A couple of years ago I was having some minor health issues and after visiting the doctor, found out I was vitamin deficient in magnesium and vitamin D. So I did my research on brands, loaded up on the vitamins, and took them…for awhile. Then I felt better and stopped taking them. I’m sure I’m not the only one who does that! Anyway, I’ve been feeling run down again and know that I haven’t been eating as healthy as I should and getting the rest my body needs so I decided to pull my vitamins out from under the cabinet, load them into my a.m./p.m. box and start taking them again, on a regular basis.

As I was loading by pill-box though, I wondered if it really mattered when I took the vitamins during the day. Some of the directions were specific as to taking one in the morning or night but most just said take once or twice a day. And some vitamins are fat-soluble while others are water-soluble, which makes a difference in how they are stored in your body, with fat-soluble vitamins needing to be taken with some sort of dietary fat, like nuts.
