Taking prenatal gummies with my morning coffee – OK or no?
Hey everyone! I just started taking these strawberry prenatal gummies, but I always have coffee first thing. Is it safe to wash them down with coffee? I know there's some iron and stuff in there, don't want to mess up absorption.
I've been doing that for months lol. My doctor said it's fine, just don't take them with calcium-rich foods because that can block iron. Coffee is fine, maybe wait 30 min if you're worried.
I take my prenatal gummies during my eating window (IF). I've read that caffeine can reduce iron absorption slightly, but it's not a huge deal. Just don't down them with a gallon of coffee 😂. I'd say you're good.
Honestly, I'd avoid it. I used to take gummies with my morning brew and got nauseous. Now I take them at night. Plus some gummies have biotin which can interact. Better safe than sorry.
