Keto Flu Symptoms and How to Avoid Them

By Momburn Research Team · Reviewed by Dr. Jennifer Alvarez, M.D. · Updated June 2026

Anyone reducing carbohydrates or exploring ketosis-adjacent approaches has likely heard of the "keto flu." Here's what it is, and how Momburn's electrolyte component relates.

What Is Keto Flu?

Keto flu refers to a cluster of symptoms — fatigue, headache, irritability, muscle cramps — that some people experience when significantly reducing carbohydrate intake.

Why It Happens

Reducing carbs also reduces water retention, which flushes out electrolytes like sodium, magnesium, and potassium faster than usual.

The Electrolyte Connection

Replenishing these minerals is commonly associated with reducing keto flu symptoms.

How Momburn Addresses This

Momburn includes Calcium, Magnesium, and Sodium specifically to help address this electrolyte loss — see our electrolytes guide and the current Momburn discount on the Momburn official website.
