Fiber encapsulates the supplements

This one does make a difference. Do what you can to move the fiber away from the supplements, at least by an hour or two. And if you're taking everything at the same time, it's possible you can move the fiber to the other end of the day, or to a different meal.
I don't know for sure that "encapsulates" is the right word, exactly. Don't care. But I have seen a difference when I took the fiber pills out of the handful of supplements I was taking. The fiber "swells" as it takes on water, and I suspect that if the vitamin pills are in that bolus, they might not get as much stomach acid attention as they will if they're in there with just food. Same goes for prescription meds, BTW.
