Is it good to take your vitamins at night?
It is good to take vitamins in general if you aren’t getting enough nutrition from
your diet.
I heard that you should take them at night for better absorption.
Yes, they’ll sit in your stomach all night and digest. But the same is true during the
day unless you pop a pill right before a marathon.
Is there a bad time to take vitamins?
For actual vitamins, there is no bad time. Don’t take them without water, since the
fluids help you break down and absorb the vitamins.
I was told to take weight loss supplements in the morning, while others are best at night.
Most weight loss supplements are just appetite suppressants or stimulants. If you take it
at night, you won’t sleep.
Let’s say it is a vitamin B pill. When should I take that?
Whenever it doesn’t make you look like you’re popping too many pills. Though if you are
taking appetite suppressants, taking vitamins at that time reduces the risk of malnutrition.
I eat sensibly.
Most people popping weight loss supplements are going to drink shakes or eat a frozen
dinner at night, not nine servings of vegetables to get all the micronutrients they need.
I heard that you don’t want to take them all at once.
True, because then your body has trouble absorbing them all. And you should check with your doctor
on timing since some supplements could interfere with medication you are taking.
I heard you shouldn’t take vitamins in the morning due to poor absorption.
That’s only if you take them on an empty stomach, since your body will push it on through.
Take vitamins with a small snack so your body stops to digest it.
Someone said you have to take vitamin B or C with dinner.
Those are water soluble vitamins. If you take it without any water or food, it is flushed
out of your system.
And it adds to the pile in the bottom of the porta-potty.
Or it feeds the plants at the water treatment center.
