Taking all vitamins at once?

[LonghornNiner 75]

I wake up every morning at 3am for work and was wondering if I can take all my Vitamins at once in the morning. Someone told me that it's best to split your vitamins and supplements up throughout the day but my work schedule doesn't allow me to stop and take my vitamins throughout the day. I would rather just take them all at one shot. I take a liquid multi, liquid Iron, zinc chewable and B12 drops. Thanks in advance

There are Vitamins you can take where it's an all-in-one pill. The one I take is opurity. Good luck.

I may be wrong, but I think that you are supposed to not take Iron and Calcium at the same time because they interrupt one another. Anyone know details?

The Iron and Calcium at the same time is the only combo I think is a no go.

But it doesn't look like yoú're taking calcium yet.

The iron prevents calcium absorbtion or at least that's what my peeps said:)

yea I take calcium Creamy Bites but they are 500 mg each so I take them at 8 hour intervals since we can't take more than 500 mg at a time and my doc told me I needed 1500 a day.

I'm not sure the time frame on the iron/calcium combo:(

Maybe some post-op people will know the answer to that one!

But since you're taking at least 2 of them at other times of the day you'll still be getting most of it absorbed:)

I like to think in terms of good, better, best... it's GOOD to take your Vitamins all at once.. but it's better to try to divide them if you can.... if you can't, then settle for the good, at least you know you're getting them in.. but do remember about the not combining Iron and calcium... I take my iron just before bed that way I know there's no conflict.
