Can I take this supplement during my fast?
If you are fasting for weight loss and are worried about your vitamin intake, you can take this supplement to top up your vitamin levels during your fast.
However, this is not essential. Your metabolism works in a different way when fasting. Many people fast successfully without taking any vitamin supplements.
We do strongly recommend electrolyte supplementation during fasting, and then electrolytes + Refeed multivitamins during your refeed phase.
Why doesn’t this supplement contain more electrolytes?
Electrolytes are crucial both during fasting and during the refeeding phase.
Fasting Refeed multivitamin is designed to go together with your standard fasting electrolyte supplements which should include sodium, potassium and magnesium.
We recommend continuing taking your fasting electrolytes for 1-2 days after your fast, just in much smaller dosages.
Is this supplement safe?
Yes, it is 100% safe.
Although very powerful, this product is NOT a medication or drug. It is a dietary supplement that only includes tried-and-tested ingredients with a long, scientifically-proven track record. The formulation was developed in consultation with the leading industry experts and Keto nutritionists.
The extra-strong dosages included in the formula are well within the safe upper limits as defined by the European Food Safety Authority.
Our manufacturing facility adheres to the strictest quality assurance standards (GMP) which covers all aspects of production from sourcing ingredients through to mixing, encapsulation and packing.
Should I worry about refeeding syndrome?
Refeeding syndrome is a serious health condition affecting malnourished patients after a period of starvation. Introducing food after a long period of fasting can cause abrupt metabolic shifts and biochemical disbalances. This in turn can lead to potential serious health problems if not addressed.
The actual refeeding syndrome is highly unlikely to occur after a well-managed electrolyte-supported EF regimen. But similar side effects can hit you in a milder form during your refeed.
How can I ensure a safe refeed phase?
Break your EF with something that’s super easy to digest. Bone broth is a popular option for the first meal. Gradually add small quantities of solid food. Avoid high-carb foods because insulin spikes can further disrupt your delicate metabolic balance at this stage.
Continue taking your fasting electrolytes for several days after the end of your fast. Support your refeed further with a targeted multivitamin such as our Fasting Refeed. Ideally, plan to refeed in a controlled way for at least a third as many days as you fasted.
