Fasting and supps

[showstopper45]

Would taking supplements while fasting break fast? Just wanted to make sure.

 

[P0N]

I personally do (assuming the supplements in question provide no caloric value).

 

[Fella Finn]

What kind of supps are you talking about?

 

[stevesmi]

when you do a water fast you should only consume water. electrolytes like magnesium, salt, and potassium are okay depending on what sort of climate you live in

supplements are completely out of the question, even things like multi vitamins

No as long as they do not contain caloric content

 

[stevesmi]

Multi vitamins have no calories and will break a fast. So will herbs and other supplements. don't get caught up with the calorie bullshit. a diet soda has no calories so do people actually seriously believe it is okay while fasting? use logic here people

things like citrus actually contain calories but they won't break a fast if you squeeze some lemon in your water. so no it isn't about calories

i see a lot of these social media guys pushing BCAA's during a fast. you are wasting your time if you listen to them, they are just trying to sell you their garbage

I say yes it does.

 

[RoySimpson]

Yes anything with calories is expected to break fast.
