Content: Many of us may need individual vitamin supplementation, e.g., vitamin D and calcium are two of the vitamins that address needs that many of us need to meet. The following is a basic guide for the best times and ways to consume vitamins: The B vitamin group includes thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B-6, niacin, biotin, vitamin B-12, folic acid and pantothenic acid. If you are taking any of these B vitamins they can all be taken at the same time. Best time to take the B’s is in the morning on an empty stomach. These vitamins can also energize you — another reason to take them early in the day and not at night. Water soluble vitamins include vitamin C and most of the B vitamins. Many of these are not naturally produced in the body or stored, which is why it’s important to track food sources or take supplemental vitamins. Best time to take water soluble vitamins is in the morning (see the guide for the B’s above) on an empty stomach (wait 30 minutes before eating) but divide doses if you are on any high dose selections. You can also take them two hours after a meal.
