Taking Magnesium Gummies with Coffee – Safe Combo?
Hey y'all, I just got these new magnesium gummies (the raspberry ones, yum!). I'm a huge coffee drinker – like, 3 cups minimum before noon. Anybody know if it's cool to take these gummies WITH my morning joe? Or does the caffeine mess with absorption? I wanna make sure I'm not wasting my money. Thanks!
So here's the deal: caffeine is a mild diuretic, which can increase magnesium excretion in urine short-term. BUT taking them together shouldn't cause any dangerous interaction. If you're worried about absorption, try spacing them out by an hour or so. Personally, I'd take the gummy after coffee, not with it. Also, some studies show caffeine can reduce magnesium absorption a bit, but it's minimal. You're good!
I actually use a smart water bottle that reminds me when to take supplements, lol. But seriously, I've combined magnesium gummies with my morning espresso for months and feel fine. Only thing is – the gummies are kinda sweet, so maybe brush your teeth after? Otherwise, no issues. Enjoy your boost!
Newbie here! Does magnesium help with caffeine jitters? I'm trying to meditate but coffee gets me too wired. Maybe I should try this combo? 🤔
