What should FARMGRUPP AE vitamiinid forte capsules be taken with so that they are absorbed? — AE vitamin № 20 (Farmgrupp)

Vitamins A and E are fat-soluble: dietary fat needs to be present for them to be absorbed in the intestine. If you take a capsule on an empty stomach or with fat-free food, a significant proportion of the active substances may simply pass through without being absorbed.

The manufacturer uses an oil base in the capsule, which already helps, but it does not replace the fat from the meal itself. Ideally, take the capsule with one of your main meals in which fat is naturally present:

• breakfast with eggs or cheese;
• lunch with fish or meat;
• a salad dressed with vegetable oil;
• any dish cooked with oil or containing nuts or avocado.

A small amount of fat is enough; there is no need to eat something fatty specially for the sake of one capsule. The main thing is not to take the supplement separately from food, especially if your diet that day is low in fat.

The time of day does not really matter: morning, lunchtime or evening, choose the meal that is the most regular in your schedule so that you do not miss a dose.
