When Should I Take My Vitamins?
February 5th, 2012Vitamins can be a useful supplement to a healthy diet. One important fact to understand is that some vitamins require a fatty medium in order to be dissolved. These so-called “fat-soluble” vitamins include Vitamin A, D, E and K. I recommend my patients to take their multivitamin with breakfast or perhaps with fish oil capsules. In addition, Vitamin D requires the additional step of sunlight to become active hence morning dosing would be more effective.
Please let your physician know about the vitamins you are taking as these can sometimes interfere with medications, such as vitamin K with Warfarin (Coumadin).
