The calcium you're taking is calcium carbonate, which we can't absorb. We need calcium citrate.
The D3 and B complex is fine.
We need a sublingual b12 that dissolves under the tongue, or else the nasal spray or shots.
As far as iron goes, the ASMBS says if you menstruate, you need to take an additional 18-27 mg iron. Otherwise, the iron in your multi is enough.

Calcium citrate supplements usually contain D3 as well.
You can get generic calcium citrate tablets anywhere that sells vitamins. If you want chewable calcium citrate, you'll probably have to order online. I like Upcal D, which is a powder you can mix in any drink. YOu have to order it online, too.
