Vitamin administration

[itsmekarenlee 129]

Hi everyone When taking your Vitamins and suppliments do you take them all at the same time? I take 1 Multivitamin, 1 2000mg vit d, sublingual vit B complete, 1 Fish Oil/Omega 3 pill, 10,000 mg Biotin and 2 Chondroitin/glucosamine tablets at one time. My one year bw came back fine, for what he tested (my MD/FP missed a lot of tests though because he didn't know, I don't think, but we'll get them all in Dec. I don't have a bariatric Dr anymore). I take the 500mg calcium chews in the middle of the day but I usually always forget those. I wish I could just take them with the pills I take in the mornings and get them over with.

I was wondering- if taking all those pills at the same time are they all getting absorbed ok? Because I have heard we can't take the 1000mg Calcium at one time because of the absorbtion.

You need to separate the Calcium from the Iron and have at least 2 hours separation. The Iron is probably in your Multivitamin. Also you cannot take all the calciums at once. It will not properly get absorbed.

Right. I got that down, IF I remember to take the stupid calcium :/ sure wish I could take bith calciums Syu same time.

Is there a magic max mg number for any med/vits/supps?
