It's according to what it is. B-complex I take with food, otherwise it makes me nauseous.  :(
Most everything else though, I take with juice.

I only really take a multivitamin which I consume right before or after I eat. I usually wash it down with water or whatever I'm drinking at the time

Some vitamins should not be taken with citrus juice--sorry, I don't remember which ones.  I think the citrus negates the specific vitamin.

The only medication I take is a full aspirin each morning.  I take it with whatever I am drinking at that time ~ juice, water, vanilla coke, ....
Have a wonderful day!

Usually water.  Some meds will give me heart burn though and I try to eat a little something with those.

Ihave to take a vitamin a day and vitamin d3 4000 units and B-complex but the last time I picked up b-12 by accident but it is usually taken with water and I heard for pain medication you can take it with coffee and it makes the pain med. kick in quicker and it does.  :thumbsup:
