Taking all vitamins at once?



Recommended Posts

I wake up every morning at 3am for work and was wondering if I can take all my Vitamins at once in the morning. Someone told me that it's best to split your vitamins and supplements up throughout the day but my work schedule doesn't allow me to stop and take my vitamins throughout the day. I would rather just take them all at one shot. I take a liquid multi, liquid Iron, zinc chewable and B12 drops. Thanks in advance :)

There are Vitamins you can take where it's an all-in-one pill. The one I take is opurity. Good luck.

I may be wrong, but I think that you are supposed to not take Iron and Calcium at the same time because they interrupt one another. Anyone know details?

The Iron and Calcium at the same time is the only combo I think is a no go.

But it doesn't look like yoú're taking calcium yet.

The iron prevents calcium absorbtion or at least that's what my peeps said:)

yea I take calcium Creamy Bites but they are 500 mg each so I take them at 8 hour intervals since we can't take more than 500 mg at a time and my doc told me I needed 1500 a day.

I'm not sure the time frame on the iron/calcium combo:(

Maybe some post-op people will know the answer to that one!

But since you're taking at least 2 of them at other times of the day you'll still be getting most of it absorbed:)

I like to think in terms of good, better, best... it's GOOD to take your Vitamins all at once.. but it's better to try to divide them if you can.... if you can't, then settle for the good, at least you know you're getting them in.. but do remember about the not combining Iron and calcium... I take my iron just before bed that way I know there's no conflict.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
