TrayS Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 So, now that we have recently opened the door to unofficially TTC... (no one in my family is reading this, right? ).... I've started to take supplements. I am finishing off some regular women's one a day vitamins (already checked and all ingredients compliant) but bought a Mg and Ca supplement since these weren't in my multi and are recommended as part of the prenatal recommendation (or so I've read....) However, I haven't taken any yet because I am wondering, since Mg can be used as a sleep aid, I'm not sure about whether I should be taking this in the evening only. Also I'm not sure if I should be taking all my vitamins at once. Does this inhibit absorption at all? Should I space them throughout the day? Once these are through I'll find myself a proper prenatal but just curious what to do in the meantime. Any thoughts appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted December 24, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 24, 2012 If you are eating the Whole30 way, you are unlikely to need calcium supplementation. I find magnesium mildly sedating, so I would not want to take it except before bed. If you haven't already, you might want to read two posts by the Hartwigs on supplements... http://whole9life.com/2010/08/whole9-supplement-evaluation-checklist/ http://whole9life.com/2010/09/supplements-part-ii/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
