A reader wanted to know why you should not take vitamins while on the Master Cleanse.<\/p>\n
In the original Master Cleanser book Stanley Burroughs, the creator of the master cleanse says taking vitamins and supplements will prevent you from getting the desired result from the Master Cleanse. The reason he gives is vitamins and supplements will never be able to match the nutritional benefits of the real food Nature provides us with.<\/p>\n
He also warns that the improper balance caused by taking vitamins can be harmful to your body.<\/p>\n
Here’s my advice: Try doing the Master Cleanse without taking vitamins if you can. If you feel like you can’t complete the cleanse without vitamins then try taking only half a vitamin a day, or half of what you normally take on an average day.<\/p>\n
I know some people will say you absolutely can’t take any vitamins on the Master Cleanse, and I agree its best not to. But, if you feel like taking vitamins will help you during the cleanse, and that you won’t be able to finish the cleanse without vitamins then go ahead and take them.<\/p>\n
The way I see it if taking vitamins is the deal breaker for you, meaning it’s either take vitamins and finish the cleanse, or not take vitamins and don’t finish the cleanse then by all means take the vitamins.<\/p>\n
I mentioned above Stanley Burroughs, the creator of the master cleanse warned that vitamins can be harmful because they can contain too much or to little of certain vitamins. Most of the time they contain far too much, and you can actually overdose on vitamins if you’re not careful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
