ACV gummies with my morning coffee?
Hey guys! I just started taking apple cider vinegar gummies (the Vitafusion ones) to help with digestion and maybe some weight management. But I'm a total coffee addict and I usually have a cup or two in the morning. Is it safe to take the gummies with coffee? Will it mess with the effectiveness? Also, I'm on a budget so if anyone knows cheap brands that are good, hit me up!
Flora, I'd say keep them apart by at least an hour. Coffee is acidic and ACV is also acidic, might upset your stomach. Plus, coffee can mess with absorption of some supplements. I take my ACV gummies after breakfast, then coffee later. As for cheap brands, I get the Nature's Truth ones from Amazon, they're decent and like $10 for a month supply.
I agree with LunarLily. I'm a marathon runner and I take ACV gummies for recovery. I always wait like 30-45 minutes after coffee. Also, if you're taking any meds for blood pressure or diabetes, check with your doc bc ACV can interact. But for most people it's fine just space it out.
I'm always skeptical about gimmicky supplements. ACV gummies have minimal actual vinegar in them, it's mostly sugar. I'd say save your money and just drink diluted ACV if you want the benefits. But if you're set on gummies, coffee shouldn't be an issue as long as your stomach handles it.
Thanks for the advice everyone! I'll try spacing them out. QuartzQuinn, I get your skepticism but I have a hard time with the taste of liquid ACV, so gummies are easier for me. Maybe I'll invest in a better brand eventually. Thanks again!
