Properly taking vitamins
The best time to take your vitamins depends on the type you’re taking. Some vitamins are best taken after a meal, while it’s best to take others on an empty stomach. Establishing a routine of taking a vitamin at the same time every day will form a healthy habit. It will also help you get the most out of your vitamin supplement. Not every vitamin breaks down in your body the same way. For that reason, it’s a good idea to know if you’re taking your vitamin at a time of day that will give you the most benefit. Best time to take prenatal vitamins
Since prenatal vitamins are a multivitamin, taking them before lunch is an optimal time to absorb all that they contain. A good prenatal vitamin will include calcium, iron, and folic acid, according to the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG).
