Vitamin question

in Trying to Get Pregnant
A little while ago I remember reading that prenatals shouldn't be taken at the same time as some other supplement, but I forgot what it was. Something to do with absorption or something? Does anyone remember what it was? Was it green tea? Calcium?

    Green tea blocks folic acid absorption.

    Iron and calcium also need to be taken at different times because they lower the efficacy of the other if taken together.

    Oh thanks I think it was your post that I was remembering too. How much time between taking calcium and my prenatal do I need to wait?

    Your body can only handle 500mg of calcium at a time, anything greater will go to waste.

    I am glad I have read this because I have been taking calcium with my prenatal.  D'oh!  Guess I will have to do PNV at night and my other supplements in the mornings. 

    Where did you all read this?  I have TCoYF and Before Your Pregnancy and neither have mentioned this.  I am thankful that we have this board where we can share knowledge like this.
