Best Time to Take Your Supplements



Supplements can support health, but timing plays a key role in how well they work. Some nutrients absorb better with food, others on an empty stomach, and some should not be taken together.


Magnesium is best taken about one hour before bed, as it supports relaxation.

Vitamin D absorbs better with a meal, especially breakfast.

Calcium is easier on the body when split between morning and evening.

Probiotics are usually more effective on an empty stomach.

Omega 3 should be taken with a fat containing meal to improve absorption.

B complex works best early in the morning.

Vitamin E is better absorbed right after a meal.

Zinc should be taken at least two hours away from iron.


These small adjustments can make a real difference over time.
