Question about Vitaming D and calcium?


If I take a prenatal pill that has 100% vitamin D in the morning along with a calcium pill that has 60% calcium. And later on I take another calcium pill that has 60% calcium....but no vitamin D will my body be able to absorb the calcium considering I took the pill with vitamin D in the morning? Or will I still have the vitamin D in my system to absorb the calcium?

Keep in mind the prenatal pill has only 15% calcium in it. And the calcium bottle says to take one tablet twice daily.

Your body manufactures Vitamin D constantly, using sunlight. If you get 15 minutes of sun each day, you should be fine assimilating the calcium. More important is the calcium type (calcium citrate is the most easily assimilated) and whether the calcium also has magnesium. It's good to take a cal/mag combo whenever possible. It's the balance of minerals that's most important.
