Guest guest Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hello! Although I do my best to take my supplements with meals, I do occasionally forget. (This is all still a bit new to me.) However, I often realize my mistake shortly after the meal. How long after completing my meal can I take supplements for it to still be considered WITH the meal? One hour? A few hours? If I forget in the morning, is it OK for me to take morning supplements with lunch, then evening supplements with supper? Or would those two doses be too close together? Is " too close together " better than not taking them at all? I'm SO grateful for your passion to help us heal!!! Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is because a meal stays in the stomach for awhile. You can also take them with your next meal. No, 2 doses taken at lunch and supper are not too close together. Yes, too close together is better than not taking them at all. If you forget your supper dose, eat a poached egg and take them with it. But if that is too close to bedtime it may interfere with trying to get to sleep, not the egg, the supplements. Your body is able to sort out all of the nutrients you intake in one day so do not be overly concerned about which meal you have them with. If you happen to forget most supplements in one day, just take normal doses the next day. Your body will wait, if it really needs something in order to process nutrients one day, until it gets them the next day. Also, remember to not take any supplements for one day once a month so your body can adjust itself as it sees fit - that does not include coconut oil which is considered a whole food. But it does including cod liver oil. Do not take fats, oils, or oil soluble supplements like cod liver oil (omega 3, vitamins A & D) too close to bedtime since they provide so much energy they will keep you awake for awhile. 3 hours prior to bedtime is the rule for taking them. You are so welcome for my passion to help! It makes me very happy. All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
