Here\u2019s what the science says about the best timing for supplements.<\/p>\n<h2>When to Take Vitamins<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-159427\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/11105116\/foods-high-in-vitamin-d-600-supplement.png\" alt=\"vitamin d supplement | Foods High in Vitamin D\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The ideal supplement timing for vitamins can vary depending on which vitamins you\u2019re taking. And as always, it\u2019s important to talk to your doctor before beginning any supplement.<\/p>\n<h3>Multivitamins<\/h3>\n<p>It can be helpful to take a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/an-argument-for-multivitamins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">multivitamin<\/a> with a meal so the fat-soluble vitamins can be more easily absorbed. Some people feel nauseous when taking certain vitamins or minerals on an empty stomach, so taking them with food may also help to curb that \u2014 plus, making it part of your routine, like with breakfast every morning, can help you stay consistent.<\/p>\n<h3>Zinc, magnesium, vitamin D<\/h3>\n<p>On the other hand, the best time to take a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/foods-high-in-zinc-benefits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">zinc<\/a> supplement, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/foods-high-in-magnesium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">magnesium<\/a> supplement, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/foods-high-in-vitamin-d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vitamin D<\/a> supplement may be at night, since these nutrients \u2014 either alone or when combined with other ingredients \u2014 have been linked with sleep quality, says David Sautter, a NASM-certified fitness nutrition specialist and personal trainer in St. Petersburg, FL.*<\/p>\n<h3>Iron<\/h3>\n<p>Research suggests that the best time to take iron supplements is in the morning on an empty stomach with a beverage high in ascorbic acid, like orange juice. These factors allow your body to <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/37357807\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">absorb more iron<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>When to Take Sports Supplements<\/h2>\n<p>Follow these guidelines to get the most out of your performance supplements.<\/p>\n<h3>1.
