Question 1

I'm trying to figure out if it's okay to take calcium, iron, B12, and D vitamins with milk in the morning, afternoon, and night. I've heard that taking calcium with milk might reduce its effectiveness. Is that actually true? What do you suggest I do?

Accepted Answer

You can take calcium, iron, B12, and vitamin D supplements, but consider the following: take calcium supplements with water, as milk can interfere with its absorption; take iron supplements with vitamin C (e.g., orange juice) to enhance absorption, but avoid taking iron with milk or calcium; take vitamin B12 and D supplements with milk or food to enhance absorption; space out your supplements throughout the day to minimize interactions and maximize absorption.
