Your Daily Vitamin Guide: What to Take in the AM & PM

Vitamins and minerals are vital for our overall health. 

 

Although needed in smaller amounts than macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins), these micronutrients play a crucial role in things like energy levels, digestion, immune support, and sleep.

 

But did you know timing matters? Some nutrients are best taken in the morning to help kickstart your day, while others work better at night to support relaxation and recovery. By taking supplements at the right time, you can optimize your daily routine for better results.

 

Looking for a simple way to structure your supplement intake? MaryRuth’s Morning Multivitamins and Nighttime Multiminerals are excellent options to anchor your AM and PM wellness habits. Let’s dive in!

B Vitamins for Energy Production

B-complex vitamins play a key role supporting healthy energy levels, supporting overall vitality. A great way to get a daily boost of these essential nutrients is with a quality multivitamin that contains a blend of B vitamins to help start your morning right.

 

Vitamin C for Immune & Antioxidant Support

Vitamin C is well known for its immune-supporting properties, but it also acts as an antioxidant, limiting the damage done by free radicals. Taking it in the morning ensures your body has the support it needs throughout the day.

 

Vitamin D for Mood & Bone Health

This essential vitamin plays an essential role in supporting bone health, immune function, and mood. Taking vitamin D in the morning on its own or through a multivitamin is a great way to ensure you’re supporting your body with it in the daytime — which you may also do when you get sunlight! 

 

Herbal Support (Optional Boost)

For extra support, consider adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha for healthy stress levels or nootropics like lion’s mane to help with focus and brain health. You may choose to take these in the morning, or wait until afternoon for an additional boost!

Morning or Night: Probiotics for Gut & Digestive Health

Probiotics support gut health, digestion, and immune function, but when you take them is a personal preference. 

 

Some people choose to take probiotics in the morning on an empty stomach, while others prefer to take them in the evening before bed. Either way, the key is consistency—choose a time that works best for you.

 

No matter your preference, MaryRuth’s probiotics come in liquid, gummy, capsule, or powder form to fit your routine.

Evening: Minerals & Supplements for Restful Sleep

At night, focus on nutrients that support relaxation, recovery, and overall restoration.

 

Magnesium for Relaxation

Magnesium is an essential mineral that helps with relaxation, muscle and nerve function, and sleep. It’s a key ingredient in MaryRuth’s Nighttime Multimineral, making it easy to wind down before bed. Plus, magnesium assists in calcium absorption.
 

Calcium for Bone & Nervous System Support

Since the body restores itself while you sleep, calcium is best taken at night. It’s often paired with magnesium for balanced absorption. And it’s also in our Liquid Nighttime Multimineral!
