Vit C & Iron, best time to take?
DS on 03/12/12
Hello all!
I have been given some conflicting information. I've got my chewable multi vit and my chewable iron and vit C. Typically I take my meds before bed or in the early evening, however, I have read that a lot of people take their iron & vit C in the morning while the bottle says to take the vitamin around noonish.
Is there a better time for me to take this for my body to injest it better? Or does it not really matter?
I need some advice, vits are new for me.

Remember Iron needs to be taken on an empty stomach and never anywhere near antacid or any diary. Iron needs an acidic environment to absorb properly that's why you take Vit C with it. Also the Hemotologist told me only to take carbonyl iron (Feosel FE) we absorb it much better than ferrous sulfate.
I generally take mine at night and have had no problems. :)
