GummyTalk Forum

Hey everyone, new to the gummy vitamin world here. I've been taking NAC gummies for about a month now (for immune support and antioxidants), and I usually have them with my morning coffee. Is that okay? I read somewhere that coffee might interfere with absorption, but I'm not sure if that's just for pills or gummies too. Anyone have experience with this combo?

Honestly, I'd be careful mixing anything with coffee, especially supplements. Coffee has caffeine and acids that might mess with how your body absorbs the NAC. My rule of thumb: take supplements on an empty stomach or with water, wait 30 mins, then have coffee. Better safe than sorry, especially if you're giving these to kids (I don't, but just saying!). Have you checked with a doctor? I'm always skeptical of these combos without professional advice.

Great question! Back in my blogging days (circa 2015, ah the memories), I wrote about NAC and coffee. From what I recall, coffee's tannins might slightly reduce absorption of some antioxidants, but NAC is pretty robust. I used to take my NAC gummies with a cup of joe and felt fine—no issues. That said, everyone's different! Maybe try alternating: some days with coffee, some without, and see how you feel. Old-school self-experimentation never hurts!

Busy pro here—I take NAC gummies with my espresso shot every morning, no problems. Saves time, and I haven't noticed any side effects. If it's safe with pills, gummies should be fine too (they're just easier to chew, lol). But yeah, maybe space it out if you're worried. I'm too slammed to wait 30 mins, so I just go for it. Works for me!
