Can I take my supplements with food? I feel nauseated after taking all the supplements on an empty stomach, can I take any of the supplements with food?

Herbal supplements work most effectively on an empty stomach but if you must take any supplements with food make sure that the food does not contain protein. An item I frequently recommend, especially for parents with little ones that need supplementation, is taking the supplement with unsweetened applesauce.
