@matthewnoconnor: How we take our supplements has a big impact on the benefits we experience Because there are many supplements like calcium and magnesium and zinc that can compete for absorption, reducing their overall benefit. How I structure my supplement protocol is: - Zinc mid-morning on an empty stomach - Calcium at lunch. My calcium is paired with K2, and as K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin, it needs fats from food for proper absorption - Magnesium glycinate late in the afternoon or at dinner and then again just before bed Always working on a split-dose strategy for optimal absorption
