His other tips also help to make sure it actually helps your body and absorbs properly
TV's Doctor Amir Khan has revealed the best time to take your supplements and warned against taking one common type alongside tea or coffee. Known for his appearances on Lorraine, This Morning and Good Morning Britain, Dr Khan is also a GP.
Taking to Instagram and TikTok, the medic said: "When it comes to your supplements, timing is everything. It can make a massive difference to how well your body absorbs and responds to it.
"Starting with the early-morning routine, he explained that you should take your iron tablet as soon as you wake up. He added that it should be paired with a key item and stressed that it should never be taken with tea or coffee. The expert explained: "With iron, you want to take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and with vitamin C for better absorption.
"Don’t take that with tea or coffee or magnesium. That can reduce the absorption. Just a splash of water and some vitamin C - that’s how you take your iron.
"According to patient.info, OJ could be a great way to do this. It adds: "Taking iron with a glass of orange juice or foods high in Vitamin C actually helps your body absorb the iron more effectively.
" After taking iron, you can have breakfast. This is also the ideal time to take any fat-soluble supplements.
"These are supplements that are absorbing the fat that you eat, and they absorb better", he said. "Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, so you want to take it with food, such as breakfast or lunch. Omega-3 fatty acid that is also fat-soluble so you want that with food.
"If you are taking your multivitamin, perhaps you have a nutritional deficiency, then a lot of them are fat-soluble. Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat-soluble.
" Discussing supplements that can be taken at night - and may even support better sleep - the GP suggested that magnesium could be a good option.
