I just want to stress how important it is that you take vitamins during your trial. You will need nutrients during this period of long fasting.

You want a general multivitamin. Vitamin D12 is also very good. Magnesium is also very good. You want to make sure to get extra Magnesium. Otherwise you could endure hair loss and silver greying. Zinc is important but you will feel ill supplementing it on an empty stomach. Take the Zinc if you plan on sitting down for a long period. I don't think you'd need iron, especially since a lot of people have hemochromatosis and iron overload causes many of our symptoms.. You want Chromium, Sodium, and Potassium.

You need to maintain your electrolyte balance and get yourself sufficient sodium since you won't be getting it from foods. Around 1000 MG a day should suffice. BHBs are also important if you take a long fast.

BCAAs, Branch Chain Amino Acids will make sure your muscles maintain their proper function. I'd also recommend light exercise while fasting, don't overdo it, as there WILL be times where you will be lightheaded.

Your testosterone during the fast will spike to 300% of it's normal amount. Do some research first to make sure you know what you're doing. This isn't an endeavor taken lightly.
