Nutritionist Explains Optimal Supplement Timing for Absorption

Just like how medicines need to be taken at specific times, supplements also work best when timed correctly.

Nutritionist Nmami Agarwal explains that your body's natural clock affects how it uses vitamins and minerals.

For example, Vitamin D is best taken with breakfast, like 'morning sunshine' for your body.

Magnesium is like a sleep helper and should be taken before bed.

Calcium can be split between morning and night for strong bones.

Probiotics need an empty stomach to work their magic.

Omega-3s and Vitamin E need fatty foods to be absorbed well.

B-Complex vitamins are good for energy, so take them in the morning.

Importantly, Zinc and Iron don't get along, so take them at least two hours apart.

Timing is just as important as the supplement itself!
