Hi there Melinda, 

Taking verve in the morning speeds the intake of nutrients to the body, but can easily be taken at anytime of the day, and still provides all of your daily needs.

The amount of time it takes for absorption can vary from person to person and is influenced by individual hydration levels, but typically takes between 15 minutes and 2 hours.

Personally I take 1st thing in the morning, wait between 30 minutes to an hour, as this is my journey time to work. Drink Verve, drive to work, grab a coffee.  Kind Regards, Brad @Team Verve
