A Short List of Hints to Improve Vitamin Absorption:
- Take vitamins with your meals to improve your nutrition. Many supplements are best absorbed by the body if consumed along with food.
- Check a vitamin guide, such as the one put together by the American Dietetic Association, if you are considering taking a new vitamin. Information on “Popular Dietary Supplements” can be found at the Office of Dietary Supplements website (see link).
- Take certain vitamins in conjunction with other supplements to improve your nutrition. For instance, vitamin D aids the absorption of calcium supplements, while vitamin C helps in the absorption of iron.
