In this concise monologue, Eric Roberts outlines the best times to take several popular supplements. He advises taking creatine either pre‑ or post‑workout with carbohydrates, or on rest days with carbs, emphasizing daily consistency. Magnesium should be taken 30–60 minutes before bedtime. Vitamin D3 combined with K2 is best in the morning with dietary fat. Fish oil or omega‑3s can be taken at any time, provided they are consumed with fat. Whey protein is optimal before or after workouts but is also fine any time for extra protein. A multivitamin should be taken in the morning with food. He invites viewers to ask about other supplements in the comments and promotes a third‑party tested clean supplement brand via a link in his bio.
