Mixing Vitamin C Gummies with My Morning Brew?
Hey everyone! I just started taking these Vitamin C gummies (the ones with zinc and elderberry, yum!). I also love my coffee in the morning. I was wondering, is it safe to take them together? Like, does the coffee mess with absorption or anything? I've heard some supplements don't mix well with caffeine. Any thoughts?
Hey! I've been taking Vitamin C gummies for a while and I'm a big coffee drinker too. I usually take my gummies with breakfast, which includes coffee, and I've never had any issues. From what I've read, Vitamin C is water-soluble and not affected much by caffeine. So you're probably fine. But maybe space them out by 30 mins if you're worried?
Wait, I'm a total caffeine addict (like 3 cups a day, lol). I take my Vitamin C gummies in the morning with my first cup. No problems here. But I've heard that taking supplements on an empty stomach can cause jitters if you're sensitive. Maybe check if your gummies have other stuff like B vitamins? That can sometimes make you feel weird with coffee.
Thanks for the replies! @JoyfulJack882 maybe I'll try spacing them out just to be safe. @QuartzQuinn532 I didn't even think about B vitamins - I'll check the label. Also, would it be okay to take them with orange juice? I know, vitamin C overload, but orange juice is my other morning staple 😅
Haha, yeah that's a lot of C - but definitely safe! Your body will just pee out the extra. Actually, I think the combo might even enhance absorption since the gummies already have some natural flavors. Just don't overdo it if you have a sensitive stomach. Enjoy your C cocktail! 😄
