Magnesium Aspartate and Potassium Aspartate in a highly bioavailable chelated form to support muscle function, energy production, and electrolyte balance. Commonly used alongside weight management programs that include increased physical activity.
Kato Plus provides Magnesium Aspartate and Potassium Aspartate — two essential minerals in their chelated aspartate form, which supports significantly better absorption than standard mineral salts. Magnesium and Potassium are the two most commonly depleted minerals during weight loss programs, calorie restriction, increased exercise, and diuretic use. Kato Plus addresses both simultaneously in a single daily capsule.
Each capsule contains:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Magnesium Aspartate | 33 mg |
| Potassium Aspartate | 93 mg |
Suggested use: One capsule per meal daily, or as directed by the ordering provider.
Why aspartate form? The aspartate chelate binds the mineral to aspartic acid, an amino acid involved in the Krebs cycle. This improves absorption and cellular delivery compared to inorganic mineral forms like magnesium oxide or potassium chloride — a meaningful difference for patients who need to replenish these minerals efficiently during active weight management.
Muscle function and cramping: Magnesium and Potassium are both required for normal muscle contraction and relaxation. Deficiency in either — common during calorie-restricted diets and increased physical activity — is a primary driver of muscle cramps, spasms, and poor exercise recovery. Kato Plus addresses both minerals in the same capsule.
Energy production: Magnesium is a required cofactor in ATP synthesis — every step of cellular energy production from glucose involves magnesium-dependent enzymatic reactions. Patients on calorie-restricted programs or those exercising more frequently have higher magnesium demands that diet alone often can’t meet.
Electrolyte balance: Potassium regulates fluid balance, nerve transmission, and cardiac muscle function. Patients using diuretics, following low-carb diets, or sweating heavily during exercise lose potassium faster than a standard diet replaces it. Kato Plus provides targeted potassium repletion alongside magnesium in a single supplement.
Magnesium and glucose metabolism: Magnesium plays a direct role in insulin function and glucose uptake. Many magnesium-rich foods are also higher in carbohydrates, making it harder to maintain adequate magnesium on calorie-restricted or low-carb weight management programs — a gap Kato Plus is specifically positioned to address.
Research support: A study found that potassium magnesium aspartate increased capacity for prolonged exercise by approximately 50% in healthy young men (Ahlborg, Ekelund, & Nilsson, 1968).
CAL-MAG — For practices wanting broader mineral coverage. Cal-Mag covers Calcium and Magnesium for bone and muscle support; Kato Plus adds Potassium Aspartate for electrolyte balance and exercise performance. Together they cover the three primary minerals most commonly depleted in active weight management patients.
D.N.S. (Doctor’s Nutritional Support) — D.N.S. includes Magnesium and several B-vitamins in its comprehensive formula. For patients with higher electrolyte demands, adding Kato Plus provides targeted Potassium Aspartate support that D.N.S.’s lower Potassium dose may not fully address.
What is the suggested use for Kato Plus?
One capsule per meal daily, or as directed by the ordering provider.
Why is the aspartate form used instead of standard magnesium and potassium supplements?
The aspartate chelate binds each mineral to aspartic acid, an amino acid involved in the Krebs cycle. This improves bioavailability and cellular uptake compared to inorganic forms like magnesium oxide or potassium chloride — a meaningful difference for patients who need to replenish these minerals efficiently during active weight management programs.
Which patients benefit most from Kato Plus?
Patients on calorie-restricted diets with increased physical activity, patients using diuretics, patients following low-carb protocols, and patients under high chronic stress — all situations that accelerate depletion of both magnesium and potassium.
