Vitamins:HELP! What ones go together & what ones should I avoid taking together?
I have looked in the Q&A library, but have only found questions on WHAT vitamins to take, nothing on what shouldn't be taken together. These are the things I take: 2 childrens chewables plus Iron w/beta carotene (Spring Valley from Walmart), 1 Sublingual B-12 1000 w/folic acid from GNC, 1 prescription thryroid pill that needs to be taken on an empty stomach, and today I received my calicium citrate(Solaray brand). Its an orange flavored chewable wafer. 4 of them have 1000mg, and that is one dose. I know that we shouldn't take more than 500mg at a time. So I know that I should split the dose up, but what I dont know is what I SHOULDN'T mix with the calcium (or anything else for that matter!). My question is: what is the best & most efficient way to be taking all these vitamins? PLEASE HELP, I'M SOOOOOO CONFUSED!!!!!! Since the thyroid pill should be taken on an empty stomach, I take it when I get up at 7am. I dont eat till at least 9am (or later), so after I have my first meal, I take my 2 multivitamins, and the B-12, since the bottles says chew them preferrably after a meal. When should I take the calcium? Does it matter stomach full or empty? What about mixing it with the vitamins w/iron? If you shouldn't, how long should you wait? SEE WHAT I MEAN!!! LOL SERIOUS STATE OF CONFUSION!!!! Anyone in the know, I will name my next child after you, if you will answer this question!!!
