I'm wondering about why you're only taking on multi and why you are taking caltrate? We can't absorb calcium carbonate, which is what caltrate is.

1500-2000 mg calcium citrate. We can only absorb about 500 mg at a time, so we need three or four doses a day. Caltrate, Viactiv, Tums are all calcium carbonate. Citracal gummies is tricalcium phosphate. If you want chewable calcium citrate, you'll probably need to order it online although you might find some at Vitamin Shoppe. You can get Citracal tablets or generic calcium citrate tablets at any store that sells vitamins, though.
54-63 mg iron, if you have periods. Otherwise, 36 mg iron. That's total iron, so if your multi has iron in it, count that, too.
B12. 350-500 mcg sublingual, or prescription nasal spray, or shots.
