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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm 33 and just a regular person trying to make healthier choices. I've been thinking about adding ghee to my diet daily but I'm unsure which one is better for health benefits - cow ghee or buffalo ghee? Can you help me understand the differences or what might be better for someone like me?
Both cow and buffalo ghee offer health benefits, but cow ghee is generally considered superior due to its higher levels of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which may aid in weight management and immune function; however, choose a high-quality, grass-fed, and cultured ghee from either source to reap the benefits.
