    Right now im looking to find a supplement.. I'm on a low carb low sugar but high fat and medium protein diet.. but I'm losing alot of electrolytes... so I'm feel jittery and heart racing at times.. like dehydration. I'm drinking water but I think o need more potassium idk.. but on a good note I lost 3 lbs this week..

    I apologize if I sound rude/blunt, but please consider seeing a doctor about this. It's better to get everything checked out than assume it is a vitamin/mineral deficiency (or dehydration) when it's something a lot more serious.

    Evening Primrose Oil
    Collagen
    Fish oil
    Multi vitamin
    Magnesium

    @violetaborja other than seeing doctor which would be prudent. Did you start supplementing with Magnesium and up your salt when you started low carb??

    Thank you.. I'll ask the HM's on tuesday..I get to use military doctors and they may just tell me to hydrate more lol but it isn't all the time.. probably had it about 3 times this week.. I still feel more energetic and alert..

    Thanks! Yea I should've planned better.. I'm trying to find more veggies and foods that have higher potassium and sodium and magnesium.. like today I ate avocado to help increase and am paying more attention to that.. I usually didn't like salty food but I started adding more today which now makes my food salty.. I might just drink some.. and today don't really have it.. just in the am after my workout but before I ate

    I-caps (MVI + Zeaxanthin + Lutein), Omega 3-FAs, Biotin, & Melatonin (as needed, more so in the summer).
    Currently experimenting with Ubiquinol
    Might throw Beta Alanine back in if I can muster up the courage to gain tolerance to the transient paresthesias

    Birth control. iron supplement, whey protein, and vitamin d in the winter. 3 out of 4 are doctor prescribed and the fourth is because I don't always eat enough meat to hit my protein macro.

    As a post-bariatric patient I am on vitamins for life. Besides a multivitamin I take extra Folic Acid, Iron, vitamin D, B vitamins and Calcium. But unless you are specifically deficient, this regimen won't be much help for you.

    Pretty well everyone in the northern hemisphere is vitamin D deficient, so you could take that.

    So if you take whey protein you don't need BCAA's? I see some people here taking both.
