|  Several sources suggest taking calcium with meals containing iron-rich foods 
                    lowers the absorption of iron, Lloyd. And, of course, if one 
                    takes calcium it's best to 'balance' that with magnesium, 
                    zinc as well as vitiamin D (to help calcium absorption, especially 
                    in winter months if there is little exposure to sunlight -- 
                    like here in Iowa).
 my 2 cents...
