Re: Vitamins...which kind, how much, when??????

[Guest guest]

I take in hte morning with my coffee

my prenatal, my multi w/ iron, my folic acid 800 mcg, and my b-12 sublingual

1000mcg. I take a calcium plus d about 2 hours after that and once again in

the evening when I remember. I put them by my computer so I remember to take

them since I check my email all day. You can take the calium both at once but i

want to try to get it to absorb well so I take it at different times to see if

it makes a difference but i don't think it does so i will probably start

taking them both at once.

Dianne,

Viactiv does not have the proper type of calcium for us. We need calcium

citrate not calcium carbonate. We cannot absorb the calcium in viactiv

because it requires stomach acid to access it. We don't have enough stomach

acid, hence we can't access it. As for taking your flintstones and a

prenatal and folic acid -- please check with your doctor and make sure you

are not getting too much of any one vitamin> Some vitamins in excess will

wash out of the system while others will build up to toxic levels. Double

check that. You do not want to take calcium and iron together. As long as

you avoid taking those at the same, you should be okay. Oh and dont take

them with grapefruit/grapefruit juice. That can prevent abosrption of some

medications and vitamins.
