Empty stomach officially

[bearking]

For the purposes of taking supplements on an empty stomach, what is actually considered and empty stomach? And is there any health concern if supplements are taken with food?

Thanks

An empty stomach means you haven't eaten in a few hours. Whether it matters or not and what the effects will be depends entirely on what supplement

 

[Mobster]

As above. Two to three hours.

 

[stevesmi]

[cbbram]

Empty stomach means no food has been eaten in a couple of hours.

It depends on the supplement. Some things ate recommended with food while some doesnt matter

Waking up from sleep would be considered an empty stomach for sure.

Depends on supplement.some advise to take with food to avoid intestinal issues, and some work better on an empty stomach.empty stomach commonly refers to a couple hours after last ingestion where your almost fully digested and leftover food.

I don't think taking supplements on empty stomach is a good idea. I drink shakes after 2 hours of my meal and 2 hours before training. I hit the gym really energized.

I have never taken supps on empty stomach. Would you get some cramps or whatever?

Taking supplements on empty stomach is just going to kill your body, don't do it!

if you mean you have emtpy stomach, you have not to eat for 4 hours in order to be completely empty. so its not a smart choice to take protein shakes on empty stomach, kills the liver
