What is in ZMA Tech?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 3 capsules. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zma | 2,500 mg | ||
| Vitamin B6as Pyridoxine HydrochlorideVitamin B6 (Form: as Pyridoxine HCl) | 10.5 mg | 620% | Higher than 65% of 15,277 products listing vitamin B6 (median 6 mg). |
| Magnesiumas Magnesium AspartateMagnesium (Form: as Magnesium Aspartate) | 450 mg | 110% | Higher than 95% of 14,003 products listing magnesium (median 86 mg). 1.3 times the adult UL a day. |
| Zinc Mono-L-Methionine SulfateZinc (Form: as Zinc Mono-L-Methionine Sulfate, and Zinc Aspartate) | 30 mg | 270% | The label names the compound (Zinc Mono-L-Methionine Sulfate); its amount is likely the compound's weight, not the zinc it holds, so it is not placed among other products. |

Is that a lot?
The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:
- At 1 serving a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 450 mg of magnesium, 1.3 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.
