Can calcium supplements be taken in conjunction with others?

Nathan H asked:


I heard once that calcium will block the absorption of other key nutrients if they are taken after te same meal. Is this true? I usually like to split my supplements (like multi) up and take them throughout the day. A full calcium citrate supplement is taken in three pills, so I’m trying to figure out how to get an adequate amount of calcium every day.

    Good to take calcuim with Vit. D and Vit. C. Both increase absorption.

    Never take with Iron. They block each other.

    The brand take is organic with 21 ratio of calcium to absorb properly so theres no question of any block or interference.

    The two interact and too much of the calcium then you will also need magnesium supplement to balance the one can cause deficiency of calcium is ok if you take mega doses of the other one in excess.
