00:00Think your morning coffee is helping your health?
00:02It might be doing the opposite if you're taking these five supplements.
00:06Over two in three Americans drink coffee every day,
00:09and nearly 60 million take vitamins or supplements.
00:12But pharmacists are sounding the alarm.
00:14Mixing coffee with certain supplements
00:16could mean your body absorbs almost none of their benefits.
00:19Let's start with vitamin D.
00:21Caffeine may block your body's vitamin D receptors.
00:24That means even if you take it, your body may not use it.
00:27Low vitamin D can lead to weak bones, muscle pain, and even dementia.
00:32Next is calcium.
00:33Coffee's diuretic effect causes calcium to leave your body through urine.
00:37This can weaken your bones and raise your risk of fractures.
00:40Third is iron.
00:42Caffeine and tannins in coffee can cut iron absorption in half.
00:45That can leave you feeling tired, foggy, and low on energy.
00:49Number four is magnesium.
00:51It helps with sleep, blood pressure, and muscle function.
00:54But coffee flushes it out before your body can absorb it.
00:57And finally, B vitamins.
00:59These are water-soluble and vital for energy and brain health.
01:03But caffeine pushes them out through urine too fast
01:06to get the full benefits of your supplements.
01:08Wait at least an hour after your coffee.
01:10Your body and your brain will thank you.
01:13We'll thank you.
01:14We'll thank you.
01:15We'll thank you.
01:16We'll thank you.
