This combination of Vitamins and Minerals consists of our Steep Me Vitamin B Blend. Steep Me Vitamin B Blend can be particularly beneficial during extended fasts for several reasons. B vitamins, such as B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), and B6 (pyridoxine), play crucial roles in converting food into energy. During fasting, they help maintain energy levels by supporting metabolic processes. Vitamins B6, B9 (folate), and B12 are essential for maintaining a healthy nervous system. They aid in the production of neurotransmitters and support cognitive function, which can be particularly helpful during the mental challenges of prolonged fasting. B vitamins, especially B12 and folate, are vital to produce red blood cells. This can help prevent anemia and ensure that your body continues to transport oxygen efficiently. B vitamins participate in the synthesis of serotonin and other neurotransmitters that regulate mood. This can help mitigate mood swings and irritability that sometimes accompany fasting. Vitamin B-complex during fasting will not break a fast. Calcium was also included because during fasting, maintaining electrolyte balance is crucial. Calcium, along with other electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium, helps in various bodily functions such as muscle contraction and nerve transmission. Most of the body’s calcium is stored in the bones. During fasting, the levels of calcium in the blood remain stable because the body can draw on these bone stores. If you are fasting for an extended period calcium ensures you are meeting your daily requirements. Fasting can lead to fluid loss, which can affect electrolyte levels. Ensuring adequate hydration and supplementing with electrolytes can help mitigate this. Next, we added Himalayan Sea Salt. Himalayan Sea Salt is rich in essential minerals like sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. These electrolytes are crucial for maintaining hydration, nerve function, and muscle health, especially during fasting when your body might lose these minerals. It can help maintain fluid balance in your body. This is particularly important during fasting, as it can prevent dehydration and related symptoms like headaches and fatigue. It can help curb hunger and keep you feeling more balanced. Himalayan salt helps reduce the symptoms of electrolyte imbalance, such as muscle cramps and weakness, which can occur during prolonged fasting. Kokum Berry was added to offer several health benefits that can complement fasting routines. Kokum is known to help suppress appetite, which can be beneficial during fasting period. It aids digestion and can help alleviate issues like dysentery and constipation. Kokum has cooling properties, making it a refreshing addition to your diet, especially in hot weather. It is packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.  Red Ginseng was also included because it has potential benefits on blood sugar levels, which can be relevant during fasting. Ginseng has been shown to help lower fasting blood sugar levels. Ginseng can improve insulin sensitivity and help manage blood sugar levels. Ginseng is also known for its potential to boost energy, reduce inflammation, and enhance cognitive function. We also included DHA Omega 3. DHA Omega3 does not trigger an insulin response, which means they will not take you out of a fasted state but have numerous health benefits, including promoting heart, brain, and eye health. They can also help improve mood and reduce irritability, which can be particularly helpful if you feel hungry during your fasting window.

With the above ingredients, we added in our Amino Acid Blend. Steep Me Amino Acid Blend was added because it plays a significant role during fasting, especially if you are looking to maintain muscle mass and support overall health. They can help prevent muscle breakdowns during fasting. Amino acids can provide energy and improve performance, especially if you are engaging in physical activities while fasting. Fasting triggers autophagy, a process where the body cleans out damaged cells and regenerates new ones. Amino acids derived from autophagy can be used for gluconeogenesis or incorporated into new proteins. Tongkat Ali was included because it has potential benefits in boosting energy and supporting hormonal balance during prolonged fasting. It helps maintain energy levels and support metabolic functions. Next, we added Arabinogalactan Bark. Arabinogalactan Bark is great for fasting in that it supports the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus. This can help maintain a healthy gut microbiome, which is crucial during fasting periods when your digestive system might be more sensitive. It has immune-modulating properties, which can help boost your immune system. This is particularly useful during fasting, as a strong immune system can help your body cope better with the stress of fasting. Arabinogalactan can help improve intestinal permeability and support the integrity of the gut lining. This can be beneficial during fasting, as it helps maintain a healthy digestive tract. It may also help reduce inflammation in the gut, which can be beneficial if you experience digestive discomfort during fasting. Steep Me Potassium Blend because it is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in muscle function, fluid balance, blood pressure regulation, and nerve signaling. When fasting, especially for extended periods, maintaining adequate potassium levels is important to avoid symptoms like muscle cramps, fatigue, dizziness, and even arrhythmias. During fasting, your body can lose electrolytes, including potassium, through urine. This can lead to an imbalance, causing various symptoms so adding in potassium during prolonged fasts to maintain optimal body function. We also added Bupleurum because it is commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for its liver-cleansing and detoxifying properties. Bupleurum is renowned for its ability to detoxify the liver and improve its function. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation in the body and may strengthen the immune system, which can be beneficial during fasting. Korean Pine Needle because it helps to detoxify the body and provide essential nutrients during fasting periods. MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) powder was added because it can be a useful addition to fasting because they are quickly converted into ketones by the liver, providing an efficient energy source for the brain, which can help improve focus and concentration during fasting. MCT powder can help curb hunger cravings, making it easier to stick to your fasting schedule. MCTs can improve insulin sensitivity, which might be beneficial for metabolic health and provide increased satiety and energy.

Choline was included because it is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including brain development, muscle function, and liver health. A diet deficient in choline can exacerbate fatty liver but may also lower fasting plasma insulin levels and improve glucose tolerance. Choline is often recommended as a supplement for those on a keto diet or practicing intermittent fasting. It helps the liver handle higher amounts of healthy fats and can ease symptoms like keto rash. Steep Me Magnesium Blend was included because it helps maintain fluid balance, muscle function, and nerve signaling. During fasting, you are not consuming food, which means you are not getting electrolytes from your diet. Fasting can lead to a depletion of magnesium because your body excretes it at a higher rate to preserve other electrolytes. Symptoms of low magnesium include muscle cramps, fatigue, irritability, and vertigo. Magnesium supplements during fasting can help prevent these deficiencies and support overall bodily functions. Since magnesium does not contain calories, it will not break your fast. Proper magnesium levels can help reduce muscle cramps, improve energy levels, and support heart and brain function during long fasting periods. Finally, we added Gynostemma. Gynostemma can help lower fasting blood glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity. It may help reduce stress and anxiety, which can be beneficial during fasting periods. Gynostemma is believed to boost energy levels and support metabolic health by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an enzyme that plays a role in cellular energy homeostasis. Using Gynostemma during fasting might enhance the benefits of fasting by improving blood sugar control and reducing stress.
