   The best time of day to take vitamins is probably when it is most convenient for you. Set up a routine time so that you remember to take your vitamins every day. Read the labels of your vitamins. Many vitamins need to be taken in divided doses. If that is the case, spread your vitamin doses throughout the day.

   Most vitamins can be taken with food so before or after a meal is fine. Again, make sure you read the label on the vitamin bottle. It should tell you if the supplement needs to be taken on an empty stomach.

   Here are some other vitamin and mineral supplement tips:

   Calcium carbonate should be taken right after a meal
   Iron supplements should be taken on an empty stomach
   B complex vitamins can be taken with food if the B complex vitamins make you feel queasy
   Don’t take vitamins with alcohol

   I don’t actually know but I take multi-vitamins myself and I always take them at breakfast. Usually I remember to take them better at that time for some reason as well… :)

   I’ve been told by a doctor and a nutritionist to take my multi vitamin in the evening. When we sleep our body repairs itself and that would be the ideal time for it to absorb the vitamin. Different vitamins have conditions based on how they react with other foods or chemicals. I’d go by what the bottle says and you can always call and ask the manufacturer if it is okay to use your plan. You wouldn’t want to find out later that you neutralized the tablet and thus wasted your money.

   Pharmacists also give information free of charge.

   I searched for "biotin vitamin" and then read the back of the bottle for instructions.

   a half hour before you eat when you first wake up in the morning is the best time to take your vitamins.
