How can Calcium and Iron be taken together? Is that okay?Updated 18 days ago

Yes—it is okay to take calcium and iron together, especially when using our Complete Bariatric Vitamin Formula, which is carefully formulated to meet ALL ASMBS Guidelines in a single supplement.

Why This Works

You may have heard that calcium and iron supplements shouldn’t be taken at the same time because they can compete for absorption. This is partly true, but there’s an important exception.

There are two main forms of iron:

• Heme Iron – Found in red meats, poultry, and fish.

• Non-Heme Iron – Found in plants and animal tissue, and the form used in our supplements.

Research has shown that non-heme iron—the type of iron in Bari Life products—has little to no interaction with calcium. That means you can safely take your multivitamin, calcium, and iron together without reducing your iron absorption.

Our Complete Bariatric Vitamin Formula is designed specifically for this purpose, so you get all the nutrients you need with confidence and convenience.
