Nutrient uptake

[muscle99]

I have heard that the human body absorbs nutrients best first thing in the morning and post workout? Is there truth to this? Is this the best time to take all ya supplements?

what supplements?

Short answer... No.

Longer answer... It depends on the supplement. Generally what you eat them with has more of a bearing on absorption than when you eat them. Some like to be eaten with fats or carbs. Some don't like to be eaten with dairy. But generally I think the timing will have relatively little impact.
