Is it safe to take these 3 supplements together?
I just bought these products at the drug store, one of the products is called Acai by Nature's Bounty(http://www.naturesbounty.com/PRODUCT/019965) and the other one is called Calcium Magnesium Zinc also by Nature's Bounty(http://www.naturesbounty.com/product/004290)
I am anemic and this is the reason for the iron supplements which i take once a day. I am also lactose intolerant and a vegetarian so i do not get enough of the minerals that support bone health, so that is why i have the Calcium Magnesium Zinc supplement as well. the bottle told me to take 1- 3 of these a day. A friend told me to try the Acai and said it prevented free radicals and has lots of antioxidents and just is really good for you. the bottle also said to take 2 softgels twice a day at meal times.
So my question is it safe to take all three of these supplements together?(iron, calcium magnesium zinc, and acai) that means i would be taking 1 iron supplement, 1 calcium magnesium zinc supplement, and 4 acai supplents per day. is this safe?

Have you talked to your Health care provider about it? Or you can just ask the pharmacist were you purchased the supplements. They will give you the best answer possible.

Lactose intolerant - vegetarian - anemic. Hmm, I wonder if there is a connection.
The only supplement any of us should be taking is a basic multivitamin as insurance, never as a primary source of any micro nutrient.
Being a vegetarian is an ethics question certainly not a health one.
Here are some natural sources of iron.
Red meat
Egg yolks
Dark, leafy greens
Dried fruit
Iron-enriched cereals and grains
Oysters, clams, scallops
Beans, lentils, chick peas and soybeans
Artichokes

Just watch your milligram consumption, you'll overdose on nutrients, consider me i have performed it however i took plenty greater than that so that you must be pleasant. If after you're taking them your belly bothers you otherwise you throw up, simply cut down the dosage.
