ZMA Side Effects
Most people don't experience any ZMA side effects
One way to look at ZMA side effects would be to examine each component of the supplement.
ZMA is made up of zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6.
The following side effects are very rare when taking a ZMA supplement.
Too much of these minerals
and vitamins will likely come from other sources, not your ZMA pills.
However, there are
always people who seem to abuse everything.
Not sticking to the instructions and taking way too
much might lead to a side effect.
Always use a responsible dosage.
Having too much zinc can result in:
- Requiring more dietary copper
- Nausea, vomiting, dehydration
- Stomach problems
Too much magnesium in your body might give you:
- Diarrhea
- Gastrointestinal distress
A vitamin B6 overdose may lead to:
- Numbness of hands or feet
- Muscle Spasms
- Sleeplessness
- Agitation
Like I said, most people don't get any side effects from taking these supplements. The only time you might
experience ZMA side effects would be from taking way too much.
There are always the cases where people pop three pills before bed and wake up with an upset stomach.
Most of these cases can be related to an overdose.
If you are prone to upset stomachs, start with a
lower dosage.
If you are taking other supplements, make sure that when you take ZMA supplements you are not
overdosing on zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6.
If your other supplements already give you enough zinc and
magnesium, don't take ZMA supplements.
Try not to get more than 50 mg of zinc daily, and 1000 mg of magnesium daily. Check the labels of your
other products.
Also, if you have any
pre existing medical conditions always check with your doctor first.
Remember, with supplements everyone reacts differently. ZMA is considered a very safe supplement.
Its ingredients are natural so you shouldn't worry about any side effects.
If you buy from a good manufacturer
and you follow the instructions, you probably won't get any side effects.
Product Recommendations:
If you're interested in taking a ZMA supplement and want to avoid side effects, I would recommend Optimum ZMA.
