I’ve never tried any supplements of any kind because I’ve always found them unnecessary… for me. I can understand why some people might want to or might need to take supplements to get the results they want. It’s just never been something I’ve needed to explore.
Part of the reason I don’t need them is I find because I’ve been living this way for so long that I can get back into ketosis within a day even after I’ve consumed a lot of carbs over the course of a few days. My normal way of eating is what’s considered Intermittent Fasting so I believe once the glucose in my system has been used up my body goes straight back into ketosis and I can start buring any fat that may have accumulated.
There is still some good information here if you’re considering supplements.
