Answers:

It should be okay to take your vitamin with a shake or OJ, as long as you're sufficiently hydrating during the day with water. It's best to take vitamins with a meal though, because otherwise it can be passed through your body too quickly to be efficient or cause stomach upset.

However, some medications recommend taking it only with water, and to avoid taking it with some juices due to the effect it could have on absorption. So I would check the info on your meds to see what it says regarding how to take it.



Nope any Liquid is fine :) Some meds are suggested to not take with grapefruit juice bc it can affect the medication, but that is mostly with blood thinners in older adults but there are some exceptions. But vitamins are perfectly fine to take with any Liquid, (not alcohol, duh). Its usually better to take vitamins with some food or milk in your stomach bc it can upset your tummy.

Some meds should be taken with lots of water, read the instructions that can with the medication. Otherwise you dont need to drink water, any liquid works fine, or none at all if you can swallow it.



lol no you just need anything to help you swallow the pills
