Many people take one or more vitamins during the day to supplement their diet. But does it matter when you consume them? Are there any special times when you should drink them?
Experts agree with the idea that vitamins should be taken almost at the same time, every day. So it is important that you do not change your schedule. On the other hand, absorption is also very important - that is, their absorption by the body. It is not enough just to put them in your mouth and drink them.
Some vitamins are better absorbed when taken with food. These include fat-soluble supplements like vitamins A, D, E and K, according to Medical News Today.
Mineral supplements like magnesium, zinc and calcium are not well absorbed when taken together. They fight each other, which can eliminate overall efficiency. Take individually, preferably after a meal to avoid stomach upsets.
B vitamins, which include niacin, folic acid, thiamine and riboflavin, in addition to B6 and B12, provide energy after consumption. For this reason, it would be good to consume them in the morning.
Some vitamins may interact with medications, so before making them part of your routine, consult your doctor or pharmacist in advance.
