Which products of True have B6?Updated 15 days ago
ZMA and Greens:
Our ZMA is formulated based on solid research to support recovery and sleep. We take safety incredibly seriously, which is why we have proactively adjusted our formula to be well within the safest margins.
There has been a lot of media attention regarding Vitamin B6 toxicity. To put your mind at ease, let’s look at the numbers:
The Limit: The Australian safety guideline (NHMRC Upper Level of Intake) for adults is 50mg per day. This is the amount considered safe to take every day long-term.
True ZMA: We have reformulated our ZMA to contain just 1mg of Vitamin B6 per serve.
The Result: One scoop of True ZMA provides only 2% of the daily safety limit. You would need to take 50 scoops in a single day to hit the upper threshold!
Cases of B6-related side effects generally involve individuals taking massive doses over long periods. For example, widely reported cases often involve intakes of 260mg+ daily (that’s over 260 times the dose in our ZMA).
Our Philosophy: We believe in "effective, not excessive." By keeping our B6 at 1mg, we ensure you get the absorption benefits without getting anywhere near the danger zone.
Stacking with Greens If you are taking other True supplements, you are likely still well within the safe zone.
Example: Our Greens formula contains just 0.2mg of B6 per serve.
Total Stack: Even if you take ZMA + Greens daily, your total is only 1.2mg—still miles below the 50mg limit.
Our Recommendation As with any supplement, more isn't always better. We recommend sticking to the directed dose (one serve before bed). If you are taking high-strength multivitamins from other brands, just check their label to ensure your total daily B6 intake remains below 50mg.
