What Your Body Really Needs During Ramadan Fasting 

5 Feb, 2026

“How are you going to stay productive this Ramadan?” As the fasting month begins, this question is on many people’s minds. 

Ramadan is a month of spiritual reflection and discipline. You may feel motivated to make the most of your days, at work, in ibadah, or with family. But changes in eating times, sleep patterns, and routines can challenge energy, focus, and digestion. What you eat at sahur and iftar does not just fill you up; it also affects how your body feels and performs while you’re fasting. 

This is where the right nutritional support can make a meaningful difference. 

Fuel Your Sahur, Energise Your Day

Sahur is the main source of energy before a long fast. Though people eat before dawn, many still face fatigue and poor concentration. Ramadan shifts in meal timing and food intake can cause nutrient gaps, especially in vitamins and minerals that support energy metabolism. Prolonged fasting also strains physical stamina and mental alertness. 

Multivitamins ensure key nutrients for energy, brain function, and vitality. Ginseng, a traditional herb, supports stamina and focus, making it especially useful during fasting. 

BiO-LiFE Ginsomin– Daily Vitality to Power Your Fasting Day 

BiO-LiFE Ginsomin contains 50 mg of standardised Korean Panax ginseng extract plus 11 vitamins and 9 minerals to: 

  • Support optimal energy and stamina for all-day alertness 
  • Support mental focus and alertness, especially for work or driving 
  • Support daily vitality, helping the body cope with fasting demands 

Taken at sahur, BiO-LiFE Ginsomin helps sustain energy and productivity during Ramadan. BiO-LiFE Ginsomin is suitable for adults who observe long fasting hours and wish to support daily energy and mental alertness during Ramadan. 

Probiotics and Fasting: Why Gut Balance Matters 

Did you know that a healthy gut influences not just digestion, but also energy and mood? Changes in meal timing and food choices during Ramadan can affect gut balance, leading to bloating, indigestion, or irregular bowel movements.1

Probiotics have been shown to: 

  • Support a healthy balance of gut bacteria.2
  • Support nutrient absorption to help your body use energy efficiently throughout the day.2
  • Support mood and fatigue levels, as the gut and brain are closely connected.3

When your gut works well, your sahur energy lasts longer, helping you stay alert, comfortable, and energised during fasting. 

BiO-LiFE A.B. Adult Gold Pre & Pro – Gut Balance for Adults

  • Support nutrient absorption for optimal energy 
  • Support the growth of good bacteria, which can help prevent digestive discomfort during fasting 

BiO-LiFE A.B. Adult Gold Pre & Pro can be taken daily during sahur or iftar to support digestive comfort as eating routines change. 

BiO-LiFE A.B. Junior Pre & Pro – Gentle Gut Support for Kids 

While children adjust to Ramadan’s routine changes, intake of BiO-LiFE A.B. Junior Pre & Pro helps to: 

  • Support gut health and regular digestion in children 
  • Support nutrient absorption for growing bodies 
  • Support kids’ energy and comfort, whether they are partially fasting or adapting to new mealtimes 

BiO-LiFE A.B. Junior Pre & Pro is suitable for children adapting to new mealtimes or partial fasting routines during Ramadan. 

Ramadan places unique demands on the body through long fasting hours and changes in routine. Supporting both energy levels and gut health helps the body adapt more comfortably, so you can focus on the spiritual side of fasting.
