I always take mine first thing in the morning when I get up..they work all day that way and I don't deplete myself of the vitamins i need for stress, potassium, etc. Always with food..so they stay in your system. Good luck

as far as a multi vitamin goes, always get one without iron. Iron competes with other minerals for absorption. Take extra iron only if you need to, away from other vitamins or minerals.
Take any multi vitamin with food. Always. Some vitamins are fat soluable, this means they need fat in the diet to absorb. Some vitamins are water soluable. They need water of some sort to absorb. The best way to ensure this all happens properly is to take your multi with a decent meal.
The other thing to consider is what type of multi you have. Regular store bought vitamins/minerals are usually cheaply made. Dont buy health supplements in the same place you can buy your motor oil, good rule of thumb.
Get a multi that says the minerals are chelated. This means they are made with better quality and the chelation of the minerals will help to absorb them.

After a healthy breakfast. Some vitamins do not agree with the body well without food (can make you feel nauseated and sick). Also if you are taking individually (the pills), its best to take all the non-oil ones and then the oil ones later (like A and E), because they can coat the other vitamins and make them not so effective.

In the morning after breakfast because after you have breakfast in the morning your metabolism starts working and when you take your vitamins or supplements after breakfast they are effective throughout the day.

Take them early in the day after either breakfast or lunch.
