Taking liquid vitamins is a convenient and efficient way to get the necessary vitamins and minerals your body needs. But, timing is key when it comes to vitamins, and taking them at the right time can make a difference in their effectiveness. In this blog, we'll explore the best times to take liquid vitamins, including Vitamin D3, and discuss the difference between fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins.

Water-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins differ in their solubility, absorption, and storage in the body.

Water-soluble vitamins, which include the B vitamins and vitamin C, are easily dissolved in water and are absorbed directly into the bloodstream from the small intestine. Excess amounts of water-soluble vitamins are excreted in the urine, so it is difficult to overdose on them.

Fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamins A, D, E, and K, are absorbed along with dietary fats in the small intestine and then stored in fatty tissues and the liver. Some fat-soluble vitamins may be better absorbed if taken with a meal containing dietary fats. For example, vitamin D is fat-soluble and is better absorbed when taken with foods containing fat, such as nuts or avocado.

Here are a few general rules that you can follow for the vitamins that we offer:

Vitamin B12: We recommend taking our B12 drops in the morning or before a workout. Due to the energy boosting effects, taking them first thing in the morning can give you an energy boost to start your day, or give you the extra boost you need for exercise.
Trace Minerals: You can take our trace minerals at anytime of the day. We love taking them after a workout to replenish lost electrolytes and to refuel our cells. You can add them to your water, coffee, smoothie or tea, which will add nutrients and help carry them to your cells.
Vitamin D3: Being a fat soluble vitamin, we recommend taking our D3 drops with a meal, specifically one with healthy fats. This will increase the absorption and effectiveness.
Elderberry: You can take elderberry any time of the day. We recommend taking it as a way to boost your immune system especially during cold and flu season. Enjoy it in a warm lemon tea with honey and you’ve got yourself the ultimate immunity cocktail.

Taking liquid vitamins is a great way to ensure that your body is getting the necessary vitamins and minerals it needs to function properly.
