You MUST take all vites, minerals & oils (fish, flax, cla, etc.) with food at ALL times! The minerals need to bind to amino acids to absorb at all, so without food is pointless.
If you are having stomach issues then make sure you take them during the meal, not at all beforehand and not more than 10 min after you finish. And a full meal. not a little apple or something.
Also, try a reputable brand. seriously brands like centrum are full of more binders/fillers/etc. than is nesessary and that can contribute to your stomach problems. They also often use synthetic vites versus naturla sourced. thirdly, bring in your current bottle to a supplement store that sells vites as well as sports stuff like GNC or something and just compare the potency on your current one with an actual sports-formulated brand. GNC has a great Men's Sport vitamin, but most major sports brands do also - ON, EAS, Biox, etc. The difference in potency with surprise you.
