> It depends more on the content of the meals themselves, rather than the dosing schedule. Uptake, and thus net bioavailability, is proportional to bile released from the gallbladder. Both fat and protein stimulate bile release, so unless your meals are all similar in protein and fat, target the meal with the highest proportion of those two gallbladder stimulants.
>Does that mean that taking H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors would reduce the absorption of omega-3s? I'm not sure whether they reduce bile production, or just acid production, or what...but I take protonix every day.
