Optimal Timing for Everyday Supplements, According to Dr. Amir Khan

Dr. Amir Khan outlines a practical timetable to maximize supplement absorption: take iron first thing in the morning on an empty stomach with a splash of vitamin C (avoid taking it with tea, coffee, or magnesium); after breakfast, take fat‑soluble nutrients like vitamin D and omega‑3 with a meal; magnesium is best in the evening; creatine can be taken at any time; if you’re taking omega‑3 or a multivitamin, take them with food, and consult a doctor with any questions about your regimen.

Sunrise advantage: morning immunotherapy linked to longer survival in lung cancer

A randomized study in 210 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer found that receiving the first immunotherapy dose before 3 p.m. significantly improved outcomes compared with later dosing: about 11.3 months progression-free survival versus 5.7 months and roughly 45% alive versus 15% at follow-up, with morning treatment also showing more cancer-killing T cells. Experts caution that replication is needed, though a confirmatory trial is underway; the work was published in Nature Medicine.

Optical Combs Tie Radio Telescopes Together With Higher Timing Precision

Scientists demonstrated using optical frequency combs to transmit timing signals for very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI), boosting synchronization among dispersed radio telescopes (e.g., Korea’s VLB Yonsei) beyond hydrogen-maser clocks. The proof-of-concept achieved up to 50 GHz with commercial photodiodes, and the fiber-based approach can carry multiple wavelengths to better correct atmospheric fluctuations, enabling more precise coordinated observations.

Rethink Your Morning Vitamins: Iron, Magnesium, and Fat-Soluble Essentials

Dietitians say timing matters for vitamins. Iron is best absorbed on an empty stomach but can cause nausea, so take it with a snack away from coffee/tea and calcium-rich foods, ideally with fruit or orange juice to boost absorption. Magnesium can promote sleep, so evening or before-bed dosing is often best. Fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K require dietary fat for optimal absorption and are typically better taken with a main meal (Lunch or Dinner). In short, pair each vitamin with the right timing and meal to maximize absorption and minimize side effects.

Experts Urge Early Flu Vaccination Ahead of Severe Season

Doctors recommend waiting until October to get the flu shot to ensure optimal protection throughout the flu season, which peaks in December and February. Getting vaccinated too early may reduce the vaccine's effectiveness later in the season, although it is still better than not vaccinating at all. The vaccine typically provides protection for about six to eight months, and the best time to get vaccinated is before the flu activity increases.
