Can someone help a girl out please...

I take 2 - ZMA (450mg of Magnesium, 30mg of Zinc Total) capsules before bed, but I was doing some research on supplements today, and read...

"Do not take anything that has calcium in it with zma! Calcium competes ferociously with the absorption of it!"

Obviously my multivitamin contains calcium (125mg), is this substanial in affecting the absorption of the ZMA? I don't really see it affecting it too much, but if the benefits of chosing a differnment Multi is recommended then I will do that. I love my ZMA!! :confused:

Is this even true? Supplement Gurus HELP!! :cool:
 
Yes, it's not a good idea to get calcium together with ZMA.
And ZMA should be taken on empty stomach too.
Why don't you take your multivitamin in another moment?

I do take my multi vitamin in the am and my ZMA on an empty stomach 30mins before lights out, so in that case it's cool right? That statement just meant don't take both at the same time because that is what affects absorption? I just read it wrong and thought it was a generalized statement?

Thanks Batman!! :)

Aaaahh, that's perfect!;)
 
just a suggestion, you may want to consider buying a pill (magnesium, Zinc, combo) instead of ZMA. you get the same vitamins for 1/10 the cost! Generally you will get more of both also. As for the tiny bit of b6 found in ZMA. it is so small it does not even have an effect. But if you are concerned about it, just take a B complex vitamin. Just an idea!
