I'd recommend laying off the vitamins while fasting. They're highly concentrated chemicals, and just dropping them into a completely empty system sounds like trouble. I don't see a reason for taking vitamins while fasting, but if that's your choice, maybe you could get the liquid kind that you could dilute into the water you'll be drinking. (Or grind yours up & dilute as much as possible.) If you do take vitamins while fasting, be sure to drink tons of water, so your body can flush out anything that it can't absorb. (When I've taken vitamins, without even fasting, the color & smell of my urine show that there's a ton of chemicals just coming right back out again.)
But really, I wouldn't put vitamin C (acid) or gingko biloba (stimulant) or other things like that into my system while fasting. It could cause quite a bit of distress. I'm not sure why you're going to be fasting, but for many people part of the point is to give the body a break from digesting so that it can work on internal "house cleaning." Making it deal with concentrated chemicals could interfere with that process.
