Can I take Vitamin C gummies with my morning coffee?
Hey all! I usually take my vitamin C gummy with breakfast, but lately I've been having coffee. Is it safe to take them together? Will the heat affect the gummy? Any experiences?
I've done that a few times actually. I don't think the coffee heat is an issue unless you're dunking the gummy in it lol. I just pop mine and then drink coffee. But I heard vitamin C can be a bit acidic on an empty stomach, so maybe have it with food. I'm no expert tho.
From what I've read, there's no known interaction between caffeine and vitamin C. The gummy should be fine with warm liquids, just don't chew it with hot coffee in your mouth haha. However, some studies suggest calcium can interfere with vitamin C absorption, so if your coffee has milk, you might wait 30 min. Just a thought!
Oh good point about the milk! I usually have oat milk but still. Thanks y'all! I think I'll just take it with breakfast and coffee separately. Better safe than sorry!
