Calcium impact iron absorption???
Okay, a question for you ladies. According to the label, my calcium supplement is supposed to be taken with food, three times a day. (Jarrow-Bone UP) I have been doing that, for about six months, and am beginning to wonder if my body is getting the iron it needs. I was anemic in my 40's, (peri- heavy monthly periods) and feel like I could be going down that road again. I am post-menopausal, and also over 50, so I'm wondering about vitamin/nutrient absorption anyway. I eat beef a couple of times a week, and oatmeal w/milk every morning? Do I need to change my supplementation habits? Any input would be welcomed, thanks so much. Julie
