vitamins with very fatty & oily meals
THIS is exactly why I laugh at a few people who dole out advice on supplements. Dry is better absorbed by us and that's a fact. However if you slam back all those expensive dry vites with a fatty meal or drink, you will not absorb as much because you are mixing them with fat. I knew someone(besides me) would post this eventually!
Here is the truth according to me. Everyone malabsorbs. Poop has calories and vitamins/minerals in it. All poop, not just ours. Normies ingest food or supplements that don't go together. Happens every day in regular normal meals. It's a fact of life. Supplements are more important to us than they are to normies. So we pay more attention. But it's still performance over time. Nothing you do today matters. What you do every day does.
In the morning, I know I am going to take my pills with coffee more than half the time. And my coffee has HWC in it so plenty of fat. My morning vites do have some of the cheap oil based gelcaps at 4 or 5X dosages included. I don't waste my expensive dry D on morning vites. It takes a normal stomach 4 hours to empty completely. Ours is probably a bit faster. I have dinner at 6 or 7pm and I take my night time vites around midnight. This is when I take all the expensive dry vites. I know my stomach will be pretty empty and intestinal peristalsis slows at night. I want the expensive vites to have more time hanging around their receptors in my small intestine.
To me, this is just common sense. This works for me. I don't claim it will work for everyone. But I do think a common sense approach to supplements makes sense for everyone!
