Hey everyone, I've been taking these magnesium citrate gummies for about a month now to help with sleep and muscle cramps. I usually take them at night, but I was thinking about switching to mornings since I sometimes forget. My question is: can I take them with my morning coffee? I drink a pretty strong cup every day, and I'm worried they might interact or not work as well. Anyone tried this combo?

As a mom of three, I'm always cautious about mixing supplements. Magnesium can have a laxative effect for some people, and coffee already gets things moving, if you know what I mean. I'd be worried about stomach issues or dehydration. Have you checked the label for any warnings? Maybe space them out by an hour or two to be safe. Better safe than sorry when it comes to our bodies!

OMG I LOVE this question! I've been taking magnesium gummies with my matcha latte for years and it's a game-changer! The caffeine actually helps with absorption, and magnesium can reduce coffee jitters. I use a high-quality brand and feel so balanced all day. Just make sure you're drinking enough water too—hydration is key! Go for it and let us know how you vibe!

From a fitness perspective, timing matters. Coffee might slightly reduce magnesium absorption due to caffeine's diuretic effect, but it's minimal if you're well-hydrated. I recommend taking the gummies 30 mins before or after coffee to optimize uptake. Also, consider your goals: if it's for sleep, mornings are fine, but night might still be better. What's your daily routine look like?

Thanks for the replies! @VitalVince, good point about the label—I'll check it. @UpliftUrsula, that's reassuring to hear! @VibeVitamins, I workout in the evenings, so maybe I'll stick to nights for the muscle recovery benefits. Appreciate all the input!
