When water fasting longer than 4 days many recommend vitamins or electrolyte what is technically needed while going on a 15+ day fast ? I’ve heard you need pink salt, potassium, vinegar and how much of each on a daily basis ?
I am on day 11 and I take 1/8 tsp pink salt and 1/8 tsp potassium whenever I feel I need it which is about 3-4 times a day. Maybe a little more if I’m having a Sauna. Every evening I take 2 Tablespoons of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar to maintain good gut bacteria and 2 heaping teaspoons of Magnesium Citrate.
Now… My sodium/potassium intake MAY be slightly low, but early on in the fast, I tried the huge amounts of sodium/potassium that u/pixie404 is recommending and it totally screwed up my fast for 2 days, plus it made me feel like garbage. Not saying it’s wrong, but it just wasn’t for me. We are all individuals. Keep testing and see what works for you.
So far, no problems and feeling decent.
