These are the two supplements I take that I've found work best for reducing cramps (Amazon Japan links, below):

Potassium (Citrate) https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B000BTA4DI/

Magnesium https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B00E3S51HM/

 

Be careful, and properly check the label, when taking off-the-shelf Magnesium supplements bought here in Japan, as it tends to be mixed with calcium (in supplemental form), which could lead to some hearth/arrhythmia issues. At one stage I was getting regular, scary heart palpitations before I switched to straight chelated magnesium / magnesium citrate.
Regarding these heart palpitations, they basically never came back when I stopped / lowered my calcium supplementation and started taking vitamin K2 (which supposedly helps with calcium absorption, mitigate build up in blood [or something like that]). By the way, the best food source for K2 is, wait for it, Japanese Natto! Hahah. Or take it in supplemental form, found here:

Vitam K2 (MK7) https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B00O4BQIQQ/

 

If you're eager to just try electrolyte supplements, you can find low sugar "Ion Drink" powders pretty easily at chemists. Be sure to check the labels to properly understand what exact minerals they contain.

The only real way to know is to test as you can't feel it and it's easy to miss when you might be getting carbs from hidden or unknown food and drink). For the first month or two you can use ketone test strips to test for ketones in the urine. Because the body is not yet well adapted to burning ketones they spill out of the body. I used Perfect Keto strips but there are other brands that likely work just as well. Just search Amazon for keto strips, and your local drug store or pharmacy might have them as well.

As the body becomes more efficient at burning ketones for fuel you may want to switch to measuring or deriving levels in the blood. I currently use a breath ketone meter (this one: Ketone Meter, Professional... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QPYP9JK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share ) which seems to work well in the past 2-3 weeks of using it.

If you are just starting also join /r/keto and take a look at the sidebar which has lots of great information.

I get my almond flour on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B003VD2QSW/ They have coconut four too, but I haven't bought that yet.
