Hi, I can't figure out where to ask this question, so I will try here. If this is not the right place, maybe someone can lead me there.

My question is, At which meal should I be taking my multi-vitamin?

I don't think it really matters with a multi-vitamin

I have the best luck if I take my vitamins with my biggest meal since they tend to upset my stomach at times.Also love to find ones that you can take in divided doses so it's not so much at once.I agree with Rhonda about it probably not really mattering when you take them.

If I don't take mine in the morning with breakfast, I will totally forget to take it at all as that is when I take my meds.

I'm with Lori-I take mine with breakfast. My brain functions a little better in the AM!

Thanks everyone for your answers. I wondered about that because I also take Viactiv Chews and I used to take one at lunch and one at dinner. Then I read an article in a magazine that said you had a better effect if you took the chews one at breakfast and one at lunch. It said you would see improvement in weight as well. So I changed to breakfast and lunch for the chews and I am seeing some weight come off.

Thanks again for answering. I've been taking a vitamin at suppertime for years so I might as well stick with what I'm used to!
