FAQ
What is the best time of day to take multivitamin and mineral supplements?
It is recommended that vitamin and mineral supplements are taken after an evening meal as this is when your body is in repair mode and when it most needs those vitamins and mineral supplements. The evening meal also tends to be the largest meal of the day and taking supplements on a full stomach can help ensure maximum absorption.
Can I take my supplements with a cup of tea?
It is best to swallow vitamins and supplements with water. Tea and coffee can effect absorption and if taking probiotics heat may harm the live micro organisms. Don't take grapefruit juice with your vitamins and supplements. It has been found with prescribed medication that grapefruit juice can increase the concentration of certain drugs in the blood. Although the effect of grapefruit juice on vitamins and mineral supplements has not been fully investigated current advice is to not take both together.
