    Best time to take supplements?

    I've been taking my supplements in the morning just after breakfast. But I've come to question this.

    I was wondering if I should take my supplements on a full or empty stomach? Should I take my supplements nearer to my workouts (in the PM)? Should I take them all at one of spread them out a bit?

    The supplements I take:
    Multi-vitamin
    Multi-mineral
    Fish Body Oil
    Vitamins A, C, and E
    Glucosamine

    Just to note: I take Creatine and Glutamine with my post workout shake.



    Thank for any advice!
    So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
    of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
    about another group that actually does something
    to improve their lives.

    i'd take the multi vits and mins with ya breakfast, the additional vitamins A C and E with lunch, then your fish oil with your bedtime meal, not sure on the glucosamine i'll let someone else answer that 1

    main thing is they you take your vitamins and EFA's with food

    Thanks to you Jodi.

    Do either of you take the Fish Body Oil? Out of all the pills that I take, it's the only one that causes me to have an upset stomach (alone with a fish taste in my mouth for two hours). Does this happen to either of you?

    I take close to 10 Fish oil caps per day. If you take them right before you eat your food, the fish burps will go away.

    The ones I take have 180mg EPA and 120mg DHA. How much should I be getting a day?

    My current goal is growth. I've only been at bodybuilding for a few months and am trying to pack on some pounds. My appromate body fat is 22%. I'm 5'10" and weight 205 lbs and have a large build.

    LOL - That's only equivalent to 1 Tablespoon of EFA's such as Flax Oil or even Fish oil in the oil form, that's really not all that much. Did you read about EFA's?

    EFAs = Essential Fatty Acids?

    I know of them, but lack the details.

    I'd recommend ground flax seeds. Not only do they contain EFAs - omega 3 & 6 but they taste yummy with oatmeal and really thicken up shakes. Better than fish burps any day!

    best thing to do man is always take supplements on an empty stomach because it gives time for the supplements to break down and get to the blood stream i usually take mine around 5 in the morning before i workout but thats me and also amino acids are the way to go when trying to get muscle
