    .... I remember they shouldnt be taken together as they could interfere or so? Does anyone know if they were ok to take in the morning (no breakfast), they dont raise sugar levels, do they? I am taking
    Cal
    Cranberry with Vitamin C
    Mag
    Vitex
    Folic acid

    Thanks xx

    no, they won't raise sugar levels but even if they did it would quickly drop back down again

    Thanks! So would it be a good idea to take the vitex in the morning, then folic acid and magnesium tablets with lunch and then teh calcium (liquid form) with dinner? I assume cal and mag are best taken with food? Are there any reasons calcium shouldnt be taken at dinner time? I dont want to sacrifice any of my scarce hours of sleep due to indigestion or so
    Thanks in advance, n

    Calcium should be taken with Vitamin C...or it isn't absorbed as well by the body.

    oops, really? I thought that was what the Vitamin D was for, sigh.... My cranberry caps contain vit C. Does anyone know if I can take the cranberry before the Calcium liquid? I have bulk bought the cranberry supps as there was an offer, so I cant really not use them now

    I have decided against vitamin D by the way, too much nutrients...

    Take your calcium with a meal. There is always some vit. c in meal for example at dinner time. Vegtables contain vit. c or your dessert when it's with some fruit.
