MulitVitamin, morning?, noon?, night?

gravityhomer · Sun, January 25th, 2004, 02:05 AM

Anybody have any theories on when is the best time in the day to take a once-a-day multivitamin? I figure it probably doesn't matter but I was just wondering.

Hi,
I'm not sure when it's best in terms of the way your body uses it, but i take mine in the morning, purely for the psycological (is that spelt correctly? lol) benefit. I think it kinda gives a boost for the start of the day knowing that i've taken all my supps correctly.

Greeno.

The brand I take (Opti-Men by Optimum Nutrition) take two/day. So I take one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

The one I take is a one a day and I take it in the afternoon.

Yeah, for Lisa they should call it a "One-A-Month" vitamin.

I try to take mine twice a day spaced about 12 hrs apart.

Once a day in the AM after I eat otherwise they make me sick. Not sure if its better in AM or PM but i find it easier to remember in the AM.

Thanks all, and the Stones. Morning sounds good to me, easiest to remember.

Morning, definately, especially if you have a time released multi. Probably the easiest to remember too

You're right -- it doesn't matter when you take it, as long as you take it. The same time every day is best.

John, What brand of multivitamin do you take?

I was thinking about taking the AST Multi Pro 32X
here is a link http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/ast/multi-pro.html

What do u think...is this a good multi to take?...it seems to me that it over does it on some of the vitamins.

Thanks for your help.

according to his FAQ ::

Not many. Here is a list of every supplement I use, and why I use it [color=#11bbff](below links open new browsers)[/color]:

Multi-Vitamins. A good multi is important, especially for athletes. I've used the [color=#0000ff]Eclipse Complex 24 multi-vitamin and mineral[/color] with excellent results, and I just started taking the [color=#0000ff]AST Multi-Pro 32X[/color].
