What is the best time to take Vitamin D? Here’s your ultimate guide to supplement consumption certified by health experts

 

An essential winter routine is soaking up sunlight to get vitamin D, which plays a pivotal role in maintaining optimal health and well-being. Deficiency of Vitamin D is quite common resulting in weak bone health. People often consume supplements to meet the requirements of the vitamins in the body. 

While it is important to soak up the vitamin, it is also important to understand when to consume it. Dr Debashish Chanda, Lead Consultant, Department of Orthopedics, CK Birla Hospital, Gurugram, says, “It is absolutely important to understand when you should consume Vitamin D. Vitamin D, being a fat-soluble vitamin, does not get absorbed by the body effectively if it is consumed with heavy meals. We typically recommend consuming it on an empty stomach with a meal containing a good amount of healthy fats for maximum absorption.”
