  • Huperzine A: Use sparingly (e.g., 5 days on, 2 off) to avoid excess acetylcholine buildup.
  • Since we're using multi-vitamins, B-complex, and super greens, avoid excessive overlap for Vitamin A, B6, B9, Iron, Zinc, and Copper. Check labels to ensure combined doses remain within safe limits.

Supplement Conflict Table

Supplement Avoid Taking With Reason / Notes
Zinc Iron, Copper, Calcium, Magnesium Competes for absorption; high zinc can suppress copper over time
Copper Zinc (in high doses), Iron Competes with zinc; take together only in balanced ratio (e.g. 15 mg : 1 mg)
Iron Zinc, Calcium, Magnesium, Caffeine Competes with many minerals; take separately on empty stomach with Vitamin C
Calcium Iron, Zinc, Magnesium (in high doses) Blocks absorption of other minerals; best taken at a different meal
Magnesium Calcium, Zinc, Iron High doses compete; best taken in evening, separate from other minerals
Vitamin A, D, E, K Fiber supplements, low-fat meals Fat-soluble – take with food containing fat for proper absorption
B‑Vitamins OK with most other supplements Water-soluble – low risk of interference
Super Greens Multivitamin (at same time) May cause excessive overlap in Vitamin A, B6, B9, Zinc, Iron, or Copper

General Tip: Take minerals at different meals or time blocks. Fat-soluble vitamins with food. B-vitamins & Super Greens in the morning are fine.
