Mixing Vitamin C Gummies with My Morning Coffee?
Hey guys! So I've been taking these Vitamin C gummies for a while now, but I usually have them with my morning coffee. Is that okay? I feel like the acidity might break down the vitamin or something. Any thoughts?
Honestly, I wouldn't overthink it too much. Vitamin C is pretty stable, and coffee won't ruin it. I mean, I've downed mine with orange juice before, which is also acidic. But if you're worried, you could wait 30 mins after coffee. Just a suggestion from a yoga brain ;)
I'm all about natural synergy, but coffee might not be the best combo if you're looking for max absorption. Coffee can be a diuretic, so maybe you pee out more of the water-soluble vitamins. I'd suggest pairing with something like a smoothie with greens. Just my eco-friendly two cents!
From a fitness perspective, your body absorbs vitamin C best when taken on an empty stomach or with a meal that's not too heavy. Coffee might cause a slight spike in stomach acid, but it's still fine. I've done it plenty of times, no issues. Just make sure you're getting enough hydration!
