Get more from your vitamins/supplements using the Organ Clock


According to Chinese medicine theory, the organs of the body have a natural flow of energy that is continuous around the clock. When taking supplements to benefit a particular organ, you can use the following list to determine what time of day that organ is most receptive to nourishment:

Organ: Time
Stomach: 7-9 a.m.
Spleen/Pancreas: 9-11 a.m.
Heart: 11 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Small Intestine: 1-3 p.m.
Bladder: 3-5 p.m.
Kidney: 5-7 p.m.
Circulation/Reproductive Organs: 7-9 p.m.
Digestive System: 9-11 p.m.
Gall Bladder: 11 p.m. - 1 a.m.
Liver: 1-3 a.m.
Lung: 3-5 a.m.
Colon: 5-7 a.m.

*Supplements that target the liver/gallbladder are best taken them before bed, so that they work overnight, rather than taken during their exact time of highest activity.

  1. If you buy Annie's Homegrown or Amy's Kitchen Natural and Organic Foods, buy it here because you won't find it cheaper anywhere else. Other larger brand supermarkets that sell these charge you much more. Regina
