Most people take their daily stack the wrong way and don’t even realize they’re losing absorption, effectiveness, and results.
I used to think timing didn’t matter… until I discovered how much my habits were interfering with nutrient absorption and hormone balance.
Here’s how to actually take your daily supplements for maximum benefit:
Vitamins A, D, E, K: Fat-soluble—take with a meal containing healthy fats to boost absorption.
Vitamin C: Up to 500mg at a time, best on an empty stomach. Avoid pairing with calcium or B vitamins.
B-Complex Vitamins: Split your dose: half in the morning, half early afternoon. Avoid taking late—it may disrupt sleep.
Calcium: Limit to 500mg per dose. Take morning and lunch—avoid combining with iron, magnesium, or high-zinc supplements.
CoQ10: Fat-soluble and sensitive to interactions. Take with a fatty meal, but consult your doctor if on insulin, warfarin, or anticoagulants.
Fiber: Can block the absorption of meds and nutrients. Take separately—at least 2 hours apart from everything else.
Iron: Take on an empty stomach if tolerated. Pair with vitamin C for enhanced absorption. Never take with calcium, caffeine, magnesium, or dairy.
Magnesium: With or without food, but avoid timing it with antibiotics, diuretics, and acid-reducing drugs. High doses of zinc can interfere too.
Multivitamin: Take with food to reduce stomach upset. Avoid taking alongside mineral-heavy supplements.
Probiotics: Take on an empty stomach, ideally 30 minutes before your first meal.
Every nutrient has an ideal time and condition to shine. Don’t let timing mistakes cancel out your progress.
