Question 1

i take biotin, folic acid, calcium, acidophilus and birth control is that all safe to take together?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes those are all safe taken together. Be well!

Question 2

im pregnant , 14 weeks now. i have prenatal vitamin , calcium , iron and folic acid pills. can i take these together or can i take some together?

Accepted Answer

Take as you wish: You can take the bunch all together.  Iron can upset your gut, and it's easiest if you are taking iron to take low doses through the day.

Question 3

grandma is 88 years old. stick thin. at night she has pain in her legs, due to which she can't sleep. reason? she takes calcium, vit d, folic acid.

Accepted Answer

Not clear: Take her to a good physician. She needs a good workup.  There have good studies recently published which demonstrated that the taking of calcium and Vitamin D together did not improve bone health. That's why you have to do double-blind studies in medicine! Things that at first thought you might think "Sure, that will work." frequently do not!

Question 4

im almost 5 weeks pregnant. can i take vitamin d and iron along with folic acid? when shall i take calcium ??

Accepted Answer

You can: As your nutritional needs will increase with a growing fetus in you.  The best dosing plan for you should come as a joint plan between you and your OB. Best of luck and congratulations.

Question 5

ginkgo biloba, calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamin d3, biotin, folic acid, and fish oil, are these good to take?

Accepted Answer

I don't: Believe if you have a healthy diet that you should take any of those supplements except the fish oil, if you're sure it doesn't contain contaminants, or folate (folic acid) if you're pregnant.

Question 6

im 51....i take a multivitamin everyday.  lately ive been incorporating extre d,c,folic acid, iron, b vit, biotin, calcium, apple cider vinegar, multi enzyme probiotic ... when you start reading articles... you could  take 30 extra vitamins a day!  when

Accepted Answer

Too much can be...: Too much of a good thing can become bad. If a person has a very balanced diet, then he or she may not need to take a daily multivitamin because his foods contain enough. I think each person can take a multivitamin because many people don't have a truly balanced diet. Some people also need extra vitamin D, calcium, folate, omega3, etc..., depending on individual issues.

Question 7

can i use folvite (folic acid) tablet for iron or calcium?

Accepted Answer

Don't understand: folvite  is folic acid - a B vitamin.

Question 8

is folic acid absorption can be interrupted in our body by what we eat( like iron can't be absorbed in presence of calcium) or nothing can affect it?

Accepted Answer

Few Simple Answers: Reality: the rate, speed, completeness may be altered some. None of the issues are as simple as implied by question as stated. The real high-tech is within each of us. Medicine, with scientific assistance, is about working to sort out some of the complexities within us. Basic chemistry principles, applied with fantastic complexity (called biochemistry, i.e. As implemented by all living organisms).

Question 9

16weeks pregnant im taking 3 vitamins is there any possibilities to get a side effects while taking 3 vitamins? calcium+ / iron 27mg/ folic acid? tnx!

Accepted Answer

No: You are doing good. There should not be any side effects.

Question 10

taking already prenatal, folic acid, vit d, calcium... what other vitamin can i add to support my pregnancy? thank you

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy ?: Pre-natal vitamins provided by your OB physician is adequate "vitamin support" for most pregnancies.  Specific vitamin deficiencies , if documented, may be necessary in addition, so consult your OB physician to be certain about the need for more.
