Does the time of day affect the benefits of your vitamins? Just curious.

    I take adult Gummy Vitamins. I can take them any time because they don't make me feel sick to my stomach.

    One a days I take in the morning, two a days I go with breakfast and dinner unless it says something different. I don't think timing matters but some of them do work better with meals and some better on empty stomach.

    I was always told by nutritionist to bury your vitamins.. eat some then take them then eat again. This way if you do have a weak stomach you wont be upset from them and you wont taste them all day either.

    I take them right after breakfast. I know myself too well; I'll forget otherwise. Also, they upset my stomach if I don't eat something first. Doesn't have to be much, a banana or piece of toast will do.

    According to a recent article my husband was telling me about, you should NOT take vitamins at night. I usually take a multi-pack and split it; half at breakfast, the other half mid-afternoon.

    I think it depends entirely on your body. I usually take mine in the a.m. sometimes before breakfast, sometimes after. But when I have taken them at night I haven't had any problems or perceived extra benefits.

    I buy fancy vitamins AGH and they say take 4 a day, on an empty stomach.

    They don't make me feel sick like my old walmart vitamins or my prenatal's.

    Plus they help with my PMS

    I thought that night time was the best time for some vitamins and supplements (according to Dr. Oz). Do you know reasons we shouldn't take them at night?

    I take my vitamins and other supplements mostly in the morning. I have a few that 'll toss back later in the day, but not many.

    I don't know if time of day affects it's effectiveness.
    But I always take mine in the morning.

    all day long! I had gastric bypass, so I take some with breakfast, some with my morning snack, some with lunch, some with my afternoon snack and some with dinner.

    I take 14 pills a day to make sure that I get all my nutrients. If I took them all at the same time, I would be full!
