The ketogenic diet is nutritionally rich, but the shift in metabolism and fluid balance means certain micronutrients need extra attention. Here is a comprehensive breakdown of keto supplementation.
Sodium, potassium, and magnesium are lost rapidly when carbs are restricted. Supplementing these prevents the keto flu and supports muscle function. Target: 2–3g sodium, 1–3.5g potassium, 300–500mg magnesium daily.
Most people are already low in magnesium. On keto, losses increase. Magnesium glycinate is the most bioavailable and gentlest on the stomach.
Medium-chain triglycerides convert rapidly to ketones and can boost energy and mental focus. Start with 1 teaspoon and work up to avoid digestive discomfort.
Ketone salts and esters can boost blood ketone levels temporarily but are not necessary if your diet is correct.
Before reaching for supplements, maximise nutrient density through food. Our keto beverages — including bone broth and electrolyte drinks — cover many micronutrient needs naturally. Also check our keto snacks for nutrient-dense options.
