Can you take a prenatal vitamin if you're fasting/not pregnant?
I'm, first of all, NOT PREGNANT. I just have a leftover bottle of prenatals from when I was, a year ago. I am going on a fruit and veggie fast, and so I know that I will be depleting myself from lots of vitamins and things that I need from other foods like meat, grains, etc.
So I heard the easy way to get around that is by taking a multivitamin, which helps level out things in your body while on a fast. But I just want to know if I can take my prenatal vitamins before I go buy a big thing of other vitamins. Are they the same?

It is not the same, but actually better than most multivitamins. You should include some protein in your fast. Protein is relatively low in calories and is found in lentils, nuts, fat-free milk, etc. Look it up. This is a healthier way to fast.

Sure take them. Some people say they’re better than regular multi’s anyway.
