God’s blessings fellow ketonian family. Hey just wondering if anyone knows if alpha lipoic acid will break your fast and if there is any significant other suggestions for supplements while extended fasting besides magnesium,Himalayan salt, and potassium? How about berberine?

May the one whose blessings you invoke, bless you too.
This is a very personal question. Firstly, if your extended fast is a water only fast, try to keep your supplements to none at all if possible. This is because when you are fasting your body is in cleaning/debris clearing mode and it shocks the liver, kidneys and other organs of elimination to have one foot in the digestive mode of eating (and taking supplements or anything but water) while having one foot in debris cleansing mode. This varies if you opt for a fat fast, or mtc oil fast, or intermittent fast… But a water fast should be as pure as you can get it - even avoiding lotions, soaps, toothpaste or anything your body/skin/mouth can absorb.
I have done a 10 day fast taking iodine and turmeric and it was terrible… Next time round I did 30 days and felt terrific - I was none other than the supplements making me feel dreadful and over toxic!
The best you can do for your body is stock pile nutrients a month prior to your fast by consuming a pristine diet (lots of RAW VEGS) and having you supplements then, then resume after re-feeding and you have re-fed for 1.5 times your fast - ie if you did 7 days then after 10.5 days start with the supplements again. This is the most easiest and most gentle on your liver - who has to process it all. God willing your fast will be successful.
ianad, but my idea would be to have the mag, Himalayan salt, and potassium only at the first sign of electrolyte imbalance if your can. but have them on stand by - and know the signs (moody, swelling, itchy, nerve twitches, chest pain, restlessness/or legs, poor sleep, headaches, depression etc)
May your fasting journey be blessed.
