My bottle of ZMA says I should avoid having calcium in my stomach when I consume the ZMA.
Can anybody explain why that is?
Thanks!

Why shouldn't I have calcium with ZMA?

calcium competes with one of the minerals (pretty sure it's zinc) for absorbtion and, in layman's terms, calcium wins

Nah, You're right about the absorbtion, but I think it's magenesium, not zinc, that competes for absorbtion. They basically control the amount of calcium in your bones by counteracting each other I think. I read this a long long time ago though, so you may be right.Originally Posted by beast69calcium competes with one of the minerals (pretty sure it's zinc) for absorbtion and, in layman's terms, calcium wins

Calcium uses magnesium and zinc to be assimilated into the bone. If you take ZMA with calcium it will be robbed and used for purposes other than Test and IGF-1 production.
