Is it okay if I take Ossopan right before or after coffee? or should I wait for an hour?

Caffeine does NOT affect calcium absorption; the things that do are: spinach, soybeans, and cocoa (contain oxalic acid which binds to calcium directly in some plant-foods making the calcium unavailable for absorption)phytates (substances found in some plant foods); dietary fiber; laxatives/diarrhea, tea (contains tannins which hinder calcium uptake), and certain meds like steroids and anti-epileptic drugs.
