The fact that your multi contains carbonate I see as a bonus. I think it can be a good thing to Mix up your calcium intake. Citrate, carbonate and real dairy products. Then your body has a smorgasbord of calcuim to choose from and utilize. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Calcium is said to interfer with the absorbtion of iron, so take them at least two hours apart. Wish I could reference where I learned that from Vicki,(but cannot remember as that was months ago- maybe it was Dr Warden who told me that one) but when I changed that it helped along with taking the Vit C with the iron.
