Depends on what kind of iron you take:  iron salts such as fumarate, etc , take separate from calcium citrate  and B-12...but HEME iron can be taken at any time, with food  and with all your other vits...no problemo...

Heme Iron is Proferrin as far as I know unless it is available under other brand names

Edited to add: forgot to mention, with heme iron you do not need to take vit C to increase absorption and you can take your heme iron with  your meal and /or any of your other meds...best kind of iron to ingest as is absorbed in the intestine...great for RnYers and DSers...

You're right, heme is a totally different thing.

 I forget, heme is the Proferrin that you order online?  What about Bifera?

Heme is Proferrin, yes.  I think Bifera is a combo of heme and one of the other irons (one of the non-heme ones, maybe carbonyl?).

 thanks for this info and the suggestion.  The vitamin thing does seem so overwhelming and I really appreciate you sharing this.
