Can I take these at the same time?? My brain hurts when I try to keep track of what I can take and when, so I thought I would run this by everyone here. Can't remember. I have a once a week Vitamin D I need to take today, but I had my iron a couple hours ago. I feel like I should be fine taking it now, but I know sometimes you are not supposed to take them together. Anyone know by chance??

I didn't know there might be an interaction. Thanks for posting, I learned a lot from researching your question. From what I read a few hours between is fine.

You need to have at least 2 hours in between Iron and Calcium with Vitamin D.It has to do with absorption.I know it is confusing but you will get the hang of it.

Iron and D by itself is fine. If there is calcium in it, it's not.

You should have Vitamin C with your iron. 200 mg of C for every 30 mg of elemental iron.

I went to iron and calcium patches for that exact reason... could not get into the hang of separating iron from dairy or calcium and I was resorting to takng iron in the middle of the night ;). I have my 6-mo labs tomorrow, so we will see if it is working. I am halfway through my third monh on patches.
