Hey folks, been taking ACV gummies for a couple months now as part of my fasting routine. Was wondering if anyone has tried taking them with a strong cup of black coffee in the morning? Like, literally washing them down with it. Trying to streamline my pre-fast window but don't wanna mess up the absorption or something. Thanks!

PurePete864 - Interesting question! I don't have a scientific answer, but I take mine with my morning herbal tea (nettle & dandelion blend I forage myself). The acidity might be something to consider with coffee? I've noticed if I take them right before my sunrise photography hikes, I feel fine, but that's with water. Maybe space them out by 15-20 mins? Nature's rhythms and all that!

Ooh, I actually experimented with this! I make my own elderberry gummies sometimes. Last month I took my store-bought ACV gummy and my homemade elderberry one together about 30 mins before lunch. Didn't have any issues stomach-wise, but hard to say if either worked 'better.' My DIY instinct says check the labels for overlapping ingredients (like extra vit C or zinc) to avoid mega-dosing. Coffee's pretty harsh though, Pete - maybe try it on a day off first?

Night shift worker here - I take my ACV gummy around 2am with a protein bar during break. Coffee is basically my blood at that hour lol. Been doing the combo (gummy + iced coffee) for weeks. No weird side effects for me, but everyone's different. Definitely keeps me awake, but that's the goal. Maybe just listen to your body?

Thanks all! Appreciate the real-world takes. Think I'll try Jack's spacing idea first, and maybe Pat's label check. Pete, glad it works for your schedule - gives me some confidence. Will report back if anything funky happens!
