Calcium/magnesium supplement?

Question

So I finally found a vitamin that has iron in it that doesn’t give me nausea and it doesn’t have calcium or magnesium in it. Anyone taking a combo of these and have one they like? Also curious as to when to take it? The prenatal leaves them out because I guess they affect iron absorption so not sure I should take them all together at night...

Answer

Iron is generally best to take on an empty stomach to be absorbed most effectively or with something with vitamin c like OJ. Calcium does inhibit it’s absorption so that makes sense that they aren’t in the same vitamin. I would probably do the calcium in the morning and the vitamin with the iron right before bed so if it upsets your stomach you can hopefully just sleep through it. I need the iron but struggle taking it because it makes my heartburn 1000x worse.
