hi everyone, 

Can I take iron and calcium at the same time? Or is it calcium and multivitamin together? 

I have to take synthesis and it interferes with multivitamins, calcium and iron. I also have to take 2 iron a day so I like to split them up so it's not so hard on my tummy.... Any advise?

You cannot take calcium and iron together, there has to be at least a 2 hour time frame between them. So make sure your multivitamin doesn't have iron in it as well, if it does then take your iron with them. And the calcium 2 hours later. 

Hope that doesn't confuse you lol.

I take three iron along with a host of other stuff. I just make sure every two hours I take something.I start at 5:30 each morning so I can get them all in. Hoping I can cut a few of them out soon.Blood pressure has been great and they are thinking about taking me off my blood thinners. It sure is a pain isn't it.
