What VITAMINS and SUPPLEMENTS can you take during INTERMITTENT FASTING? Doctor O'Donovan explains

In this video Doctor O'Donovan explains which supplements and vitamins you CAN take during INTERMITTENT FASTING and which you should AVOID.
We also discuss drinks (such as bone broth, water, tea and coffee).
In the video we cover:
00:00 - Introduction
00:16 - Which supplements you CAN take DURING FASTING
01:51 - Which supplements should you AVOID DURING FASTING
03:24 - Drinks during fasting
Many diets focus on what to eat, but intermittent fasting is all about when you eat.
With intermittent fasting, you only eat during a specific time. Research shows fasting for a certain number of hours each day or eating just one meal a couple days a week may have health benefits - for example for loosing weight and for better control of diabetes.

Thank you! Is there a difference with supplements in capsule and powder form? Anything to look out for in the capsules that contain the supplement?

[@iamkamie]

Hi thanks for the video. I just started doing fasting. Is it ok to take berroca during fast?

[@anthonyw2757]

Hello! Even though less than 50 grams of carbs a day may very likely maintain ketosis, it is not maintaining your fast - 2 different things!! Plus it takes about 14 DAYS to fully get into ketosis, even though you will start making ketones during a 24 hour + fast. Definitely an important topic! Thanks! RD.

[@loretomurraylm]

Hi Doctor, what is your thoughts on taking Shilajit while fasting?

I’m on one meal a day but I take vitamin D3 and k2 for my heart ,Acidophilus , apple cider vinegar, sauerkraut for my gut health and spirilina for my thyroid and sugar free electrolytes , I do this with a smoothly of a whole lemon ,turmeric,cinnamon cayenne pepper,black pepper and a splash of extra virgin olive oil 4 hours before my main meal . I’ve gone from nearly 18 stone to 13 in just over eight months , I’ve given up alcohol and smoking . I’m 53 and it’s the best I’ve felt since my twenties .

[@DoctorODonovan]

The BEST BEST BEST thing you ever did in your LIFE is quit smoking ... Same boat as you , wish me luck and NEVER EVER smoke again 🙏

[@user-pz4eb6vg5t]

Is it ok taking Magnesium Citrate supplements before bed when fasting coz it helps me in digestion coz I suffer from hard constipation even after taking lots of fiber from veggies, am on OMAD diet

[@nistah13]

Can I take iron tablets whi doing IF?

[@zuzuonly]

Why does nobody mention l-carnitine? I can't find reliable sources providing the answer to the question whether it breaks fasting or not.

[@sylviasparks5585]

What about B12 sublingual and ACV tablets I take every morning along with a turmeric supplement do these break my fast ?

[@bashbash19]

How a bout Contraceptive pills ?

[@JB-gu5ru]

What about glutathione? I have glutaryl brand that you spray on and rub in. Would that break a fast? I read about a study where they gave glutathione to mice while they were fasting and it was shown to be very beneficial to their gut health.

[@rosamercado9642]

Thanks! I learned a lot! 😊

[@DoctorODonovan]

Great! So glad to hear

[@TheMeatballsub666]

What about if you need to take meds? Does that mean i can only fast for 24 hours

[@Poison21Ivory]

I have a question. I hope to get answered quickly, but I weigh 247.5 and I want to start another weight loss journey before deciding on getting surgery. I have been taking prenatal vitamins since they were born about 5 years ago. If I fast for 3 days without eating, only fluids, can I continue to take the prenatal vitamins?

[@DinoMode]

Is it ok to take the beef organ pills during a fast?

[@dhruvrajsinhjadeja6160]

Taking shilajit breaks intermittent fasting?

[@user-sn7ko3rh1d]

So can diet pills break a fast

[@melsblesd]

I take magnesium every day once in the morning and once at night on an empty stomach. As long as I drink, lots of water, I find it fine. What about D3 K2?

[@MrmerryPippin-tw6rv]

I read that daily vitamin supplements dont really do anything because theyre hard for the body to absorb and its best to get them through food, because of the fiber and better absorbtion. So do they help at all or are they a waste of money

[@DoctorODonovan]

A well round diet from food is much preferred to vitamins and supplements. If you're eating a balanced diet you should get all the vitamins you need.

[@rachelleanntapnio8748]

Can i drink.melatonin while fasting?

[@brentkelly5445]

so for long fasts, fat soluble vitamins are pointless?

[@santanavallejo7384]

What about fishoil

[@pam164]

I normally wait till my fast is over before I take vitamins

[@DoctorODonovan]

Thanks for sharing Pam

[@aaronjohn786]

Yes this type of play safe I like

[@patriciaisabedra8251]

Can I take my fern d vitamins before meal during intermittent fasting

[@DoctorODonovan]

Thank you so much for watching the video and taking time to leave a comment. Unfortunately (and I know this will be frustrating for you), I am unable to give individual medical advice out on this channel. This is because of medico-legal reasons, not knowing your full case, circumstances and it would be unethical of me to do so otherwise. I have included the general resources I used to make this video in the description box but I have to advise that you speak to your own health provider (e.g. doctor, nurse) so that they can properly assess your case. Thanks for understanding.

[@readingoutpost4545]

What about herbal tea? Will that affect the ketosis effect during my fast?

[@DoctorODonovan]

In general - no

[@nikmacfif3]

My red blood cells dropped below range since i started fasting couple of weeks ago! Should i stop fasting?

[@TV-xp1rl]

Yes, because you start feeling weak and bad .get you iron up with supplements and iron foods. I don't think people who have iron issues should fast a whole day unless your has been stable awhile. It takes months to stabilize even when you feel normal again. Keep watch on it and stay safe ❤

[@joannebrixton2363]

Are you in the uk

[@DoctorODonovan]

Yes

[@gerryortiz7276]

What about squeezing lemon into water?

[@dr.swatikale5]

What about homeopathy pills

[@lordcharfield4529]

Great! Finding a British doctor means that you’re a real doctor, unlike the American Chiropractors et al who mislead millions of their subscribers with their spurious PhD’s! Subscribed 👍

[@DoctorODonovan]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@Yusmaykel17]

What about this new 0 calories vitamins water and C4 DRINKS

[@YrricBjork-dp6bg]

Is fish oil Okay to take Fish Oil During my eating window im currently on omad....Will It Kick me out of ketosis?

[@sgill4833]

So Omega 3 ok or no? You didn't really answer.

[@henrikpetersson3463]

I don't think anyone really knows. But considering that some people argue that MCT oil won't kick you out of ketosis, then Omega 3 should be safe as well. If that is the case.

[@user-sn7ko3rh1d]

I take magnisum everyday on a fast I guess I'll stop

[@ed1pk]

Keep taking magnesium. The issue is that it may upset your stomach. 2:47

[@user-MetalAngel]

The root word of vitamin is "vital". So vitamin is pronounced with a long vowel "i" genius.

[@free_soul9154]

Does glycerine in supplements break a fast ?

[@nottysara]

Can i take homeopathic medicine during fasting
