Don't take all your vitamins at once; spread them out throughout the day.

If you take your vitamins every day, then you have every right to feel proud of yourself. You're in the same category as people who hand wash their bras, floss twice a day, and go to 6am exercise classes. But if you're going through the trouble of taking health-boosting pills daily, then you want to make sure that you're getting the most out of them. This means taking your vitamins at different times, rather than all at once in the morning.

Kate Booker, nutritionist at Nutrition Geeks, explains: "A lot of people pop all their supplements in the morning all in one go, but there's a few that you could benefit from taking at optimal times throughout the day." So, which vitamins should be taken at what times?

Vitamin B is best taken in the morning. According to Kate, this is because B vitamins help to release energy from food, while keeping your blood, skin and nervous system healthy. She also says that B vitamins can be stimulating and help to increase energy to kickstart the day.

Vitamin C is best taken throughout the day. As a water-soluble nutrient, any excess will be passed out through your urine, so it's better to break up your dose and take it at intervals. Vitamin C helps to protect cells, aids in wound healing and maintains healthy skin, blood vessels, bones and cartilage.

Vitamin D is a good supplement to take, especially during the autumn and winter when we get less of it from the sun. Vitamin D helps to keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy and is best taken in the middle of the day, when the sun is at its strongest.

Magnesium is best taken in the evening, as some studies have shown that it can help you relax. However, if you've been out in the sun, it could be beneficial to take it then, too, as magnesium is required to make Vitamin D.

Finally, Kate recommends taking ashwagandha at the end of the day. This adaptogen can help reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol, and can help your body respond better to stress and reduce anxiety.

So, if you take your vitamins every day, you can be sure that you're getting the most out of them by taking them at the optimal times throughout the day.
