Each day I take a multi-vitamin, Vitamin C, Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D, aspirin and the only prescribed medication of Lipitor. Should any of the above not be taken together or at the same time? Is there a better time of the day any should be taken?

I would try and take Vitamin C in a divided dose twice a day,the rest over a couple of times with food.

If your taking lipitor I assume you have heart problems. Some people experience muscle problems when taking statins,due to CoQ10 depletion. CoQ10 provides energy for the millions of cells in our muscles including the heart. I would recommend you take 200mg of CoQ10 once a day. Magnesium is also important for heart rhythm. Normal dosage is 500mg per day over a divided dosage 2x250.
