⚠️ Vitamin & Mineral Interactions You NEED to Know!- Multivitamins are carefully formulated with balanced doses to avoid nutrient conflicts. The amounts are lower than individual doses, ensuring nutrients work together without causing absorption issues. HOWEVER if you’re supplementing individually, timing and ratios matter!.. It’s all about harmony! 💊 Calcium & Magnesium — Too much calcium (500mg+) can block magnesium absorption. Aim for a 2:1 ratio (e.g., 1000mg calcium + 500mg magnesium) for balance. 🥩 Zinc & Copper — High-dose zinc (40mg+) can deplete copper levels. Stick to a 10:1 ratio (e.g., 10mg zinc + 1mg copper) to stay balanced. 🍊 Vitamin B12 & Vitamin C — High-dose vitamin C (500mg+) may reduce B12 absorption. Take them at different times for best results. #nutrition #vitamins #pharmacist
Sometimes the answer really is just a glass of water! Drinking fluids regularly can reduce the risk of dehydration. Water or diluted squash are good choices. You should drink enough during the day, so your pee is a pale clear colour. Drink more when there's a higher risk of dehydrating. For example, if you're being sick, sweating due to hot weather or exercise, or you have diarrhoea. Children under the age of 5 should get plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. #health #dehydration #pharmacist #doctor #nutrition #urinecolor

Taking zinc? Here’s how to do it right — because taking it wrong can mess with your stomach and block absorption!” Pharmacist-approved tips: • Best time to take zinc? On an empty stomach, ideally 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals — but if it upsets your stomach, take it with food. • Don’t mix with: Iron, calcium, or magnesium — they compete for absorption. Take those at a different time of day! • Ideal dose: 15–30mg daily (unless told otherwise by a professional). More isn’t always better. • Why take it? Helps with acne, immunity, hair loss, and wound healing. Save this if you take zinc or other supplements — your gut and skin will thank you! #vitamins #nutrition #zinc
