Vitamin supplements are definitely essential for athletes or anyone who trains hard. Even more so if you take ASS. They do more than just 'keep you healthy'. Remember RDA's are based on a 70kg man not a 100kg strength trainer or similar. Many people forget how the vits and min are involved in nearly all of the essential processes of the body. Including anabolic processes.

Vits should be taken with food as some vits require a 'carrier' and may not be absorbed on an empty stomach. As for time of day/night, it makes no difference.

Also, the time released vitamins aren't proven to work as yet, so the jury is still out.
