At first i was taken my multi vitamin but then i stopped. I got some more today plus calcium. My nutritionist told me not to take them together but i don't remember how long she said between the two. Can anyone tell me?

It's about 4 hours but I do take them together because I am lazy.

I am lazy as well and take them together

You should wait 1-2 hours between calcium and iron because the calcium will block the iron absorption because they bind to the same receptors.

I take them together, too. Or, at least the first & second dose. I was told to take 500mg of calcium three times a day, because our bodies only absorb 500mg at a time. My chewable multi's are one/twice a day, so the only calcium that gets taken alone, is the one in the evening. Oh well...... I'm someone who never stuck to a vitamin regime for any length of time, so this is pretty darn good

I take mine in the evening. Multi before food and then calcium chews a bit afterwards. If I don't have food with the multi it gives me heartburn but that happened before the band too. And I sometimes use the calcium chews as a dessert. They're like a little bite of caramel to me. For those that aren't taking your vitamins I strongly encourage you to do so. Our bodies really do need them.
