Warum — die Kalorien- und Insulinlogik
Plain vitamin pills and capsules — vitamin D, B12, zinc, magnesium — are effectively calorie-free and do not trigger insulin secretion. Gummy vitamins are a different story: they typically contain 2–8 g of sugar each, providing meaningful calories and a real glucose/insulin spike. Oil-based supplements (vitamin D in olive oil, fish oil capsules) contain fat calories but at levels too small to matter for most goals.
Hängt es von Ihrem Fastenzielem ab?
Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) are best absorbed with dietary fat, so they are more effective taken with a meal in the eating window. Water-soluble vitamins (B, C) can be taken at any time. For autophagy fasting, some researchers suggest avoiding even calorie-free capsules to maintain the pure fasted state, though this is a stricter interpretation. Gummy vitamins should always be taken in the eating window.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
- Can I take vitamins while fasting?
- Plain vitamin capsules or tablets are generally fast-safe. Gummy vitamins contain sugar and break a fast. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) absorb better with food, so the eating window is a better time to take them regardless.
- Do fish oil capsules break a fast?
- Fish oil capsules provide fat calories — typically 10–15 kcal per capsule — which is small but not zero. For weight-loss fasting, this is negligible. For strict autophagy, take fish oil with meals.
