Taking Omega-3 gummies with my morning coffee – yay or nay?
Hey, I just started using these Omega-3 gummies (mixed berry flavor, yum). I always have a cup of black coffee in the morning. Would taking them together be a bad idea? I read somewher that caffeine can hinder absorption of omega-3s. Thoughts?
Ooh, great question! I actually take my omega-3 gummies with my morning smoothie, but I've heard that coffee could reduce absorption because of its thermogenic effect? Not sure though. Maybe take them 30 mins apart? Either way, you're getting those omega-3s! #guthealth
Bro, I've been taking them with coffee for months and I'm still alive lol. Honestly, I think it's fine. The gummies are small and coffee doesn't seem to cause any issues. Plus the caffeine helps me stay awake, so win-win. But if you're worried, just take them after coffee.
Thanks guys! I'll try taking them after coffee then. UpliftUrsula, do you add anything special to your smoothie for absorption?
I add a little bit of chia seeds and flax oil – extra omega-3s! Also, I read that taking omega-3s with a meal containing fat helps absorption. But gummies are already absorbable, so you're prob fine. 😊
