Taking several supplements? Timing makes a routine easier to stick with. Here’s a simple morning-to-night schedule for every Healthy Herbs supplement, with links to a detailed guide for each.
Your Daily Schedule at a Glance
| Time | Supplement | How | Full guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wake up | NMN 500mg | 2 capsules with a full glass of water | NMN timing |
| Breakfast | Sea moss gel or sea moss capsules | 1–2 tbsp of gel in a smoothie, or capsules with food | Gel · Capsules |

Morning: Energy and Daily Foundations
Mornings are best for supplements that support your day. NMN supports NAD+ and cellular energy, so most people take it first thing.* Sea moss adds whole-food trace minerals and fits easily into breakfast, blended into a smoothie or as capsules.* Browse our sea moss smoothie recipes for ideas.
Midday: With Your Meals
DIM and Vitex are best with food. Pair them with the meal you eat most consistently. Note that our Vitex Complex already contains 200mg of DIM, so ask your provider before taking both.
Evening: Relax and Recover
Magnesium Glycinate supports relaxation and muscle recovery, which is why most people take it with dinner.* If you use melatonin, take it 30–60 minutes before bed to support your natural sleep cycle.*
Tips to Make It Stick
- Use a weekly AM/PM pill organizer.
- Keep morning supplements next to the coffee maker and evening ones next to your toothbrush.
- Start one new supplement at a time so you know what works for you.
- Subscribe and save so you never run out.
FAQ
Can I take all my supplements at once?
Some can be taken together, but spreading them out (energy in the morning, relaxation in the evening) usually makes more sense. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you take prescription medication.
Is it better to take supplements with food?
Many supplements, including DIM, Vitex and magnesium glycinate, are best with food. NMN and melatonin are usually taken with water.
Who should talk to a doctor first?
If you are pregnant or nursing, under 18, have a medical condition or take prescription medication, talk with your healthcare provider before starting any supplement.
