Does anyone know if......(another vitamin question)
Well, Opurity Chewables say they only need to be taken once a day. Or you could take Centrum that you swallow and take two at once.
Whether or not we can absorb that much of everything at once is a question, though.
Can I ask why it's important to just take it once a day? Since we have to take calcium three or four times a day, why is it hard to just take a second multi with one of those doses of calcium?

I didn't think we could take the multi with the calcium, so I have been spacing out the dosages and with taking the calcium 4 times a day also just seems like i'm taking vits all day long (and sometimes I forget to take them). I just thought taking a quick shot of a liquid multi in the morning would be easy.
I just ordered bariatric liquid multivitamins from wellesse.com. I am not sure how often you have to take it, but my Bariatric Advantage chewable vitamins are very constipating, so I am going to try the liquid. They should be delivered in a few days. They also sold liquid calcium citrate and liquid vitamin D. Says these products are also available at Pathmark and Rite Aid, but I didn't feel like going on a wild goose chase, so I ordered them on-line.
You can take your multi with calcium, it's just the iron you cannot take with calcium. So, if you get your iron from your multi, don't take the calcium with it. If you take your iron separate, take it at least two hours apart from calcium.
