A member asked:
While fasting, would it be a good idea to take vitamins?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends..: Most vitamins are best absorbed when taken with food and cause nausea when taken on an empty stomach. Fasting is usually for a short time; therefore, prudence suggests that waiting until your next meal would be best.
