咖啡和维生素，绝佳搭配？

Our cup of coffee may be an essential part of our morning routine， but new research suggests it comes with some serious health benefits. Then， we want to know whether adding vitamins to our coffee would make it a super cup.

There’s no easy answer. According to registered nutritionist Uta Boellinger， it can be a good option for those who aren’t getting the right vitamins from their diet. If someone is unwilling and unable to make any dietary changes and won’t take any supplements in other forms， perhaps having them in their coffee is the best option.

Supplements are a useful tool for boosting our overall health. In Boellinger’s clinic， she always go for a food-first approach but supplements are not only necessary when there is a deficiency， but can help us see results more quickly as they may be more highly concentrated and easier to include than certain foods.

However， BANT registered nutritionist Eva Humphries explains that we need to be wary of the type of nutrients added to our coffee so we can be realistic about the effect. It is also worth noting that synthetic nutrients， such as those typically added to coffee， may not be in the right form for us to fully digest. So we think we are getting 100% of our daily recommended intake of a specific vitamin from that enrich-coffee， but we may only actually assimilate 10% of that nutrient.

As a nutritionist， Humphries suggest supplements to her clients for shorter periods of time if there is a very specific need for them. For example， an athlete will likely have nutrient needs so high that it may be a struggle to meet those needs through food alone. In this context， supplements may be useful. On a more general level， it would be more advantageous to get the vitamins we need from food.
