What are the key supplements I should consume on Keto?

1. Exogenous Ketones

• While they can help elevate ketone levels temporarily, they don't directly assist in fat burning.

2. Electrolytes

• Importance: Essential during the initial phase of ketosis to avoid transitional side effects.

• Key Minerals:

  • Potassium: 4,700 mg recommended.

  • Magnesium and Sodium: Important for maintaining balance.

  • B Vitamins: Critical for energy metabolism (B1, B2, B3, B6, etc.).

• Additional Supplements:

  • Vitamin D3 and Omega-3: Support overall health.

  • Trace Minerals: Aid in nutrient absorption.

• Apple Cider Vinegar: Supports gut health, digestion, and helps regulate blood sugar levels, potentially reducing cravings.

• Lemon: May help prevent kidney stones.

3. B Vitamins

• Source: Nutritional yeast is a good source.

4. MCT Oil

• Function: Medium-chain triglycerides can provide a quick source of energy and support ketone production.

5. Herbs for Insulin Resistance

• Options:

  • Chromium

  • Bitter Melon

  • Green Tea

  • Gymnema

  • Goats Rue

  • Berberine
