Got yours in?

All I have left to do is my iron and C.

How long should I wait after taking calcium before I take my iron? Can I take my multivitamin and iron at the same time? Thanks.

You need two hours between calcium and iron. If your multi has less than 300 mg calcium in it, you can take it at the same time as your iron. If your multi have 300 mg or more of calcium, the calcium will block the absorption of the iron.

I recently switched to the Multivitamin Celebrate pill and it has 100 mg. of calcium so I don't count it in my calcium count. I take 3 a day. (morning, noon and night) One gets taken with the iron when I don't stay on my schedule during the day. I took my morning vits and then went out of town forgetting to take my vits along so I had to catch up when we returned at 6:00 p.m. I don't like taking this many in the evening as they wake me up but I notice I am more tired the next day if I skip vits.
