Supplement Stack Builder

Pick the supplements you take and get a simple daily schedule, with competing minerals spread apart and interaction warnings.

What do you take?

Your daily schedule

Morning, with breakfast

Iron

With your largest meal

Vitamin D3, Omega-3 (EPA/DHA), Calcium

Evening, with dinner

Magnesium

Calcium + Iron

Calcium reduces iron absorption. Take them at least 2 hours apart.

Calcium + Magnesium

Very high doses compete for absorption. At normal doses, taking them together is fine.

General scheduling guidance only. If you take prescription medicines, check timing with your pharmacist; see also the drug interaction lookup.
