Q: Gina, Is it true that if u take vitamins right before your coffee your body doesn’t absorb the vitamin?
A: Yes, it is true that any drink or food containing caffeine such as coffee, tea, chocolate and some sodas can interfere with our body’s ability to absorb nutrients and increases their excretion from your body. If you have coffee every morning, don’t take your vitamins right after drinking coffee. Instead, take your vitamins at lunch or even at dinner time. If you are taking specific vitamins like B-vitamins for energy during the day, wait at least 1 hour after drinking your coffee before taking them. 🙂
