These nutrients give you energy and are best taken with your breakfast:
Iron – Vitamins A and C increase iron absorption when taken together.
Zinc is well tolerated when taken with breakfast. If you take high doses on a regular basis (30-50mg) add copper intermittently or take them in combination.
Bio-Strath or
B complex
vitamins improve digestion and increase energy.
Antioxidants
such as astaxanthin, alpha lipoic acid, Pycnogenol, and grapeseed extract, typically boost energy, so morning is a great time to include them.
Lunch is a good time to take your daily
multi. Vitamin/mineral combinations work synergistically with food to provide a balance of nutrients for your good health.
Calcium/magnesium combos are best taken with food at lunch time and/or suppertime.
If you use a second dose of
calcium/magnesium, this is a good time to take it! Stomach acid is high, and absorption is enhanced.
Vitamin D
is believed to be most effective when taken in the evening.
Vitamin K, D, and Essential Fatty Acids (omega 3’s and GLA) taken together enhance absorption. If you suffer from constipation, omegas taken in the evening will improve elimination.
Magnesium can be taken anytime, but if taken before bed it will improve sleep. Liquid chlorophyll is a wonderful plant source of magnesium that cleans and builds the blood, improves elimination, and has a profound healing effect on the intestines and colon.
Natural Health Pioneer Dr Bernard Jensen says, “When your innards are green, your innards are clean!”
Probiotics should be staggered. Changing the timing of your probiotic regularly provides healthful flora at different stages of digestion i.e. on an empty stomach one morning, half hour after lunch the next day, at bedtime the following day, and so on.
If you use
herbal remedies, they are usually considered a whole food and should be taken on an empty stomach unless otherwise stated on the label.
