If the six times consecutive classic Olympia champion physique, Chris Bumstead has many things good, but even legends make mistakes, such as the icon shared in a warning story that everyone advises to ensure that they take the recommended dosage when using supplements.
“Something happened to me a few weeks ago,” Bumstead started via a YouTube video of September 23, 2025. “I have almost an overdose on a natural supplement.” De Ster explained that when he recently showed an Instagram story in the aftermath, many of his followers thought that the big man had touched the food. Instead, Cbum revealed that he was accidentally known too much of the Nootrope, known as Huperzine A.

How does Chris Bumstead overdose about Huperzine A?
The bodybuilding icon explained that he took the sample of a manufacturer of Huperzine instead of a certain product. “But it had to be four pills,” he said. “I took eight, of which I didn’t think it should have been such a big problem, went on with my day, worked out, went to the office, showered, everything was fine.”
Soon Bumstead was flushed and turned red. He became nauseous and later threw. It got so bad that Bumstead couldn’t even drive home. Instead, he made the gym, which is partly. With sweat streams and his heart rate units, Bumstead collapsed on a couch and was so disabled that he couldn’t even work on his mobile phone.
“It must have been the thing I have taken, what’s going on?” He asked in panic. In total, Bumstead says that he was incapacitated for approximately four hours, so that he remained hydrated with small sips of water. “Long story short, the formula was written as 200 milligrams of Huperzine, instead of 200 micrograms,” the bodybuilder explained. “For those who don’t know; a microgram is 1,000 milligrams. So I took that double. So I took the dose of Huperzine 2000 times and it just hit me in the face.”
