Should I avoid taking vitamins during a 10-day water fast?!
Question: Should I avoid taking vitamins during a 10-day water fast.?
I'm taking two vitamins every day for skin hair and nails. Should I suspend the intake of these vitamins during my fast.? I mean, will it actually HURT the outcome of the fast if I take them.?
and for those people who start preaching about how fasting doesnt work and has no benefits, you need to do your homework. It has a LOT of benefits if done properly including body detoxification, energy gain, mind clarity, clear skin, better digestion, release from depression, etc. This isn't primarily a weight loss thing. So dont ask my why im doing it, its NOT dangerous. I just want to know if I can still take my vitamins. If you dont know anything about fasting, stay awayHealth Question & Answer

Answers:
I wouldn't. Alot of vitamins say take with food/milk because the food helps the body process the vitamin.
also, i've taken vitamins on an empty stomach before, and it has made me feel sick.
I don't know the point of your fast, but if you are doing it for mind/body/soul purification, I don't recommend taking vitamins, because your body will still have to process them. When you go on a fast, your body will clear out all the toxins and will start to regenerate organs. Since the vitamins will still have to be processed through the liver and other organs, I don't think your body will be able to regenerate itself because it has to do additional work of processing the vitamins.Health Question & Answer

Actually, it is extremely dangerous, but you are intent on not hearing that, so I won't even bother telling you why. Aside from this- you mention detoxing as one benefit- however, the liver requires protein to facilitate the detox pathway.Health Question & Answer
most definately take the vitamins during the fast; you'll probably feel, see, taste the results of those vitamins more during and after the time of the fast as opposed to that before the fast.
Your body will absorb the vitamins better.
