Whether or not to take a supplement with food all depends on the supplement because some are best with and some are best without. For example, Toronto-based naturopathic doctor Rachel Corradetti, ND, points out that dairy products and iron don’t go well together, whereas oranges and iron are great. Probiotics are often better with food, too. “Take a look at the supplements you are using to determine which are best with and without food so that you are getting the most out of your products,” she adds.
