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. |
i have never been a fan of time release vitamins and i take all of mine with meals, I do take a lot of vitamins, but on recommendation because of various defeciencies (i swear i am falling apart).
have tried leaving them off and really do notice a difference in my over all health and training ability. do most ppl here take a mutivit? if so, which one?
