106. Are You Absorbing Your Vitamins‪?‬ Happy Whole You

Today, I'll be discussing vitamin and mineral absorption with you. Additionally, you might not be aware that caffeine, a wonderful stimulant found in coffee, can affect how well vitamins are absorbed. I'm going to discuss a study that looked at how coffee might affect vitamin absorption, which was published in the Journal of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. As caffeine has an impact on your body, I wanted to use this episode as a reminder to you to check in with yourself and see how much you're drinking and ingesting. Pay attention to this episode to learn more about this!

 

"The other aspect of the caffeine not only as a diuretic but it also encourages muscle contraction along the GI tract. This can cause you to release waste faster, not always a bad thing but this can mean that you get rid of the vitamins and minerals in your body quicker."
