Vitamins/supplements

[Back~To~Amy 307]

I am trying to get a set schedule for taking my meds and my vitamins/supplements. I take the following vitamims/supplements:

B-12

Biotin

Calcium

Multivitamin containing Iron

I'm thinking that I can take all of the above except Calcium at one time in the morning. Then, I can take my 3 doses of calcium throughout the day. I also think I can take my 2 meds with all of the vitamims/supplements in the morning. I will check with my doctor, pharmacist or nutritionist about that though. I'm just tying to simplify things and this seems the way to go. That is, unless anyone knows if I shouldn't be combining some of this. Thoughts?

Oh, and 2,ore things:

1.) How long after I take my morning stuff before starting my calcium?

2.) How many hours apart do I need to spread my calcium doses out?

Thanks!

You should Wait to start you calci at least 2 hours after your Multivitamin with Iron otherwise te Calcium with bind with the iron and then it's useless to the body. Also, you should take calcium then wait 2 hours for the next dosage. My schedule is 8 am for the multivitamin. Then at 10:30 am I start my calcium dosage and wait 2 hours for each consecutive dose. As far as your meds having a drug interaction .. Ask your pharmacist..they will know!
