I agree with electrolytes, potassium, Magnesium & sodium. I noticed that if I don’t supplement these electrolytes, I have heart palpitations and muscle cramping. The only carb I eat is an occasional avocado for the potassium.

[beniiito]

I take magnesium or I will have very bad muscles cramps.
And obviously a lot of salty water.
I take vit D3K2 because here in Québec Canada we don't have a lot of sun time. And I work inside.

[tricianottingham]

Thank you! Was actually wondering about that today. Getting ready to start carnivore for the first time. Long time keto eater, but never did carnivore yet.

Modern meat is still deficient in a lot of things our modern soils are, even grassfed. Basically all minerals, especially magnesium and copper, are depleted in our soils, although the animals do concentrate a lot of what is still there for you. I'd definitely supplement electrolytes and get your iron/copper/zinc/iodine etc. levels checked. Organ meats are a good source of a lot of these.

Feeling my best when I take Potassium and Panethetic Acid, Vit D and K, B12, before I work out. Then Magneesium before bed. I make sure I also take extra Collegen and Creatine as I had a very bad case of leaky gut before Carnivore which is still healing.

[zippitydoodah]

Really? We are told we need 3, 400mg of potassium every single day as a minimum. And nobody I know gets that. But plenty of online "experts" make claims about it. I think you might be right and the US RDA lists are BS.

[ericfazekas]

Thank you
On for a month and loving this diet. Supplementing was one of my concerns.

[matthewsayers]

I'd probably recommend magnesium, Vitamin D3, K2, and good old salt. For everyone, not just carnivore dieters.

[jeweetzelf]

What about supplementing iodine if you don’t eat seafood?

[kayakinggrandmakelly]

Yay Air Force! My son is in and my dad is retired from it!

[caseybuckley]

I add in collegen since I am losing weight and a senior citizen. I don't want hair to thin out.

[dhippler]

I need to take vitamin D3 and potassium because both of them tested low at the doctor and I was having issues after being on carnivore for a year. I think it might be different for everyone.

[elag.]

I needed supplements for the first several years on carnivore. I tested low for B12, 0 Folate after the first year on meat only, low potassium to the point of needing an IV, and low C symptoms. I had crippling symptoms from vitamin deficiency. I may be an exception but Im certainly not alone. Now I take organs instead. I have head that eating overcooked meat may affect vitamin content. I started with gut issues that probably contributed also.

[cairistionamacleod]

Carnivorous for one year haven’t taken any supplements feel great good skin hair nails weight loss will never go back to “normal diet”

[Betrueberealbekindbealways]

Very much appreciate you .I was wondering your take on methylene blue for brain health .Since my brain injury I seemed to need more protein also battling Lyme disease coinfections thank you for your channel

[cindyshain]

What if you don’t eat fish with carnivore?
Omega 3 supplements?

[lauraporter]

Missing gallbladder means enzymes are needed, for me + vitamin D is required as I live far north with lots of stress

[OnewithYeshua]

I take d3, k2 & iodine & calcium. I wasn’t feeling great on carnivore once I started taking these I felt so much better but I also have thyroid issues. A healthy person may not have to.

[Datacorrupter]

i made this slow cooked pot roast today man it tasted good, eggs overeasy and baked bacon sounds good also

[wendywertz]

I take organic multivitamin, B-12 vitamin D, Zinc, C … co q10, and a good magnesium supplement. Theres nothing wrong with a small amount of high quality supplement. Do the research on the ingredients
