Tip of the week – divide total daily doses throughout the day

For water-soluble nutrients especially, you may want to consider dividing your daily total dose of B complex and C vitamins, for example, over 2-3 doses rather than taking the dose all at once. The potential advantages include keeping up levels of these nutrients better throughout the day instead of washing the excess from a single large dose out and losing its benefits. Dividing doses may also make some of the uncomfortable side effects of vitamin supplements more bearable, such as the diarrhea from too much ascorbic acid form of vitamin C or the stomach queasiness many people experience from B complex vitamins on an empty stomach.

As always, check with your own doctor to decide what’s right for you.

To your health,
