DESCRIPTION
Bayer Ketostix Reagent Strips for Urinalysis 100 ea $7.99 Bayer Ketostix Reagent Strips for Urinalysis 50 ea  
Dr. Atkins says in Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (DANDR), "My patients often tell me that [lipolysis testing strips] are psychologically supporting.  To see them go from beige to purple is to receive in chemical code the message, I'm losing weight." pp. 102-103
Centrum High-Potency Multivitamin Tablets 130 ea $7.99 Centrum High-Potency Multivitamin Tablets 130 ea
"Find a very broad multiple vitamin."  DANDR p.101
Natrol Omega-3 Softgels, 1,000mg 60 ea $5.67 Natrol Omega-3 Softgels, 1,000mg 60 ea
"Omega-3 oils. Fish oil containing EPA, DHA.  I use 1500-2000 mg of the EPA on many patients. It is particularly valuable in those whohave triglyceride elevations. Some studies have described a cholesterol elevation in some people taking EPA, but I'm not convinced I see that response. I think it's very valuable. Alternately, flax (linseed) oil contains a different Omega-3 oil and may be of great value to certain individuals." DANDR p.183
Natrol OptiZinc Zinc Capsules, 30mg 60 ea $4.59 Natrol OptiZinc Zinc Capsules, 30mg 60 ea
"The second most important mineral for diabetic/hypoglycemic individuals is zinc."  DANDR p.147
Natrol St. John's Wort Tablets, 300mg 60 ea $8.33 Natrol St. John's Wort Tablets, 300mg 60 ea
Many low-carb dieters have found that St. John's Wort has helped with the initial anxiety of starting a diet.  However, some have also found that it may slow the initial weight loss.  
Nature Made Lecithin Tablets, 19gr 100 ea $5.77 Nature Made Lecithin Tablets, 19gr 100 ea
"Lecithin granules (much better than the capsules) two to three tablespoons daily. Can and should be sprinkled on the food; goes well on salad or vegetables or mixed in with eggs." DANDR pp. 182-183
Nature Made Potassium Gluconate Tablets, 550mg 100 ea $3.58 Nature Made Potassium Gluconate Tablets, 550mg 100 ea
In his chapter on "Treating Extreme metabolic resistance", Dr. Atkins discusses fasting.  "So I believe, as does most everyone in the field, that fasting should be modified.  It should include lots of electrolytes like potassium."  DANDR p.233
Nature Made Super B Complex Tablets with C 100 ea $8.45 Nature Made Super B Complex Tablets with C 100 ea
"Niacin.  This is the nutrient that most doctors know about.  Used as a drug, it can worsen diabetes and cause liver abnormalities.  Used as a nutrient (i.e. with the rest of the B comples, and in lower doses) it is simply a contributor to cholesterol and LDL control.  I usually prescribe 1000-2000 mg in a timed release form to avoid the rather unpleasant flush (heat wave) that develops at peak absorption time." DANDR p. 185
Nature Made Vitamin C Tablets, 500mg, with Rose Hips 130 ea $5.63 Nature Made Vitamin C Tablets, 500mg, with Rose Hips 130 ea

"
Chromium (nicotinate or picolinate). The dieter's best friend. Helps in eontrolling diabetes, hypoglycemia, and contributes greatly to cholesterol control. As the critics say, a must!  Adults use 200-600 mg." DANDR p.183
Twinlab L-Carnithine Capsules, 250mg 30 ea $9.99 Twinlab L-Carnitine Capsules, 250mg 30 ea
"A nutrient essential for transport of fatty acids, it is valuable to heart patients with angina, cardiomyopathy and heart rhythm disorders.  I use it when I want to help lower triglycerides or raise the HDL cholesterol, and I use 500-1500 mg daily."  DANDR p184
Twinlab L-Glutamine Capsules, 500mg 50 ea $5.59 Twinlab L-Glutamine Capsules, 500mg 50 ea
"If you have sugar cravings, you must include L-Glutamine 500-1000 mg before each meal."  DANDR p.101
Twinlab Pantothenic Acid Capsules, 250mg 100 ea $5.77 Twinlab Pantothenic Acid Capsules, 250mg 100 ea
"A derivative of pantothemc acid, the precursor of coenzyme A, pantethine plays a pivotal rol 'in cholesterol metabolism. Would be  the "drug of choice" in cholesterol control if it were a drug. I usually provide 900-1800 mg when the lipid picture is not favorable." DANDR p.183
Twinlab Ripped Fuel Metabolic Enhancer Capsules 60 ea $12.59 Twinlab Ripped Fuel Metabolic Enhancer Capsules 60 ea
Dr. Atkins does not discuss "stacking (aka the "ECA Stack")", the mixture of aspirin, caffeine and ephedrine.  Many low-carbers swear by it.  Others are more cautious.
