Will certain supplements clash and block absorption?

I'm currently taking cod liver oil and glucosamine with breakfast, a mutli vit and vit d as I don't get too much sun light with dinner. Before bed I have zinc tablet.

I am about to try CLA for a month; it recommends I take it with breakfast, lunch and dinner. I wondered if by taking this, it could prevent the absorption of some of the other supplements?

Hi Mel

There are no known negative interactions nor is there major competitiveness for absorption except perhaps minor conflicts between a few of the minerals in your multi. If you take your multi with a meal, there is nothing to worry about regarding the respective absorption of the micro-nutrients.

Most reports of competition for absorption between various foods, supplements, etc are over-stated.

There are certainly some supplements and foods that shouldn't be consumed together but the ones you mention are not among them.
