  1. If the vitamin C is ascorbic acid, drinking coffee will not help the fact that the ascorbic acid is making you calcium deficient.  Ascorbic acid is not vitamin C, it is only part of the "C" complex and requires cofactors of the "C" complex to be utilized by the body.  Proof of this is the fact that ascorbic acid will not even cure scurvy.  Additionally, if you take ascorbic acid with a coca cola, or other soda that uses Benzoate of Soda for a preservative, you will get BENZENE that is high toxic and poisonous to the body from the combination.  

    Vitamin E, if it is from a synthetic source and most of them are is most likely a derivative of Coal Tar, a petroleum distillate that is dead and will not help you.  Coffee has caffeine in it that causes your adrenal glands to fire as a result of of an endocrine system process of high insulin spikes to high glucagon production.  When this happens, you will be producing excess cortisol and your liver reprioritizes and you will not be making steroid hormones, but making cortisol instead and creating the process of exhausting your adrenal glands.  Coffee does have some redeeming qualities like the fact it contains rubidium that helps your thyroid hormones T4 to be converted to T3 hormones that is the active hormone that creates the energy.  Additionally, coffee is a diuretic and does dehydrate the body.  You need to consume 1.5 times the amount of coffee you drink in water to compensate for the water loss coffee creates.

    Nescafe is one of the worst things you can drink because it is loaded with chemicals.  The big problems with chemicals many times is not the particular chemical you ingest, but the "COMBINATION" of chemicals you ingest and come in contact with in the environment that creates big, unpredictable problems in the body.  These so called "scientific studies" on things like the artificial sweeteners that show they do little damage to the body forget about the "combination" effect of other chemicals ingested.  This is a sad commentary of our so called scientific community that touts themselves as being so learned.

    good luck


  2. coffee don't drink that stuff, it will not only take vitamins but it will dehydrate you and in the long shot you can get kidney stone.

  3. "It is well established that intake of caffeine causes calcium to be excreted. For every cup of coffee (equivalent to 150 mg of caffeine), approximately 5 mg of calcium is excreted in the urine. The research on the effects of caffeine on calcium absorption, however, is less conclusive at this time. When that is the case, we tend to err on the side of safety and advise avoiding the use of caffeine with calcium supplements. You may drink coffee at least half hour before or after you have taken your supplement.

    Caffeine may reduce the absorption of some minerals as well, such as manganese, zinc, & copper, and vitamins such as vitamin A & B complex."

    ^-^ from what that guy said, i think vitamin C and E doesnt counts
