Vitamin question?

I just bought several different vitamins:

-Vitamin C

-Vitamin D 3

-A multi-vitamin

-Fish oil gels capsuls

My question is: Can I take all of them at once? (Ie., after dinner), or is it better to take some in the morning, and others in the evening?

(And, if so, which ones?)

Also, I'm taking these fish oil capsuls for the first time: do they make your mouth smell like fish? Hmm ....

Thanks!!

    Most vitamins best after some food. And no the fish oil capsules shouldn't give you bad breath. Might burp up a fishy taste though. Many come with lemon flavor added for that reason. Whatever you do don't take the multi-vitamin on empty stomach. You will end up possibly puking it up........very rough on the stomach without food.

    Yes, you can take them all at one time. I would limit the dose to 2 of each per day though, unless you're exercising heavily.

    One of the easiest ways to take vitamins is to crush them up and mix them in a blender with your favorite fruit smoothie that you like to make. That's what I do, and I hardly taste the vitamins if at all.

    Also taking vitamins this way is better( unless they are the gel type) because sometimes those hardended powder vitamins don't dissolve completely in your system

    With only a few exceptions, vitamins should be taken twice daily, because of the limited time they remain in the system, and even more preferably taken with food for easier asimulation. there are no special problems with fish oil.take care not to exceed recommended dosage, there would be no point in losing the extra in the bathroom..with the exception of say Q10 ,all of the items purchased should be taken together.

    sweety, a multivitamin contains all of the essential vitamins you mentioned. so GET RID of the other ones. take it with meals in the morning.

    and about the fish oil capsules: it does not make your mouth stink like a fish. check also if your multivitamin has omega-3 or none. if none, you can take the fish oil too.
