Supplements with fasting?

Can i take supplements with fasting? I am thinking about multivitamin + magnesium and also maybe some caffeine??

I have some eczema problems and i want to see if fast will help. But i also need energy cause i have 2 babies so caffeine can help me, but also maybe it’s the cause of eczema worsening..

Answer

Depends on the length of the fast. If its over 7 days, I supplement a multivitamin daily. I also take coffee daily. Yes, you can argue that this disrupts autophagy, but autophagy is not black or white. Think of it as a bell curve distribution. You can also argue that vitamins are not needed until >30 days, but I like to be safe. I also take a vitamin B complex patch to reduce the possibility of refeeding syndrome; look at the NICE guidelines for refeeding syndrome. I’m currently on day 10 of a 30 day fast and I take Na+ + K+ + Mg+ + multivitamin patch + boron + vitamin B complex patch.
