LDallas 108 Posted July 9, 2013 I searched but did not find this topic. Can anyone tell me when to take my vits? Example of what i'm asking.. multi with dinner, Iron in morning, D3 at bedtime?? My NUT is kind of snarky so i decided to pass on asking her anything unless it's vital. Just want to make sure i'm getting the most benefit. I heard you're not supposed to mix some things. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpaceDust 585 Posted July 9, 2013 You want to take your Calcium and Iron at least two hours apart, for one thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm wrong...Has not hurt me so going to keep doing it...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marfar7 1,533 Posted July 9, 2013 All these Vitamins need to be separate? My dr requires us to take a chewable muti vit (such as Centrum) but not Calcium or Iron separately. I' going to Walmart to buy them tonite. Should I get separate vitamins or the multi? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I take a 500mg calcium citrate first thing in the morning, one at midday, and one before bed i take a 500mcg B-12 sublingual first thing in the morning.

tesser85 38 Posted July 9, 2013 I take my multi (w/iron) and sublingual B-12 right after breakfast, 600 mg calcium citrate with lunch and 600 mg Calcium citrate with dinner. I use the opurity Vitamins and have had no problems with them. The multi and calcium are chewable and they don't taste bad at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SerendipityHappens 1,594 Posted July 11, 2013 I take a multi without Iron and I take it at the same time as my Calcium citrate/d3 I divide into three doses starting in the morning and ending at dinner time. I take iron before bed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jen35 283 Posted July 11, 2013 As long as you are not taking your Iron and Calcium together you are okay - they don't absorb right if you take them together. So it depends on if your multivitamin has Iron or not. Mine do, so I take my multi (with iron) morning and night. Then I take my calcium/D3 with breakfast, lunch and dinner. I also take a B12 nasal spray once per week. If you don't have iron in your multi, you can take it with calcium and then take your iron anytime as long as it's 2 hours before/after the calcium.
