Not all vitamins behave the same way in the body, and certain combinations. In this small read, we will break down the ideal timing for common vitamins and minerals so you can get the most out of your supplements and support your health more efficiently.

Why Timing Matters When Taking Vitamins and Supplements?

Many people overlook the importance of timing when it comes to supplementation. But when you take your vitamins can directly impact their effectiveness. Taking your vitamins at the wrong time may reduce their effectiveness or even cause unwanted side effects. The body absorbs nutrients differently throughout the day, thus, some vitamins need food, while others work best on an empty stomach.  Paying attention to when you take your supplements helps ensure they work efficiently, support your body's natural rhythms, and minimize digestive discomfort.
