“Very important if we want to withdraw the maximum of benefits,” insists the cardiologist.
Vitamin D plays an essential role in the health of bones, muscles, brain and the proper functioning of the immune system. It is mainly absorbed thanks to sun exposure, but also by consuming foods that are well provided like fatty fish, eggs or offs. In case of deficiencies, your health professional may prescribe a vitamin D supplementation. Note that the dosage and the form to be favored (capsule, bulb …) may vary depending on the age, the state of health or the specific needs of each person. But what is the best time of the day to take its vitamin D and assimilate it?
Many people find it easier to take their complement in the morning, before the day really starts, while others prefer to take it in the evening. For Dr. David Davidson, cardiologist, the main thing is to choose a moment that suits you and stick to it: “Finally, the time of taking vitamin D is of little importance. In other words, it will also be effective if you take it in the morning or in the evening “he explains.
“”On the other hand, what is very important is to take it with food – so at meals – to have maximum absorption and remove the maximum of benefits. As vitamin D is a liposoluble vitamin (dissolves in fats, editor’s note)food, and more particularly good fats, promote its absorption in the body“, He continues in the Eating Well media. He therefore advises to take his vitamin D for example, at breakfast with toast of almond or peanut butter, at lunch with a portion of cheese or fatty fish or at dinner with a composed salad garnished with a good handful of nuts and watered with a tablespoon of olive oil.
No matter the moment of the day when you take your vitamin D, the main thing is to do it with a meal containing a minimum of good fats to optimize the absorption. If in doubt or difficulty taking it daily, do not hesitate to talk about it with a health professional, who will be able to advise you a solution adapted to your lifestyle.
