When is the best time to take vitamins? Or other supplements?

Looking for some advice to keep things on track......

pretty much whenever you remember to take them. i take mine in the morning with my other med i have to take, but i don't think time of day actually matters. it's easier to remember to take them if you do so at the same time every day, though.

Exactly, I take mine in the morning with breakfast. I leave the bottle with my breakfast food so I don't forget.

Don't know if there is best time. Labels generally say take with meal. Take mine in morning before breakfast.

Most vitamins should be taken with food, it helps your body utilize them. I take mine with breakfast,

I think as long as you take them, that's all that matters. When I take 'big pills' or ones with lots of iron, I have to do it at night because I get sick to my stomach. So I get the gummies now and that's a nice change

When the dr prescribes them.

Eat meals with a little fat if you are taking fat soluble vitamins. Those are vitamins A, D, K and E.

I never remember to take mine in the morning but for some reason I remember every night right after dinner to take them, I guess it's become a habit now.

I take mine every morning on an empty stomach but I know that doesn't work for everyone. The only thing I take at night is a second dose of my joint supps. It's just become habit now.

i take mine after i eat food. my vitamins are only once a day so i usually take them first thing in the morning after bfast.

I take mine at different times during the day, only cause a couple of things (like zinc) shouldn't be taken with other meds, and others because it's recommended to take a couple times a day (fish oil). Mostly first thing in the morning before I make my coffee. Since I won't forget my coffee it means I wont forget to take my vitamins :P

I can take food-based vitamins (not synthetic) anytime, but usually have them early morning when I just wake up. Synthetic vitamins make me vomit no matter if I eat with food, without, or the time of day.

I take my multi-vitamin in the morning before I leave for work. It is just a habit I have gotten into, no reason behind it besides it is a habit I have gotten into.

For anyone taking iron, make sure to take vitamin c with it too...or an orange etc, it enhances it's absorption.
