Hi Michael-Thanks, I appreciate your tip. Later, when I have a little time, I will try to look that up and research it a bit. I've been suspicious that there might be something I'm doing or not doing to optimally absorb iron, so this is a great. Perhaps I could stand to take an extra C supplement in addition to the C in my multi, if this turns out to make sense after reading up. (Next thing you know, I'll discover I'm doing something to deplete C...) I'm pretty sure it's hard to OD on vitamin C, unlike some other vitamins.
Get this: the label from pharmacy says all kinds of stuff like, "Don't take x hours before or after dairy, caffeine, grains, dairy...everything and anything you might possibly think up..." But the pharmacists were all vague about specifics: "Just take it!" :)
Thanks again,
Laima
