Vitamins (HELP)
You need to take iron at least two hours away from calcium because calcium interferes with the absorption of iron.
By the way, you also need to space out your doses of calcium citrate. The ASMBS says we need 1500 mg a day but people can only absorb about 500 mg at a time, so you need three doses, at least two hours apart.
I take my iron with food, otherwise it tends to upset my stomach a little.
