Who fights who?

I pair my calcium up with one of my dry vitamins (A,D,E and K)

I pair iron up with vitamin C and add a multi

My other multi is included with everything else I need

i have recently had to seperate my A from all my other vits and i am thinking of doing the same with calcium

 

Danni, tell us more about this part... what is happening that taking A separate will help?  Are you testing low on A and taking a higher dose?  How much?

Hey
Well, this whole year I have been border line low A. Even with upping my doses. So a couple vets told me to try taking it away from other vits. So these past 3 months I upped my Vit A to 200,000 and seperated them at least an hour from all my vits and for the first time my A is going up. Slowly but it is! Very excited.
My other labs are good but I am now worried about my K. I am taking 2,000mcg and my K is being stubborn coming up. Right now it's .2
I think I need to take this seperated too. I think other vits are being mean to it. Any suggestions?

I have Superior Source Advanced Triple K enroute to me.  Their blurb says "Superior Source Instant Dissolve MicroLingual® Tablets may be small but they are full potency! Typical tablets and capsules need to be swallowed and are inefficiently absorbed in the digestive system."

I did very well with their Bs and it sounds like this is a way of bypassing our altered intestines.  Taking both vit K2 vites (MK2 and MK4) sounded sensible to me (I wikipedia'd both vites).

I take so many vites that I really just don't worry about all the don't take this with that stuff.  I take them as my time and schedule permit.  So far, so good, no deficiencies and it's been about 10 years.  I don't want to make all this so difficult that I start skipping pills or forgetting what I took when.  To me, it's more important that I just take them.

 

It does concern me that you are so young and don't take iron.  Are your labs good?  Some folks have real issues with iron.  I've been lucky so far!

thats how i am with my vits, except vit A :)

 

i don't' take iron because my stomach and body just doesn't like it. so my values are slowly going down (they are still pretty normal) and when they get a little lower i will do an iron infusion.
