Can I take Vitamin B complex and Vitamin C together?

Varför detta händer

Both Vitamin B complex and Vitamin C are water-soluble. This means they do not build up in the body; instead, the body uses what it needs and flushes out any excess through urine. They do not interfere with each other's absorption or metabolism.

It is perfectly safe to take these together. For the best absorption, take them with a glass of water. Since Vitamin B can sometimes be stimulating, taking them in the morning is usually best to avoid any disruption to your sleep.

Bleeding disorders

Rosehip contains vitamin C and other compounds that may slow blood clotting. This can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding, particularly if you are already taking blood-thinning medications or have a scheduled surgery.

Njursten (renala kalkyler)

Höga doser av vitamin C kan öka mängden oxalat i din urin, vilket avsevärt ökar risken för att utveckla njursten, särskilt om du har haft dem tidigare.

G6PD-brist

Mycket höga doser av vitamin C kan orsaka oxidativ stress och leda till nedbrytning av röda blodkroppar (hemolys) hos individer med G6PD-brist.

Alkohol

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking Vitamin B complex. Alcohol interferes with the absorption of B vitamins and can increase the rate at which your body loses them, making the supplement less effective. Additionally, chronic alcohol use can lead to B vitamin deficiencies.

Caffeine (Coffee/Tea)

Caffeine can act as a mild diuretic, which may increase the rate at which water-soluble vitamins like B complex and Vitamin C are flushed out of your body through urine. It is best to take your vitamins with water rather than tea or coffee.
