Vitamin Supplements (Before During or After Food?)

I take vitamin B Complex and vitamin D everyday. When is generally best to take these supplements? Before, during or after food?

Hello. I am not a medical doctor. So, I cannot say exactly from the medical point of view. But, I take vitamins after taking food. The reason for that is, if it is taken before food with an empty stomach, it could energize the body system too fast, like increasing the blood pressure fast. So, I feel it is better to have it with the food or after taking food. Mylotter doctors could advise better !

I take vitamin supplements too, after dinner. On some days, I have "Ensure" too, which is an excellent food supplement. Ensure comes in different blends, strawberry, chocolate, and others, too. Tastes very nice.
