> Years back, my doctor said to take vitamins with either a light meal or with juice, because they were absorbed better when the stomach was working on digesting something. So, with either juice or water when you're taking them with food, or with juice (or a smoothie) if you're taking them alone.
If I was trying to maximize nutrient uptake from vitamin and mineral supps, I'd take them fifteen or twenty minutes before my biggest meal of the day, with an appetizer, i.e. something that stimulates the stomach, whether liquid or solid.
