I've done a 5 day fast before supplementing daily with Magnesium Citrate 210mg,Potassium Citrate 99mg, L-Tyrosine 500mg, electrolytes with water and small amounts of pink Himalayan salt in water. Just water and supplements. I'm planning on doing a 21 day with the same stack.
I have 3 questions:
1. Are my supplement amounts sufficient? Do you have recommendations of additional amounts or different supplements to add?
2. Is pink Himalayan salt ok or do I need a different salt?
3. Do you have any tips for a fast this long?
Thanks for your responses
Answer
Find yourself a well rounded electrolyte supplement that works for you and ditch the rest. A good electrolyte supplement will have everything you need, in proper ratios, and adding electrolytes in pill form will mess with the electrolyte balance.
Answer
Get electrolyte supplements: Magnesium, Potassium, and sodium.
As far as if they are enough? Probably. I am not a medical expert so take what I say with a grain of salt. I have done a 21 day fast with NO supplements and felt fine.
