with food.\nUnless vitamins are taken with food, they won't bind to anything & you'll simply pee them right out. Be a waste of your money.

B 12 is found only in animal products.  If your vitamin B 12 is low try eating more lean meat and fish and eggs.  However, a common problem is that your digestive system may not be able to absorb the B 12 from your food.  In that case the only solution is a once a month injection.  I do my own.  It is simple, easy to do, and important because lack of B 12 in the body can be VERY serious.

Taking them together won't hurt, but it is important to take the Synthroid on an empty stomach- 1/2 hour before a meal or 2 hours after.

It depends on how low your b12 is and how well you absorb it. It could last a week, a month or 7 years as your body can store upto 7 years worth of b12.  Best bet, seek medical advise from your Dr. Good luck

it's not a good idea to exercise on empty stomach.i would advise that you take a light meal 3-4 hours before a track meet.drinking carbonated drinks before you exercise will only give you a feeling of energy as the sugar it in will fuel you.a light sandwich is ok tho' but try to avoid heavy meals just before you run as it might make you nauseated.

Well, the B12 that they "add back" to cereal because they are processed, is a synthetic form that isn't as easily absorbed by the body...you would have to eat ALOT of cereal and thus probably gain weight and ruin your B vitamin balance...your best option is to go to the health store and buy METHYLCOBALAMIN...it is the ACTIVE form of B12 that will be the best absorbed by the body...I don't eat cereal...All cereals, including organic ones, go thru a machine that alters the natural grains, making them less nutrient dense and taking all the enzymes out so its harder to digest...then companies add synthetic vitamins back...only they don't add all the vitamins that naturally come with the grain.  Stick to whole grains like oats and quinoa.  And get that B12 supplement!

It's from a defiency in Vitamin B 12. Eat more B12 rich foods or take a supplament. It'll go away within 48 hours of taking a complex B vitamin.

I take my main vitamins and herbal remedies in the morning right after breakfast.  Then several of my herbs are taken two or three times a day.  I take the three-times after lunch, and the two-and-three times after dinner.  That way it's harder to forget them.  However, it means that if I go out to lunch or dinner, I must carry them with me.  I don't alway remember to do that.  In general, you will do your digestion a favor if you normally take them right after a meal.

the only reason I know of for taking it alone is for protection from the flu, however most pills are questioned as far as how well they dissolve in our bodies. teh best tried and true method of getting the proper minbreals and vitamens is to eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables every day.

Multivitamins should only be taken if you are not getting the nutrition from meals. They are not a proven replacement because doctors aren't sure that you get the most from a vitamin like you do when you eat. Your body gets more of a benifit when it actually comes from the meal, not in a bottle. Get yourself tested and find out if you have enough nutrion in your meals if you do then don't bother with the multi vitamin.

Well, you probably should go with medicine if your doctor prescribed it.  However, there are a couple of things they told people to do before they had medicines:\n\n1.  Don't overeat.  In fact, you should eat less than you think you want, then let that settle before you eat any more.\n2.  Try to not eat within 3 (or so) hours before going to bed.  \n3.  Sleep with your head elevated. \n\nCalcium may also help by reducing stomach acidity.  (Tums is just calcium carbonate.)

It is best to hold off on that alcoholic drink for four hours after taking your vitamins.  Alcohol interferes with the metabolism of most vitamins, and reduces the absorption of amino acids, glucose, zinc and vitamins in the small intestine.

Vitamins generally give the person who take's them more energy.  It is best to take vitamins in the morning when you wake up because if you take them at night you may have trouble sleeping depending on the vitamins you take.\n\nHope this helps

I just started taking phen..You can eat anything you want as long as its in moderation..I say don't eat unless you are starving..the pill really tricks you into not thinking about the food or wanting it at all..eat a balanced salad for lunch..come chicken for protein..veggies..cheese for dairy..an apple for fiber..you need all of these things to be healthy and not get sick..when you miss something take a multivitamin to replace it..i recommend fiber pills also..theyre really good and they clean out your system, fill you up
