Supplements: With Meal or Without ?

[Milkywhy]

I take a bunch of expensive supplements each day. Many are
amino acid or complex molecule based stuff. My question is:
should I take these supplements on an empty stomach (so that
they don't mix internally in me with other food products or
other supplements)? Does eating a meal while ingesting these
supplements --such as proline or argenine or lysine or alpha
lipoic acid-- do these become denatured and of no therapeutic
value if taken near a meal?

Thanks.

With meal, and with digestive enzymes if you are over 45
or so. over 65 ones own enzyme production is off 80% from
peak levels.

The half-life of alpha lipoic acid is 20 minutes.

You have my condolences. :(
