Answer
I would seriously doubt that it matters what time of day. I do know that in order to absorb as much of the nutrients as possible, you need to consume the vitamins/supplements with at least a small amount of food and follow by frink 8-16 oz of water.
Answer
I'd guess sometime in the morning.
***General rule of thumb is to take supplements with food in your stomach, avoid taking them on an empty stomach, unless dircted otherwise.
Answer
I just wanted to add that it depends what nutrient you are taking. Iron, for example, is not absorbed as well with high fiber food, coffe or tea. These foods can reduce the absorption of iron and iron is a poorly absorbed nutrient. However, if iron is taken with vitamin C or orange juice, the absorption increases. So if you're taking iron, take it in the morning with orange juice and wait to drink your coffee or tea.
