*Gasp!😱😱 They say it's a supplement that actually ruins your health if you take it "after dinner"!!

It is said that the rate of nutritional supplement consumption among Koreans has recently exceeded 70%. However, it is also said that the timing of consumption is important.

 

It is said that caution is needed, especially since there are supplements that lose their effectiveness or even have adverse effects if taken after dinner. It would be a good idea to take a closer look at the supplements to avoid in the evening.

💊 Vitamin B complex

B vitamins are important nutrients involved in our body's energy metabolism.

💥 Taking it in the evening disrupts your circadian rhythm

43% of those who take B vitamins in the evening experience a decline in sleep quality. B vitamins are most effective when taken immediately after breakfast, and for those over 40, taking them in the morning can boost daily vitality.

 

💊 Iron supplements

Taking iron supplements in the evening can cause indigestion and drowsiness. Taking iron on an empty stomach or with breakfast can increase absorption by more than 30%. Caution is required, as absorption rates can drop significantly when taking iron supplements in the evening when gastric acid secretion decreases.

💊Magnesium

Taking magnesium at night is good for sleep, but you should avoid taking it immediately after dinner.

Nutrients consumed during meals and magnesium can interfere with each other's absorption.

💥 If you need magnesium supplementation, it is best to take it on an empty stomach 1-2 hours before bedtime.

The optimal time to increase absorption and improve sleep quality.

💊Calcium supplement

Calcium absorption is hindered when it comes into contact with oxalic acid, phytic acid, etc., included in dinner.

If calcium supplements are taken with a meal, the absorption rate may decrease by up to 60%.

It is recommended to take calcium supplements on an empty stomach in the morning or two hours after lunch. Extra caution is needed for those over 40 who are concerned about bone health.

 

💊 Probiotics

Probiotics, commonly referred to as 'lactic acid bacteria,' can be mostly destroyed by stomach acid if consumed immediately after dinner. It is said that taking them on an empty stomach can increase the colonization rate in the intestines by more than double. 💥 The ideal time to take them is 30 minutes before breakfast, and if you must take them in the evening, it is best to wait 2-3 hours after the meal.
