Daily vitamin supplements

Vitamins are natural substances found in plants and animals. The body uses these substances to stay healthy and support its many functions. There are two types of vitamins: water-soluble and fat-soluble.

Water-soluble vitamins are easily absorbed by your body. The fat-soluble vitamins do not get absorbed using bile acids (the fluids which are used to digest fats). The body does not store large amounts of water-soluble vitamins. The unnecessary water-soluble vitamins are removed by your kidneys and come out in your urine.

When should you take your daily vitamin supplements?

The maximum amount of vitamins should be taken with food to enhance their absorption.

This is particularly true of oil-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A and E, coenzyme Q10, and the carotenes. In addition, protein in the diet helps mineral absorption. This does not mean you need a full meal with your vitamins. A few pieces of fruits are just will also do.

The water-soluble vitamins such as the B vitamin are generally well-absorbed without food but I would still recommend taking them with food. Vitamin C, which is water-soluble, can be taken with or without food. If you take a very large amount of any particular vitamin, such as vitamin C, the dose can be divided so that you take it two to four times a day. This improves absorption and it reduces the amount excreted.
