Hi Everyone :),

i have a question about vitamins.  I understand I will be taking a multi, cal citrate, vit D and B12.

When does everyone take theirs... Before meal, after meal, with meal, all together, separate?  Also, which is better pill or liquid or chew? 

Thanks!!!

I space my cal &D dose through the day. I understand that cal is better taken in smaller doses and you need to take d with them. If you take some types of iron/synthroid cal could interfere.  You might want to ask your pharmacist how you should spread your requirments.

I am 4 months out and this what I do:

with my protein shake in the morning: multivitamin(iron), d, b12

midmorning or lunch: calcium/d

Before bed: calcium/d, d, omega(flax, borage oil, fish oil) capsule

Ask your centre what would be best for you, which vitamins and what format and dosage we need varies from person to person.  I have used the chewables, films, drops, liquids, as well as the pills, all have advantages and disadvantages. For me pill form is the most practical, with chewables a close second.  I try to keep it as simple as possible, same routine each day. Hope that helps.
