Vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients

Nutrients play a crucial role in supporting the health and effectiveness of the keto diet. The right balance and sufficient intake of nutrients provide energy, support metabolic processes, strengthen the immune system, and contribute to overall well-being.

Mercury
Minerals
Mercury. Disrupts the functioning of the brain, kidneys, and immune system. With accumulation - tremors, memory impairment, depression, coordination problems. Therapeutic approaches include chelators and detoxification support (glutathione, selenium, alpha-lipoic acid).
Lead
Minerals
Lead. Toxic to the nervous system, blood, bones, and kidneys, displacing calcium and zinc. With accumulation - anemia, developmental delays, headaches, hyperactivity in children. Chelators (such as DMSA) and correction of deficiencies (zinc, calcium, iron) are used for elimination.
Cadmium
Minerals
Cadmium. Toxic to the kidneys, bones, and respiratory system, it disrupts enzymatic processes. With accumulation — osteoporosis, renal failure, hypertension. Therapy includes increasing levels of zinc, selenium, and antioxidants to displace cadmium.
Arsenic
Minerals
Arsenic. It disrupts metabolism and can cause cancer. In cases of chronic poisoning, there are skin lesions, arrhythmia, and oncological processes. Chelators (DMSA, DMPS), selenium, and a diet rich in sulfur-containing amino acids are used for detoxification.
Beryllium
Minerals
Beryllium. Impairs the functioning of the immune and enzymatic systems, may replace magnesium and zinc. Upon exposure - pneumonia (berylliosis), weakness, immunosuppression. For elimination, it is important to address magnesium and zinc deficiency, support the liver, and provide antioxidant protection.
Transfer factor
Other Substances
Transfer factor
Vitamin U
Vitamins
Vitamin U. Protection of mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract, anti-ulcer action, detoxification. In case of deficiency, predisposition to ulcer disease, gastritis. Therapeutic doses (200-400 mg) - for gastrointestinal diseases.
Vitamin B17
Vitamins
Vitamin B17 (амигдалин, лаэтрил). Antitumor properties (discussive), analgesic effect. Toxic in large doses! Requires careful use under the supervision of a specialist.
Vitamin B15
Vitamins
Vitamin B15 (пангамовая кислота). Antioxidant protection, improvement of oxygen exchange, detoxification. In case of deficiency, fatigue, disturbances in the nervous system. Therapeutic doses (50-300 mg) – for asthma, alcoholism, atherosclerosis.
Vitamin B10
Vitamins
Vitamin B10 (пирролохинолинхинон, pQQ). Support for intestinal microflora, synthesis of folic acid, protection from UV radiation. In case of deficiency: skin pigmentation disorders, fatigue, headaches. Therapeutic doses (up to 4 g) - for vitiligo, scleroderma.
Vitamin B13
Vitamins
Vitamin B13 (оротат калия (витаминоподобное в-во)). Synthesis of nucleic acids, liver support, improvement of protein metabolism. In case of deficiency, growth and development disorders, anemia. Therapeutic doses (1.5-3 g) – for liver diseases, heart conditions, after surgeries.
Vitamin B11
Vitamins
Vitamin B11. Transport of fatty acids in mitochondria, energy metabolism, support for the cardiovascular system. Inadequacy leads to muscle weakness, fatigue, lipid metabolism disorders. Therapeutic doses (1-3 g) - for cardiovascular diseases, physical exertion.
Chlorophyll
Phytonutrients
Chlorophyll. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, detoxification, skin health support.
Erucic acid (Omega-9)
Fatty Acids
Erucic acid (Omega-9). In large doses, it can be toxic to the heart.
Myristic acid (Saturated)
Fatty Acids
Myristic acid (Saturated). May participate in regulating cholesterol levels. In excess, it may increase LDL cholesterol levels, which is associated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Stearic acid (Saturated)
Fatty Acids
Stearic acid (Saturated). Neutral effect on cholesterol levels, may support heart health. Unlike other saturated fats, does not raise levels of "bad" cholesterol (LDL).
Palmitic acid (Saturated)
Fatty Acids
Palmitic acid (Saturated). Supports the integrity of cell membranes, energy production. In excess, there is a risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
Arachidonic acid (AA, Omega-6)
Fatty Acids
Arachidonic acid (AA, Omega-6). Muscle growth, immune functions, maintenance of brain health. Involved in inflammatory and immune responses. Deficiency leads to immune system disorders, impaired muscle growth, cognitive function issues.
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, Omega-6)
Fatty Acids
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, Omega-6). Anti-inflammatory properties, regulation of hormonal balance, and skin health. In case of deficiency, inflammation, skin problems (eczema, dermatitis), hormonal disorders.
Linoleic acid (Omega-6)
Fatty Acids
Linoleic acid (Omega-6). Skin health regulates inflammatory processes, participates in the synthesis of cell membranes and hormones. A deficiency leads to dry skin, inflammatory diseases, and delayed wound healing.
