Vitamins and minerals

[Guest guest]

I have been reading with great interest the posts on taking vitamins

and mineral supplements and what goes with what. I am now wondering if

I am taking mine wrong and would appreciate any feedback from. Here's

my daily schedule:

Morning: 1 Flintstone multi-vitamin (without added iron)

1 50 mg. zinc tablet

1 25 mg. carbonyl iron tablet (bought from Vitalady)

1 500 mg. vitamin C tablet (chewable)

Mid-Morning: 1 500 mg. calcium citrate capsule (with added magnesium,

vitamin D, boron, and 7-isopropoxyisoflavone - also

bought from Vitalady)

Mid-Afternoon: 1 500 mg. calcium citrate capsule

Dinner: 1 Flintstone multi-vitamin

1 25 mg. carbonyl iron tablet

1 500 mg. vitamin C tablet

Fiber therapy tablets

1 softgel

Bedtime: 1 500 mg. calcium citrate capsule

If I am sick with a cold, then I double up on the zinc and the

vitamin C. I am also going to be adding a prescription potassium tablet

to this as my potassium levels have been consistently running low, but I

won't get these until next week when I see my PCP.

Should I be taking my supplements differently or is the way I am

currently taking them okay? I want to make sure that I get the most

benefits from the supplements. And I also make sure to take my calcium

at least 2 hours after my iron tablet. Thanks for any feedback on this.

Hugs,
