YOu can take multivitamin compounds containing all these in one capsule Studies on human subjects have shown that calcium (Ca) can inhibit iron (Fe) absorption, regardless of whether it is given as Ca salts or in dairy products. This has caused concern as increased Ca intake commonly is recommended for children and women, the same populations that are at risk of Fe deficiency

Hello, Iron and calcium supplements should never ever be taken together,they interfere with each others absorption. As far as vitamin E supplements are concerned,i hope you are taking them under doctors recommendation.As self medication can prove fatal.
