When is the right time to take vitamins?

When is the best time to take calcium and a multi-vitamin? With meals? Just after a meal? On an empty stomach? Will I absorb more of the vitamin if I take it with a meal? I'm currently taking 3 500 mg capsules of calcium citrate taken seperately throughout the day. How much time between calcium pills should I give before taking another one? Also, I'm taking a multi-vitamin seperately from my calcium. Lastly, I take my iron pill (which has iron, folic acid and instrinsic factor in it) at bedtime. Thanks for your help!
