Keto Info Week 2/9

SUMMARY:

This document is provided for those of you on the list

doing "Atkin's like" diets. It is a table of the vitamin supplements

recommended for his plan. Some of his suggested dosages are

quite good. In fact, I recommend similar dosages for C, A, E,

Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Iodine, and the complete B group.

I'm not as familiar with some of the other substances like

PABA, Choline, etc. I would advise against any iron supplementation

though.

-------------------------------------------------------------

I've been using Atkins for awhile. My books are probably a little old,

but I follow the guidelines in Dr. Atkins "Super Energy Diet" and he

lists this as a basic formula:

Vitamin A 10,000 I.U.

Vitamin D 400 I.U.

Vitamin B-1 (Thiamine) 10 mg.

Vitamin B-2 (Riboflavin) 75 mg.

Vitamin C 1,500 mg.

Niacin 50 mg.

Niacinamide 100 mg.

Calcium 600 mg.

Vitamin B-6 200 mg.

PABA 1,200 mg.

Calcium Pantothenate 150 mg.

Folic Acid 3.6 mg.

Vitamin B-12 750 mcg.

Vitamin E 200 I.U.

Magnesium 300 mg.

Manganese 6 mg.

Zinc 45 mg.

Choline 750 mg.

Inositol 450 mg.

Biotin 300 mcg.

Rutin 45 mg.

Bioflavenoids 300 mg.

Iron (as ferrous fumarate) 18 mg.

Iodine (as kelp) 225 mcg.

What I do is take the ingredients of my multi-vitamin and subtract it

from Atkins formula to see what else I need. With a high potency multi

vitamin you probably only need to take Vit. C, folic acid, calcium, and a

B-Complex. This works good for me.
