Best Time to Take Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, and Vitamin D3 Together
Taking calcium, magnesium, zinc and vitamin D3 does not need to be complicated. With Nutrovell Calcium with Vitamin D3, all four work together in one softgel, so the best time is simply the moment you will remember it consistently.
One softgel, with a meal
Take your daily softgel with a meal, ideally one with a little fat, since vitamin D3 is fat-soluble and absorbs best that way. Taking minerals with food also keeps them easy on the stomach.
The minerals work together, not against each other
You may have heard that calcium, magnesium and zinc cancel each other out. At the sensible nutritional amounts in a combination formula like Nutrovell's, they are designed to be taken together, which is exactly why they share one convenient softgel.
Morning or evening?
Either works, so pick the meal you are most likely to keep up. Some people find minerals with dinner pleasant and easy to remember; others prefer breakfast. Consistency is what delivers results.
Space it from certain medicines
Calcium and magnesium can bind some medicines in the gut, including levothyroxine, certain antibiotics and bone medications. If you take these, simply leave a few hours between them and your supplement, and ask your pharmacist for exact timing.
Build it into a habit
Attach your softgel to something you already do, like a specific meal, so it becomes automatic. If you miss a day, just carry on as normal, no need to double up.
The bottom line
The best time to take calcium, magnesium, zinc and vitamin D3 is with a meal, at whatever time you will do it reliably. Nutrovell Calcium with Vitamin D3 makes it effortless by combining all four in one daily softgel.
