Basically, " empty stomach " means no food for 2 hours before you take the

pill, and 1 hour after.

In addition, there are certain nutrients that should not be consumed for 4-5

hours before or after - most notably iron, soy and calcium. I find it

much easier to take mine at bedtime, and then I don't

have to think about it all day, or miss my oj in the morning ;-)
