When taking vitamins, I know you should take it with food, but what about water?

Question

If I take it with a lot of water will it just wash through my system and not absorb correctly.

Answer 1

It's the opposite, you need to take it with water. The B vitamins are water soluble. So if you dont drink water with it the vitamins won't get absorbed and it'll go right through you.

Answer 2

Taking vitamins on an empty stomach could have adverse reaction on your stomach because of the vitamins mineral concentration for example cramps, thats why you have to take it with food. Water only makes it easier to swallow the viramins. Water plays little role in dissolving the vitamin its the acid in your stomach that does everything.
