calcium citrate and iron...

[Guest guest]

I was reading a post about the citrate in the group and wanted to pass on a

little tidbit of info. Since the vitamins are so essential for us now none of

us want to be taking them and find out later we did something wrong. Well if

you take a multivitamin with iron , or an iron tablet, make sure you take it

either a hour or two before or after the citrate or it will cancel out the

calcium which as we all know is vital to us. Just thought I would pass this

along. I

keep talking to some who didn't know it. I had to learn through my nutrition

class.

Your very welcome Candi. My sister had had the surgery many months down the

line before she even realized she was taking the wrong calcium.

true wolfie,

my NP at the office told me that to take my multi vit in the morning and the

calcium at night - she said it didn't matter if it was citrate or not - that

may be confusing b/c i've heard different on here but i bought chewable b/c

they recommend viactiv and its chocolate and i hate chocolate - i also told

her i couldn't stand the flintstones vit and could i keep taking my prenatal

and she said sure - i was worried about it going down b/c its pretty big but

is coated and it went down fine.
