Timing Tops Supplement Usage

The last time I was with my doctor, we were talking about the supplements and vitamins we take. He advised that you should not just pop pills but understand how to get all the benefits you can from them, and prevent any side effects. This led to the topic of when the best time to take them was.

The first thing we agreed on was to read and follow the directions that are printed on the package or bottle. There are recommendations on whether they are best in the morning, afternoon or evening based on the individual supplement.

I checked my directions and verified the following:
Fish Oil (Omega-3) Take 2 to 3 times per day with meals
Vitamin B Take 1 per day with a meal
Vitamin C Take 1 per day with a meal
Vitamin E Take 1 per day

If you are in doubt as to the directions for a supplement, the recommendation is during or right after a meal, unless there are other directions. Remember to hydrate, (drink plenty of fluids) as well.

Another tip about vitamins that I got was to give them a chance to work. Take them consistently to get the most benefit to your health. Normally it takes 2 to 3months before you feel the full positive effects of adding nutritional supplements.

Finally he said when I come in for my exams to keep him filled in on what I am taking. If I forget he asks me if I am still taking them.
