Which vitamins/minerals should you take separately?

I’ve heard that some minerals inhibit others’ absorption. Do you have info on this?

Answer

Minerals should be taken separately, and I don’t even take a multivitamin. I have separates for magnesium, potassium, and then one full spectrum mineral pill to allow for choice. I take them with food. Yeah, there are studies and what not about inhibition, but really I just don’t like getting vitamins from pills much.

Answer

Calcium plays well with magnesium, but not with iron. Calcium and iron should be taken at different meals.

Vitamin D enhances calcium absorption. Iron absorption can be hindered by the tannins in tea and wine, and can be enhanced by taking it with orange juice.
