Vitamin Schedule

[onmywaytoonederland 236]

Can someone please give me an idea of when you take what with what? I just can't seem to get it together with those Vitamins. Not used to taking pills at all and keep forgetting. I appreciate the help.

Depends on what you are taking. I am on everything. I take B12 once a week so I take that on Sunday. Daily I take one Multivitamin, Biotin & a D3 in the morning. I then go workout. Around 10am I take my calacium citrate+D, in the afternoon around 2-3 ish I take another Calcium citrate+D and 40gms of omeprazole, after dinner I take another multi, D3, Biotin and Zyrtec-D.

I was already taking biotin, multi and Zyrtec-D pre-op. If you are forgeting try setting an alarm on your phone. My biggest fer is developing deficiencies so I'm fairly religious about taking my supplements.

Ahh, thank you! I am supposed to take 2 multi, 2 Calcium, a d and a B12. I know you aren't supposed to take certain ones with certain ones.....but even after researching, I am confused! WTH I am a reasonably intelligent person but seem to be having a hard time with all of these schedules, add eating and drinking into the mix and I am ready to have a meltdown!

If you are also supposed to take Iron you must separate them by 2 hours or they cancel each other out.

Pill keeper with am & pm, reminder or alarm on your phone. I'm doing multi Vitamin, Biotin, B12, morning and night. calcium citrate twice a day separate from the Multivitamin because of the Iron.< /p>

Wait which ones cancel out?

[BLERDgirl 6,417]

Iron and calcium citrate. cancel each other out and need to be taken 2 hours apart.

I didn't know that! Thanks for the info!

I take the same. I take the 2 multi, the d and the b12 in the morning. A calcium when I get home from work and a calcium about 3 hours later before bed.

Hi everyone!

Just to confirm, multi in the morning and evening even if the bottle says once a day?

That's what I have been doing but then got confused when I read the bottle!

Thanks!!

[BLERDgirl 6,417]

Yes because there is a question on how much Vitamin absorption we are getting from food most doctors recommend higher doses. The bottle say once a day, but most docs say twice a day.
