  • How do you take your supplements?

    So I'm now taking a pretty large variety of pills it feels like... multivitamin, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chromium, CoQ10, Vitamin C, essential oils, B Complex...do you guys tend to take them all at once (assuming they are single dose) or spread them out with different meals? For ones where I am taking multiples of a lower dose pill to reach the dosage I want for the day should I take them all at once or spread them out to keep the dosage more constant?

    You regimen is very similar to mine - and I swear by taking them every day. I usually take them all at once with water and eat a little about 10-20 minutes later to improve absorption. The exception is fiber, which I usually take separately so it won't inhibit nutrients from being absorbed, and extras, when I feel compelled to use them, I'll take sometime in the afternoon, such as ginseng or extra minerals.

    I'm not saying that is necessarly the best timing, but it works and is easier than trying to juggle technicalities. Consistently taking them matters most.
