Practical advice

What to tell your doctor

No urgent need to discuss, but always keep your doctor informed of your full supplement and medication list. Say: "I take Vitamin B6 and ZMA — is that OK?"

Safer alternatives

Safe to stack together. Optimization tips: take fat-soluble supplements (CoQ10, vitamin D/E/K) with a meal containing healthy fats. Water-soluble supplements can be taken any time. Space high-dose minerals 2 hours apart for best absorption.
