    • ]]>     On the Natural News website, Melanie Grimes wrote a great article on the best time of day to take different kinds of vitamins. Because our bodies perform different functions at different times of the day, the time you take your supplements really matters. For example, vitamin C is known to be a stimulant, so it shouldn’t be taken before bedtime.

    Here’s what they had to say about calcium-magnesium supplements:

    “At night, many suggest taking calcium. This is because calcium is utilized at night, and also because calcium can help you get to sleep when taken at bed time. Remember the adage of a glass of milk before bed? Calcium absorption is the reason this makes sense. Magnesium is needed to work hand-in-hand with calcium. Many people take magnesium along with calcium, in the same supplements, at bedtime, although some suggest that magnesium is best absorbed in the day time. If the calcium supplement contains magnesium, taking both at the same time is appropriate.”
