Hey everyone, I've been giving my kids these omega-3 gummies for a few months now, but my husband just started adding a collagen supplement to his coffee every morning. I'm worried about mixing them—has anyone tried combining omega-3 gummies with other supplements like collagen or even just with coffee? Are there any risks or should I keep them separate? I don't want to mess with their health!

Oh, I mix my omega-3 gummies with all sorts of stuff! I take mine with a turmeric shot I make at home—just blend fresh turmeric, ginger, and a dash of black pepper. No issues here, and I feel like it boosts absorption. But I'm not a doc, so maybe check if collagen has any weird interactions? I'd say as long as you're not overdoing the doses, it's probably fine. Always start slow though!

As a med student, I'd caution against mixing supplements without proper research. Omega-3s (like EPA/DHA) are generally safe, but combining them with other supplements like collagen could affect absorption or cause gastrointestinal issues if taken in high doses. Coffee might reduce omega-3 absorption due to caffeine's diuretic effect. Best to space them out by 2-3 hours or consult a pediatrician for your kids. Safety first!

Biohacker here—I stack my omega-3 gummies with lion's mane mushroom extract and a nootropic blend in my morning routine. Synergy is key! For your case, collagen and omega-3s might complement each other for joint health, but watch for heavy metals in fish-based gummies. I'd recommend a quality brand and maybe cycle them. Coffee's fine if it's not loaded with sugar. Track your kids' responses and adjust.
