Best Answer

If you are taking individual iron and calcium supplements, they should not be taken together. Some research suggests that calcium could have an effect on iron absorption, though other inhibitory factors, such as phytate, might also be factors.

No. You would put too many supplements into your system, the iron and calcium would mix into your bloodstream, and you would have a possible stroke (for a woman). For a man, the iron and vitamin D would go into the bloodstream and travel downwards. The calcium would do no harm, but the blood traveling downwards will collect in your groin and cause it to go erect.

Another view

I have never head of either a stroke or an erection occurring from taking iron and vitamin D together. I take iron with vitamin D all the time. The only thing I wouldn't do is take iron and calcium at the same time...they impede on each other's absorption in the intestinal tract.
