Quest Timed Release tablets are designed to release nutrients more slowly than standard release supplements. This maximizes the time available for the water-soluble nutrients to be absorbed. Timed release supplements should be taken with a main meal to help digest the tablet and aid the absorption of nutrients. This type of supplement is best taken by those with a healthy digestive system.

Timed release supplements are ideal for healthy people, or those a little under the weather, in order to maintain good health. Timed release may be taken by students, business people, athletes, people living stressful lifestyles and shift workers. Timed release supplements are ideal for long-term preventative use.

Standard release supplements are simple in structure and designed to break down in the stomach where the disintegrated particles are then taken into the small intestine where the nutrients are quickly absorbed. Standard release supplements should be taken with some food in order to help digest the tablet and maximize absorption of the nutrients. At least two slices of toast with a non-fizzy drink should be consumed (breakfast) before swallowing this type of supplement.

Quest Standard Release supplements are ideal for everyone, especially teenagers, the elderly, people who are ill, convalescing or those with impaired digestion.
