Brief Answer:
Ideal schedule explained.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
So let me clarify one more thing for you.
Calcimax is calcium tablet and Livogen is iron tablet.
Iron and calcium cannot be taken together, as they will not be absorbed.
Calcium is to be taken with meals.
Iron is to be taken on empty stomach.
Its absorption is enhanced with vitamin C preparations such as amla, lime juice, orange juice etc.
So the best schedule for you is -
Get up in the morning and have a light breakfast.
Take Livogen with juice as directed after 2 hours .
Then take Calcimax with lunch or dinner.
Hope this helps you.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
