...with orals does it matter if you take them before or after a meal...is there a "better" time to eat the pills or is there no difference...

Any oral drug, except a few (and they are not AAS) are absorbed better if taken with food. I don't know the exact reason for this, but I know it is true. Later

Take them with food bro because your stomach might not react in a possitive way to them running on E. I always chew them too, well the hard ones like winny anyways because I saw that might stomach acid couldint break down those suckers completely.

I would think that you would get better absorption with food. But at the same time..your stomach has strong enough acids in it to eat through itself. I don't believe that chewing is neccesary with any tabs.The only possible reasoning behind chewing is to start the absorption through the mouth and begin breaking the substance down with saliva. We only chew to fit things down our throat...and it is also the very beginning of digestion.
I have Chrohns Disease and I know what the stomach is capable of. You can pretty much eat anything and it will get broke down....on the other hand orals on an empty stomach are going to be very hard on your system....ECA's on empty stomach are also very hard on your system.
  Just a small sidenote also..if you drink while taking orals you are increasing your risk of ulcers or gastrointestinal diseases by quite a bit....also smoking is the best way to get ulcers...the smoke upon entering the stomach begins to turn the stomach more acidic than it would normally be..wearing away at the lining...it might sound like BS but I assure its not.I quit smoking because of this.

This is very true. &nbsp;If you take tums or something like that before had it will help absorb the contents. &nbsp;From the old days when I partied too much and the best way to take a tab is by first taking tums or rolaids to get rid of stomach acid. &nbsp;That way it saves more of the pill.
