iron supplements question
not 100% sure but I think 2 hours is considered spaced out
here is what I do know
vit c goes with everything and makes it absorb better
iron and calcuim do NOT get taken together
cal absorbs better at night but you still need to spilt it up b/c you can not absorb enough at a time (even normal folks) to get all you need
so something like
6- multi
9- iron
noon multi
3 iron
6 iron and b12
I would add cal to both mutis and at bedtime - making sure it is cal citrate

Thanks!! I want to get on a routine where I will be successful at remembering to take them.
So right now I am on my school schedule so it is
wake up chewable and b12
first break at 9:30 iron and oj
second break at 1:30 iron and oj
dinner time iron and oj
bedtime chewable
the next thing I might need to add is the calcium.

This is my schedule and it's working pretty well for me as far as a schedule.
Breakfast -
Multi-Vit
Calcium
Lunch -
Calcium
B-12 sub. Methylcobalamin 1000mcg
B-50 Complex
Omega-3 Chewy
Dinner -
Calcium
Multi-Vit
Vit D
8-9pm-ish -
Calcium.....depends on calcium consumption during the day or time involved. I usually don't go to bed until midnight or after so I have plenty of time before this dose and the iron. I can always drop this one if/when needed.

Just a question...where is your Calcium? and extra B1?
Iron can be taken with C and if you take it copper, but it needs to be at least 2 hours away from everything else, ESP. calcium. It should be taken at least an hour away from protein, and whole grains.
You should probably also take some extra D.
