so when is the most effective time to take vitamins?

 

[dullard]

Once a day. That isn't on your list.

I do it right after breakfast

 

[krunchykrome]

I take mine first thing in the morning because it's easier to swallow then since I just woke up.

Right after/during any meal with a moderate amount of fat.

Never take one on an empty stomach. It's a waste.

More info:

The best time to take a vitamin supplement is with a meal. You will absorb more of the vitamins if the supplement is taken with food. This is because there are substances in food that enhance absorption. For example, the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins is significantly increased in the presence of dietary fat. If your supplement regimen dictates taking two pills, then taking one with breakfast and the other with dinner would be more effective than taking them together.

Vitamins aren't like gas for your car. They do not give you instant or even daily energy.

Think of them more like a wax job for your car. Done regularly, it preserves and maintains your paint job.

During/after breakfast.

Sorry to thread hijack, but I didn't want to start a new thread...

So we've established when to take a multi, but any chance I could get some advice on what multi to take? I'm 29 and in good physical shape.
