Eli5: Why does taking Multivitamins on an empty stomach cause nausea?

125 views

I know that it’s recommended to take vitamins with food, but why does taking a vitamin first thing in the morning without food cause stomach cramps or nausea?

Remember that the actual “vitamin” content of mutivitamins is very small (milligrams per vitamin), and most of the “vitamin” is filler material, which is apparently non-digestable (no calories) and makes your pee darker.

In theory, someone could create a multi-vitamin that doesn’t cause discomfort, though it might end up having calories
