Can I mix Emergen-C gummies with my morning coffee?
Hey guys! I just got the Emergen-C 750mg Vitamin C gummies (orange/tangerine/raspberry) and I'm wondering if I can take them with my morning coffee. I usually have a cup of black coffee with a scoop of collagen peptides. Is that safe? Will it still be effective? Also, I take a probiotic capsule sometimes. Should I space them out?
Hi Yuri! I think it's fine to take them with coffee. Vitamin C is water-soluble so it doesn't need food. But coffee might affect absorption of some B vitamins? Not sure. I'd wait like 30 minutes after coffee to take the gummies just to be safe. Also, probiotics should be taken on an empty stomach for best results – maybe take them first thing then have coffee later.
Oh man, I love those Emergen-C gummies! Reminds me of the powder packs from back in the day. Anyway, I've taken them with coffee before and felt fine. Vitamin C boosts immunity, coffee gives energy – nice combo. Just don't overdo the caffeine. Also, collagen peptides are great for skin! I'd say you're good, but maybe check with your doc if you're taking meds.
Thanks guys! I'll try the 30-minute gap with coffee and take probiotics on empty stomach. @GummyGuru491, yeah the collagen helps my joints. Glad to know it's safe. Maybe I'll have a gummy with my afternoon tea instead. 😄
