Should you always take your medication/supplements after food?


Question:


Answers:
Not necessarily. In some cases, food helps protect the stomach from being irritated by the medication/supplement. Certain nutrients are enhanced with food, but in other cases, food can affect the absorption of the product. You need to read the medical inserts or about each of them online.

Other Answers:
Depends on the medication; supplements should be taken with milk if at all possible (I know some people can't).
If that is what it asks for, yes. Otherwise there are possible interactions that reduce the efficiency of the pills.
The directions are usually printed on the bottle.. read them carefully.
Vitamins should always be taken with food, so you body can absorb them quicker. Other meds, check bottle, some must be on empty stomach or with food. Always follow directions on bottle.
