Ingredient Spotlight: Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium

Electrolytes help support

  • Cellular hydration*
  • Muscle & nerve function*
  • Steady energy through a fast*

Antioxidants

Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals, the unstable molecules that build up from everyday stressors like exercise, pollution, and poor sleep. Regular antioxidant support contributes to healthy aging over the long term.*

The Kētos philosophy

Formulated to work together

Nutrients don't act in isolation. We pair them the way the body uses them.

Synergy over isolation

Certain nutrients enhance each other's absorption and effect. We formulate for those pairings.

  • Sodium + PotassiumFluid balance
  • Magnesium + Vitamin B6Optimized uptake
  • Betaine + ElectrolytesCellular hydration
  • Vitamin D3 + K2Enhanced absorption

Chosen forms

The form of a nutrient decides how well the body can use it. We pick the gentler, better-absorbed ones.

  • Citrate mineralsGentle absorption
  • BetaPower® betaineOsmolyte support
  • Chelated magnesiumBetter uptake
  • No harsh salt formsEasy on the stomach
