I was telling a friend and he said he used to have problems also and started taking 99mg potassuim citrate capsules.. I did a little research and read that it might help for calcium stones.. the capsules are cheap OTC and I've been taking 4 every morning now for about 2 yrs ... I just recently had a xray done when seeing Dr Dersch and am stone free still

I find it interesting that the latest recommended daily amount of potassium is 4,700 mg, but most supplement tablets only contain 99 mg. I think it is almost impossible for a person to get 4,700 mg per day from food. This seems very strange to me. Does anyone know why?
