Valleant has published a new guide on the best expert-recommended nutrients and supplements that support a keto diet.
-- The keto diet, which has become increasingly popular in recent years, involves the consumption of high-fat, low-carb foods with the ultimate goal of forcing the body to break down fat—rather than sugars—for energy. While this diet is typically effective for short-term weight loss, it does pose significant nutritional challenges that Valleant has now set out to solve.

As Valleant explains, the keto diet drives the body into a state known as ketosis, the very same process that the body undergoes during starvation. Similarly to other extreme diets, careful monitoring of one’s nutritional balance during this diet is critical for the maintenance of overall health, as a failure to do so could lead to decreased energy levels or even organ damage in extreme cases.
Consequently, those undertaking a keto diet must fill the gaps in their nutritional profile that high-carb foods would typically fill through supplementation. For example, the consumption of fatty meats as demanded by the keto diet can lead to an overabundance of omega-6 fatty acids in the body, which can be counterbalanced by omega-3 supplements.
Likewise, Valleant states that a low-carb diet can lead the kidneys to dump electrolytes into the bloodstream to make up for cratering insulin levels. This can be dangerous for many reasons, but risks can be mitigated by consuming a measured dose of electrolytes—potassium, sodium, and magnesium.
In the guide, Valleant stresses the importance of consulting with a dietician or nutrition professional before undertaking a keto diet, as doing so can help establish a clear plan and substantially reduce risks. Those professionals can also recommend supplements specific to an individual’s unique nutritional profile, which is more relevant than a generalized recommendation.
The supplements mentioned above are a small part of a long list provided by Valleant in their full guide. In addition to electrolytes and fatty acids, they also encourage the intake of digestive enzymes, antioxidants, and fiber supplements, as well as increasing one’s consumption of protein to ensure vital bodily systems are fully supported.
Valleant sources these recommendations from a team of experienced healthcare professionals who have been creating educational material since the early 1990s. Those interested in reading more from their team or in exploring the full keto supplementation guide should visit the link below.
