The Best Time to Take Vitamins, According to Experts
Taking vitamins at the right time can maximize their effectiveness. Here’s what experts recommend:
- Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K): Take with a meal containing healthy fats for better absorption.
- Water-soluble vitamins (B-complex, C): Can be taken on an empty stomach or with food.
- Iron: Best absorbed on an empty stomach, but can cause upset stomach. If so, take with food.
- Multivitamins: Generally best taken with a meal to aid absorption and reduce stomach upset.
- Calcium: Split into two doses, one in the morning and one in the evening, for better absorption.
Remember, consistency is key. Establish a routine that works for you and stick to it for the best results.
