[rHuth99]

Someone told me at work if i drink coffee while taking supps it will not be as effective ? Is that true ?

No. Tell them to tell you why.

 

[stevesmi]

if you are taking a supp to relax anxiety or sleep then yeah they are right

I'm not quite sure what you mean by supplements?
But the absorption of certain vitamins and minerals Yes.

The polyphenols in tea/coffee can prevent the absorption of certain nutrients. They're right.

I have done this plenty of times. Can't say it makes a difference. If indeed it does, it would not be significant.

It's BS. Labs and studies try 8, 12 and 16 hours fasts before they try you out on products. So forget how a supp might be absorbed on coffee - what about that meal you ate, or the snack and so on. So, unless as Stevesmi says you're taking something to relax you, at worst it'll slow you down. There's SOME evidence that caffeine will inhibit some supplements. But who knows what supplements you're taking.

I've been taking my daily supplements with my morning cup o' Joe for several decades now. They seem to be working. So that someone is mistaken.
