When to take Calcium ?

Hi everyone!

If I remember correctly I'm not supposed to take my calcium with my multi vitamins, is that right?  My doctor said it would be okay to take them together, but I'm almost certain there was two vitamins I wasn't supposed to take.  Does anyone know when is the correct time to take calcium?

Thanks!!

Don't take calcium with iron, so if your multi has iron, you should separate them.  If you search previous posts, you will find a wealth of information on this topic.

Thanks Karen!  I thought I was right.  :)

Calcium blocks the absorption of iron so take it at least two hours away from your iron.  Also we can only absorb about 500 to 600 mg calcium at a time, so take it in doses of that amount at least two hours apart.
