OTE=mrsD;662802]If you are not diabetic, then 250mg to 500mg a day of Vit C is okay. Take it with the iron. Iron is absorbed with acid. If your stomach acid is low, the Vit C will take its place to help the iron get into your bloodstream.

Since you are borderline, with B12, 1000mcg a day of methyl form should be enough for you. Take on an empty stomach.[/QUOTE]


Hi mrs. D,
I was at the drugstore and found that the Slow Fe is not 325mg which is what the Dr. told me to take. The pharmacist recommended iron 65mg that is from ferrous sulfate 325mg. I am going to take that with the Vitamin C 500mg before bed because I take synthyroid in the morning. I did not see any Iron with Folic Acid. Is it usually in the same tablet. I brought Folic Acid to take with the iron. Is that right?

Unfortunately, I brought the B12 1000mcg, after I got home realized it is as Cyanocobalamine. I started it but I am not sure if I should just buy another type. What do you think?

Can I take all of these supplements together before bed? I believe they all need to be taken on an empty stomach. I want to be sure nothing interferes with the synthyroid. I do take ambien at night.

I am so confused. Sorry for so many questions. I appreciate your help.
