When do you take your vitamins?

wendyneilson · September 2014

I've been taking them at night and usually it's fine, but tonight I've not been able to sleep! They made me SO hungry/nauseous so I finally just gave in, got up, and made some tea and cereal. Today is going to be a LONG day at work!

Anyone have luck taking vitamins at a different time? I usually avoid mornings (due to nausea... of course). Or does anyone spread them out over the day? Right now I take a vegetarian prenatal multi, veg DHA, B12, and B complex.

I take mine after I eat. Yes insomnia is driving me crazy. I just want to sleep.

I take liquid omegas in the am and a calcium, folic, and b complex with lunch. I do better when taken with food.

Usually after lunch (my biggest Mel of the day and while I'm at work. I tend to forget when I'm at home

I take mine in the morning but took them at night yesterday because I forgot in the morning. I wonder if that's why I slept like crap last night?

VeggieFan · September 2014

I take mine right after breakfast, which works great for me, but for those suffering nausea and are unable to eat, it might not work.

Can't take mine in the morning due to m/s, but my DHA supplement is supposed to be taken with food, so I take mine with dinner. Maybe you could try that? Taking them with food all the time might help. I know if I take mine on a empty stomach it makes me feel crappy, no matter what time of day

I used to take them after breakfast, but the all day nausea seemed worsened by this habit. For the past few weeks, I take them right after dinner, and it's been a bit better. He only problem I'm having if forgetting..I've set a phone alarm for this week to help me remember.

I usually take them in the evenings after my dinner has settled. Otherwise I'm burping up fish oil and it's really gross.

redneckmomma25 · September 2014

Whenever I remember. Could be afternoon or evening or before bed.

OliveMom3 · September 2014

In the morning with my coffee.

8w5d As recommended, I started taking folic acid before we started trying. I found that it made me nauseous every morning (before we got pregnant!). I now take all of my vitamins after dinner, before bed. I think the full stomach helps and I have been feeling great during the day.

MudLover · September 2014

I take them after dinner while cleaning the kitchen.

pnutg · September 2014

I take mine before bed and I eat something with them. Some nights I still wake up hungry and scarf down some crackers.

Two in morning, two at night. Able to take on empty stomach (MegaFood Baby & Me), unless I try to choke them down without water. DHA oil in smoothie or hot cereal.

I take rainbow light in the morning with breakfast. I have to take them with food otherwise I feel nauseous. I like taking them in the morning bc they help me to feel more alert, which is good bc I stopped drinking coffee altogether.

Usually after dinner.

fartsandcrafts · September 2014

I take mine first thing in the morning when I'm too groggy to really think about it. The smell of the prenatal gets to me if I think about it (it smells like fish food). Lately I've been burping up the DHA pill fishy after taste (so gross), so I may switch that to before bed.

NaughtyNiner · September 2014

Before bed with a 1/2 or 1/4 of a Unisom.

keifekm · September 2014

I take mine in the AM while I eat breakfast. It sounds like everyone is different

JaneShops · September 2014

Morning, & I deal with the nausea upset stomach. Mine isn't to the horrible degree as what my friends experienced. So id rather a couple crappy hours in the morning, than lose precious sleep hours
I've tried mid day, but then the symptoms just last longer

Goodluck~

I take omegas at lunch and omegas and prenatals with dinner. I take medication for hypothyroid when I wake up in the morning and Dr said to separate them - anything with minerals needs to be taken 3-4 hrs after taking thyroid meds.
