I start my three weeks do opti on Monday.  I was wondering if you can still take your vitamins while on it.  I didn't see anything either way in the paperwork.

I was actually looking for something in my paper work about this the other day and I couldn't find anything. I decided to not take them and just do the optifast. I take iron and sometimes it bothers my stomach. If I feel to tired and dragged out than I will start taking them. I have to do 2 weeks and start on Tuesday Sept. 30 it will be the longest 14 days of my life but worth every second of it. All the best and take care,

I started my vitamins a month before so my body would adjust to them... the nurse did not have a problem with me taking them while on opitfast..im heading into week 3 of Opti....take your vitamins and make sure you take fibre along with it!!! its something you will have to get used to for the rest of your life!!  Good luck!!

Yes you should be taking your vitamins during opti but you should avoid vitamin c while on it. I forget why but I did read that somewhere. Good luck.
