Magnesium Aspartate and Potassium Aspartate per capsule — for licensed weight loss and metabolic health practices. Essential mineral replenishment for energy regulation, glucose metabolism, and insulin function.
Kato Plus delivers Magnesium and Potassium in aspartate form — one of the most bioavailable mineral delivery formats to address two of the most common nutrient deficiencies in patients following weight loss programs and low-carbohydrate diets. Magnesium is essential for glucose metabolism, insulin function, and energy production. Potassium supports fluid balance, nerve function, and cellular energy regulation. Despite their importance, research suggests up to 80% of Americans are magnesium deficient, and dieting, exercise programs, stress, caffeine, and alcohol all deplete these minerals faster than the average diet replaces them.

Magnesium is involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body — including virtually every step of glucose metabolism and energy production. It is required for insulin to function properly, for glucose to be taken up by cells, and for the breakdown of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates into usable energy. Without adequate magnesium, glucose cannot enter cells effectively, insulin resistance is worsened, and energy production becomes less efficient.
For weight loss patients specifically, magnesium deficiency creates a cycle that works against their goals: poor glucose uptake drives cravings, reduced energy makes activity harder, and impaired fat metabolism slows results. Many common weight loss behaviors — caloric restriction, increased exercise, reduced processed food intake — actually make magnesium deficiency worse because magnesium-rich foods are often also carbohydrate-dense, and exercise increases magnesium excretion.
Potassium is the primary intracellular mineral and is essential for fluid regulation, nerve transmission, muscle contraction, and cellular energy production. Low potassium is common in patients taking diuretics — including diuretic-effect supplements common in weight loss programs — and in patients following low-carbohydrate diets where glycogen depletion reduces the cellular potassium that glycogen normally holds.
Aspartate form: The aspartate salt form of both minerals is among the most bioavailable, meaning a higher percentage of what is swallowed actually reaches the tissues that need it compared to cheaper oxide or carbonate forms.
Medical weight loss practices: Kato Plus addresses the mineral depletion that weight loss programs accelerate — both through reduced food variety and increased exercise. Magnesium and potassium deficiency directly undermines the energy, metabolism, and insulin function that successful weight loss depends on. Including Kato Plus as a standard supplement in a weight loss protocol supports the metabolic environment that makes the program work.
GLP-1 and metabolic health practices: GLP-1 medications reduce food intake, which can reduce magnesium and potassium intake. Additionally, the rapid metabolic changes accompanying GLP-1-driven weight loss increase mineral turnover. Kato Plus supports mineral status in this patient population.
Low-carbohydrate and ketogenic program practices: Low-carb diets dramatically increase magnesium and potassium losses through increased urinary excretion as glycogen stores are depleted. Kato Plus is particularly relevant for practices running ketogenic or very low-carbohydrate weight loss protocols.
Functional and integrative medicine practices: Practices addressing root-cause metabolic dysfunction often identify magnesium deficiency as a contributing factor to insulin resistance, fatigue, poor sleep, and metabolic syndrome — all of which Kato Plus directly supports.
D.N.S. Caps — D.N.S. includes magnesium and potassium as part of its comprehensive formula, but at lower doses than Kato Plus. For patients where targeted mineral replenishment is the primary clinical focus — particularly those on low-carb diets or diuretics — Kato Plus provides focused, higher-dose mineral support. Product sheets identify D.N.S. and ACR2x as natural Kato Plus pairings.
Lipo BC Tabs — B-vitamin fat metabolism support alongside Kato Plus’s mineral foundation. Weight loss programs deplete both B vitamins and minerals — addressing both simultaneously provides comprehensive nutritional support.
Stress & Adrenal Support Caps — Chronic stress depletes magnesium through increased urinary excretion. For patients where stress is a driver of magnesium deficiency, combining mineral replenishment with adaptogenic adrenal support addresses both the depletion and its cause.
ChromeMate Caps — Chromium for insulin sensitivity alongside Kato Plus’s magnesium-supported glucose metabolism. Together they address the two most clinically relevant minerals for insulin function and carbohydrate metabolism.
Kidney disease: Potassium is renally cleared. Patients with significant kidney impairment may have reduced ability to excrete potassium and should not use Kato Plus without physician supervision and monitoring.
Potassium-sparing medications: Patients on ACE inhibitors, ARBs, or potassium-sparing diuretics already have elevated potassium retention. Adding supplemental potassium requires physician oversight and monitoring.
Magnesium and antibiotics: Magnesium can reduce the absorption of some antibiotics (particularly fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines) when taken simultaneously. Separate doses by at least 2 hours.
Laxative effect at high doses: High doses of magnesium can have a laxative effect. At the dose in Kato Plus, this is rarely an issue, but patients with sensitive GI systems should start with one capsule and increase as tolerated.

Why is magnesium particularly important for weight loss patients?
Magnesium is required for insulin to work properly and for cells to take up glucose for energy. Without adequate magnesium, insulin resistance worsens, energy production becomes less efficient, and cravings increase. At the same time, the behaviors associated with weight loss — caloric restriction, exercise, reducing processed foods — tend to worsen magnesium deficiency because magnesium-rich foods are often carbohydrate-dense foods being eliminated from the diet.
What is the advantage of aspartate form over cheaper magnesium and potassium forms?
Magnesium oxide — the cheapest and most common form in supplements — has very poor absorption, with studies showing only 4% bioavailability in some conditions. Magnesium aspartate and potassium aspartate are significantly better absorbed, meaning a higher percentage of what is taken actually reaches the tissues that need it. Better absorption means better clinical results at equivalent doses.
Can Kato Plus be used by patients on GLP-1 medications?
Yes. GLP-1 therapy reduces food intake, which can reduce magnesium and potassium intake alongside other nutrients. The metabolic activity accompanying GLP-1-driven weight loss also increases mineral turnover. Kato Plus provides targeted replenishment of the two minerals most commonly depleted in this patient population.
Is private label available?
Yes. Contact our team to discuss private label options, minimum quantities, and label customization for your practice.
