Whats the best way to make vitamins or pills absorb?

Question

should you cut them in half & take separately?

Answer 1

Try liquid vitamins... they work a lot better.  If you already have the pill ones, there really isn't any way to make them absorb better.  The body will take what it can, and pass the rest.

Answer 2

I heard somewhere that taking vitamins and minerals with Orange juice helps with absorption, but this could be an 'old wives tale'.

Answer 3

The human body will only process a certain amount of absorbed vitamins than excrete what is not used.   In terms of the absorption rate depends on you own metabolism and whether or not you have taken them prior to eating (empty stomach) or if consumed with meal.  Any med taken with food present in the stomach will take longer to process and slows down absorption due to the digestion of food contents in the stomach.  That's why some medications suggest eating with food so as not to irritate the stomach lining.
