Voyajer...

Honestly, I didn't take anything but a multivitamin and some chromium until about 6 months into low carbing. At that point, I added some niacin, fish oil capsules and red yeast rice to help my cholesterol come down a bit more (my readings had gone up slightly). I added the potassium and calcium/magnesium a few months ago when I started working out actively 3 times a week and started having problems with leg cramps during my workout. Maybe I didn't notice a problem with potassium because I was already eating a lot of veggies that are naturally high in potassium and didn't need the extra supplement until I started putting more strain on my body by working out. I also started drinking more water at that time, too so it may have been a factor with increased electrolyte loss. I probably should have been taking them from the beginning, but we learn as we go don't we?
