The breadth of available dietary supplements lining store shelves can overwhelm even the most enthusiastic of fitness folks with (often hyped-up) health claims. Important questions–such as those having to do with how or when to take your supplements to maximize nutritional benefit–are often neglected for the “if I take it, it’s good for me” mentality. Timing your supplements appropriately and being aware of possible interactions (with medications or other supplements) can not only help you optimize your supplement’s benefit but also avoid side effects.
In this article, we review the available evidence on how to time your supplemental intake for maximal efficacy, with special focus on multivitamins, minerals, fish oil, and probiotics. The image below summarizes our findings.

I take most of my supplement with a fatty meal, but I do take my thyroid Armour on a empty stomach and I won't eat anything for at least 45 minutes. I also take my probiotics on an empty stomach. But I do get all my levels checked.
 
Most, if not all, amino acids should be taken on an empty stomach as well but can lead to gastrointestinal distress...in other words, diarrhea.
