RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

How are your energy levels morning to night? If low, do you take a multi-vitamin daily? If not, you should be. With all the processing food goes through before the store, and then when we cook it, it gives up all it's vitamins and minerals. So to get the amount of v & m we need that's where a multi-vitamin is essential.

Recommendations on a multi-vitamin:

1) If possible, have it be a soft gel pill, because those digest & absorb better.

2) Regardless of soft or hard, ALWAYS take pills AFTER you eat, not on a empty stomach.

3) Best time to take a multi-vitamin is after breakfast, because we just went 5-8hrs during sleep with no nutrients, so to get jump start take after breakfast.
