It is believed that vitamin and mineral supplements should be taken at specific times of the day.
Vitamins are divided into water-soluble and fat-soluble. It would be logical to assume that water-soluble ones should be taken with water on an empty stomach, while fat-soluble ones should be taken with meals with a sufficient amount of fat.
In fact, everything is easier there than you can imagine. You and I are so arranged that we get vitamins from food. Therefore, it is best to take them with food. And then you can not discuss.
Different rules
If you take vitamins on an empty stomach, you can get stomach ache. Calcium, vitamin C, or iron are guaranteed to irritate the stomach.
If you have to take more than 500 milligrams of calcium per day, then even with food at a time, it does not come well. It is best to divide this calcium into two doses.
It is believed that B vitamins are best taken in the first half of the day because they are mildly energizing and can interfere with nighttime sleep.
There is also misunderstanding about vitamin D. Someone advises taking it in the evening and somehow even explains it.
In fact, vitamin D will only work for you after a week. First, it enters the liver and is digested there to some extent, then it enters the kidneys and matures there to an active form. It takes days. Therefore, it does not matter at all when exactly you take it. Best taken with food.

In my opinion, the heaviest supplement is a multi-pill multivitamin that needs to be taken at different times. Most often they complained about him. Have you tried this?
