2. Make a habit of it

Optimal use of supplements starts with being consistent. Offer your body optimal support daily and do not skip moments. Therefore, make a habit of the supplements. Take supplements at a fixed time so that it becomes part of your daily rhythm. If necessary, set an alarm clock to remind you.

3. Choose the right time

For almost all supplements it is important to take them during or after a meal. This way you make optimal use of the interplay between the supplements and the nutrients you take in. But there are always exceptions, so always read the label beforehand. It would be a shame if your supplement works less optimally because you take it at the wrong time!

4. Exception: empty stomach

As mentioned, most supplements are taken during or after meals. Exceptions to this rule include probiotics. With probiotics, most bacteria survive when they don’t have to stay in the acidic stomach environment for too long. Therefore, always take probiotics some time before eating.

7. Golden duo: vitamin C and bioflavonoids

When vitamins are found in fruits or vegetables, they are accompanied by numerous supporting substances. For example, fruit often contains cofactors that increase the absorption of the vitamins. In the case of vitamin C, for example, these are bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids and vitamin C often occur naturally together in food and support each other’s operation. Therefore, always choose supplements that also contain the cofactors. In the case of vitamin C that means with bioflavonoids!

8. Pay attention to medication

Medications can affect the absorption of food supplements in the body. Therefore, be well informed about the right supplements when you take medication. An example is antacids. The strong acid inhibition can have a negative effect on nutrient absorption. However, don’t go on a self-examination, but work with a health professional.

9. Order new supplements on time

Order new supplements in a timely manner when you are about to run out. This way, you will reduce the chances of forgetting the supplements.

10. Make it enjoyable to use
