Hi, basic question sorry....

Can I take VB12, B complex, VIt C, selenium and zinc all at the same time? Will it agrivate my tummy or good to go?

Thank you.

I take the B vitamins together and then leave a gap and take zinc and selenium together. I've no idea if taking them all together would upset your stomach but my unscientific thoughts are that it's better for absorption to give yourself time to digest them properly.

I dont think it will agravate your stomach to take them together but generally the advice is to take minerals away from other supplements/levo or they block absorption, thats why multi vits are a waste of time. I take my Bs together wait an hour then take the minerals, I was told to wait 4 hours after minerals, vit d or iron for other supplements/levo.

Taking all at once shouldn't upset your digestion, but they might not work as well.

I take selenium with food late afternoon, zinc on an empty stomach in the evening, B's late morning.

Don't take any supplements within 4 hours of your THs.

OK I'm confused. Which are the vits and which are minerals? I take biotin vit c, selenium iron b12 vit d evening primrose oil, cod liver oil and a lamberts multivitamin. I take these all in the evening with food. I'm feel very well currently.
