What about Calcium and Potassium?

[5 Smooth Stones]

Hi, This is my first post. I've been doing Carnivore for a couple of months and I'm wondering what you seasoned pros are doing for minerals, especially calcium and potassium. I do use liberal amounts of Himalayan salt on my beef so I probably don't need sodium. 

Thank you. I'm looking forward to this forum

Currently nothing special for calcium. Just whatever is in my carnivore or animal-based food choices. 

For potassium, I occasionally use a product called Daily Minerals from Keto Chow, about once or twice a week. I only use this "as needed" for leg cramps because I have a kidney issue, and I can become hyperkalemic. This stuff tastes like pure nightmares, so you have to dilute it in something and spread the dose out throughout the day.

Something less potent and actually quite tasty is the LMNT electrolyte drink mixes. You would have to drink 5 of these a day to match one dose of the Daily Minerals content. These taste delicious even just mixed with water.

Some carnivores eat several pounds of meat per day, like 4-5 pounds minimum and so they get their electrolyte requirements met and don't take anything at all. I don't get that hungry myself, lol.

My doctor recommends

 

 

They claim - "Our soy-free Two-Per-Day Capsules contain a bioactive form of the B-vitamin folate, 5-MTHF; quercetin; zinc citrate; vitamin E as mixed tocopherols and more" and the link from the image will take you to a page that lists all the info on them.

Not sure if they will help you but they have not seemed to harm me - yet
