Vitamin and supplement reminder on WhatsApp
Updated .
A vitamin reminder on WhatsApp is a message timed with a meal that prompts you to take your supplements. Set it once with Mindie, for example "every day at 8:30am remind me to take my multivitamin with breakfast", and it arrives every day.
Supplements are the easiest thing in the kitchen to forget. There's no symptom when you skip a day, so the bottle sits untouched until it expires.

With breakfast
A weekly dose
Reorder before you run out
When to set it
- With the meal you never skip. For most people that's breakfast or dinner.
- Weekly for weekly doses. Some vitamin D doses are taken once a week; a Sunday reminder fits.
- Before you run out. A one-off reminder a week before the pack ends, to reorder in time.
Why supplements get skipped
- No consequence today. Missing a day doesn't feel like anything, so the habit fades.
- Out of sight. The bottle lives in a cupboard you don't open at breakfast.
- Several at different times. Iron in the morning, magnesium at night: the schedule gets muddled.
Habits that help
- Keep the bottle next to the plates. The reminder works when the supplement is in reach.
- Keep a list of what you take. Ask Mindie to keep a list called supplements, with doses, to show your doctor.
- Add reorders to your shopping list. Mindie keeps the list; ask for it when you order.
How Mindie handles it
Send each reminder in plain words or as a voice note. Mindie confirms the pattern and time, then messages you daily or weekly, in your own timezone. Reply to move a reminder when your routine changes.
What Mindie doesn't do
- It isn't medical or nutrition advice. Ask a doctor or pharmacist what to take.
- It doesn't order anything for you.
- It isn't an alarm. A Mindie reminder is a WhatsApp message, not an alarm. It follows your notification settings, so keep the Mindie chat unmuted.
Questions
What time should I take vitamins?
Many are best taken with a meal, but it depends on the supplement. Check the label or ask a pharmacist, then set the reminder for that meal.
Can I add supplements to my shopping list?
Yes. Ask Mindie to add them to your shopping list, and ask for the list when you're at the pharmacy or ordering online.
Can I set a weekly vitamin reminder?
Yes. "Every Sunday at 9am remind me to take vitamin D" repeats every week.
Can I tie it to a meal?
Yes. Set the reminder for your usual breakfast time, so it fits a routine you already have.
Can this be a habit with a streak?
Yes. Text "take my vitamins every day at 8am" as a habit. Ask a doctor or pharmacist about what to take.
This page explains how to set the reminder with Mindie. It isn't financial, legal or medical advice; check dates and doses with the people who set them. Checked on 31 October 2026.
