when they say to take a supplement on empty stomach
they mean how many hours after eating..
for example i eat around 10 at night i sleep around one.
you think 3 hours is enough to say its empty stomach.
thanks

What type of supp's are you taking about? A protein shake? I would make sre you drink one before going to bed.

If you are taking glutamine, aminos, vit c, etc. three hours is plenty. Especially if you are eating every 2-3 hours. If you take a shake, allow time for your supps to be absorbed before you have the it. So maybe 2 hours after the meal, have the supps, then follow up with the shake an hour after that. Don't forget to chase the supps with some water too, i mean a good 8 ounces or so.

1-2 hours should be enough.
