I know ZMA is an overly discussed thread topic on Sherdog, so apologies in advance.
I was looking at the back of my ZMA tub at the ingredients and I noticed Calcium Carbonate Silicon Dioxide. Now I know that having Calcium in the body whilst taking in Zinc is a no no due to the body prioritising Calcium. So is Calcium Carbonate Silicon Dioxide gonna create the same types of problems or is this ingredient different?. I use ZMA primarily as a sleep aid and I know that the Magnesium is more responsible for that as a relaxant but still I'd like to get the benefits of Zinc.
Can anyone confirm if Calcium Carbonate Silicon Dioxide is gonna cause the same problems with the Zinc as any Calcium would?, or is this ingredient ok?. I ran Google searches on the topic but the answers I got were a bit to technical for me to understand. :redface:
Or in other words, if it looks like Calcium and sounds like Calcium then is it Calcium? - I'm just slightly surprised and disapointed if a company made ZMA and didn't take into account the calcium issue.
