The importance of dietary supplements and the right time to take them

Due to changes in diet, lifestyle, and sun exposure, many people are no longer able to obtain all the nutrients they need from food alone. Dietary supplements can therefore be a practical addition to a healthy lifestyle.

Supplements in the morning

Iron

Iron is best absorbed on an empty stomach. Coffee, tea, and dairy products can reduce absorption. Combining iron with vitamin C can support absorption.

Forever Daily is a multivitamin containing iron, among other things, intended as a daily supplement.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is fat-soluble and is best taken with a meal containing fat (such as eggs, olive oil, or cheese). Taking it in the morning fits in with the natural daily rhythm.

Magnesium malate

Magnesium malate is often used during the day because it can contribute to energy levels. It is best taken separately from meals to prevent stomach upset.

Supplements in the afternoon

Multivitamins

Multivitamins are generally better tolerated when taken with or after lunch. Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed more efficiently this way.

Omega 3 (fish oil)

Forever Arctic Sea is best taken with a high-fat meal, for example during lunch.

Vitamin B12

Forever B12 Plus is sublingual (under the tongue) and can be used at any time of the day.

Zinc & Selenium

Zinc and selenium are best absorbed separately from large meals. They are included in products such as:

• Vitolize Women
• Vitolize Men
• Forever Nature-Min
• Forever Immublend

Supplements in the evening

Curcumin / Turmeric

Curcumin is often taken in the evening as part of a recovery routine.

Forever Move contains Curcumin C3 Complex® and NEM® and fits into an active lifestyle.

Magnesium (citrate / glycinate)

These forms of magnesium are often used in the evening because they can contribute to relaxation.

Forever Calcium combines calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D to support bones and muscles.

Other supplements

Probiotics

Forever Active Pro-B is often taken on an empty stomach or taken before bedtime.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is water-soluble and can be taken at any time of day.

Summary

The right time of intake can make a difference in how supplements are absorbed. Choose wisely, do not combine unnecessarily, and use supplements to complement a healthy lifestyle.
