it is best to take a vitamin after a meal. Specifically, if you are taking a multi-vitamin, it should always be taken on a full stomach. Vitamins that are taken without food in the stomach generally produce feelings of severe nausea, pain, and in some cases vomiting. This is because the vitamins themselves are pure...unlike the vitamins and nutrients you get from eating food, the supplements you take are raw and unprocessed, save for the fact that they have been mixed and combined into a pill with maybe some preservatives. Raw vitamins will never sit well in an empty stomach.
On the contrary, chewable vitamins, such as the types designed for children, usually do not require a full stomach because they have been mixed with flavors and artificial preservatives that digest well enough in the stomach to not cause any kind of discomfort.

No specific time is the best but they should be taken with food. Vitamin C is best taken with iron supplements to enhance iron absorption. I take my MVI at night.
