Electrolytes and low-carb diets
Low-carb diets - especially ketogenic plans like Atkins and Keto - accelerate water loss. Glycogen is stored by the body together with water (three parts of water per one part of glycogen).
Cutting out carbs from your diet forces your body to use up stored glycogen, also getting rid of the stored water. This water loss leads to electrolyte depletion.
Electrolytes are essential minerals that conduct electrical impulses in the body. They are vital for the normal healthy functioning of your body.
Electrolyte deficiency can cause "Keto flu*" symptoms like:
muscle cramps and spasms
headaches
heart palpitations and irregular heartbeat
extreme fatigue and muscle weakness
anxiety and depression
nausea and vomiting
Low-carb dieters are advised to supplement electrolytes, especially in the very beginning of their diets.
Supplementation helps to reduce these symptoms and ensures a trouble-free transition to ketosis.
Depending on your diet and lifestyle, you may experience electrolytes deficiency symptoms even after you are fully Keto-adapted.
You can continue taking this supplement throughout your low-carb diet, as and when required.
* Keto flu is a common name for symptoms of adaptation to low-carb and Keto diets. It is not the same as actual flu or influenza. This product is a food supplement and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease
