Do not take iron and calcium together. Calcium blocks the absorption of iron. Take them at least two hours apart.
If there is iron in your multi and you want to absorb that iron, do not take calcium with your multi. If there is no iron in your multi, or if you don't care about absorbing that iron, you can take calcium with your multi.
The ASMBS says we need 1500-2000 mg calcium citrate a day and we can only absorb about 500 mg at a time, so take three or four doses a day, at least two hours apart.
You can take B12 and D3 with anything you want.

Can we take two doses of sublingual b12 throughout the day? (say one in the am and one mid-afternoon?) I don't want to get too much but I have a feeling I'm not getting enough. I take calcium citrate, a good women's multi, Vitron C ( Iron with vitamin c) and the sublingual b12. I just started up again on my vitamin regimen and I'm pretty sure that I'm anemic (easily bruised, and chomping on ice all the time urgh).
I have to get back to see the surgeon and nutritionist and I'm also going to see if they can make a referral to a good plastic surgeon that they are affiliated with. I have so much hanging skin on my legs, stomach and my breasts are all but non-existant (used to be 42D, now I'm lucky if I'm a 32B) and I want to see what insurance will cover if it worded as reconstructive surgery. All of this of course has to happen in like 3 weeks from now because my daughter Anna is going to be home recovering from having her brain tumor removed again on 3/12.
Hope things are going well for you!

I hope all goes well with your daughter.
