anything right off hand.
One of the reasons is that Magnesium Glycinate has such a low % of elemental Magnesium. If you are taking 400 mg. elemental, then that requires around 2900 mg. total Magnesium Glycinate since its only around 14% elemental.
2900 mg. x 14% = 406 mg.
The max volume for size 00 capsules is approx. 750 mg. per capsule on most things, so that's 4 capsules to itself.

ZMA XT sells very well for us, so we wouldn't be able to change that one.
ZMA originally stood for zinc monomethionine aspartate; later some changed it to standing for zinc magnesium aspartate - so by either definition, the name is tied to the forms of the things in it.
I'd be open as to suggestions if people would like to see us do a different product though with different forms though.
If we did something for example like:
- Magnesium Glycinate - 400 mg.
- Zinc Glycinate Chelate or Picolinate - 30 mg.
- P5P - 15 or 25 mg.
I'm pretty sure we could get that all in 4 capsules.

Innovapharm makes a product called ZMX (30 servings for $25) that contains:

I had forgotten about that. I like Innovapharm - I use a lot of their Recover EAA.
If we did one, it would be similar to that but not exact.

I could imagine at somewhat of better price point. Individually I am paying less than $10 for 30 day supply of same above dosages

I forgot about this product. I got it free I think and remember I really enjoyed it. An SNS similar would be nice

Are those values/amounts elemental milligrams? As in, is the 450mg of magnesium 450mg of actual magnesium?

I assume so, as the %DV lines up with Steve's ZMA product and others.
I've used that as a gauge since protein bars back in the early 2000s would say "30 grams" of protein... but the %DV was NOT 60% (50 grams is the DV). That's when I realized gelatin can count as protein on a label, but couldn't count toward the %DV. I believe the same holds true when it comes to actual zinc, magnesium, etc.

I refuse to buy protein bars with "collagen" or "gelatine" listed in their protein ingredients list

I would love for a day to come that we had the distribution reach to do a bar.
I never see this brand of bars get talked about, but they're excellent. I like the profile and they taste really good, especially for a clean bar.
