Horrors! And what does a naturopath or chiropractor know that a large number of researchers don’t know?

They know how to upsell supplements that aren't even USP tested or certified. They're really good at making that profit off the sales.

Most people can get all the potassium that they need from foods, healthy foods. Only a few would need supplements. |

I quickly disregard anything written in the same paragraph as COVID..............JABS. To me, JABS are what professional boxers due to set up an opponent.

1/2 cup of DRIED apricots will give you 1160 mg of potassium. Get a big bag at BJ.

The FDA raised it from 3400 to 4700, which is the current recommendation.

You might want to Google this before taking extra. Some high blood medication actually prevents potassium passing out your urine which can result in a high potassium level in your body.

Patently false. Most Americans do not eat a properly balanced diet. Maybe you potentially could get enough potassium from foods, but most people won't/don't. |

More than bananas
To increase your intake, incorporate a few potassium-rich foods into your diet such as spinach, yams, avocados, bananas, and fish, such as salmon.

If you are concerned, find a nutritionist. If you can't find one then go with a holistic practitioner with some education in nutrition. Absolute Health in Ocala has a nutritionist on staff. I took an intra cellular blood test which tells you the nutritions your cells are absorbing compared to what's floating in your blood. It was one of the most helpful tests I ever took. Many doctor's don't know what it is. Absolute Health ordered mine. Last, I start with a high quality multi vitamin-mineral supplement. One a Day is not that. Many vitamins can't be absorbed without the presence of other vitamin-minerals. An example is Vitamin D need K2. Again, go to a Vitamin store that says they do independent testing. I prefer not to recommend any brands. Often but not always, taking the right supplements for your body will make you feel better. As an example, after a car accident 30 years ago, I have disc damage and bad arthritis all through my spine. I take 4 supplements to help with inflammation and arthritis. I sleep better when I take potassium, calcium and magnesium before bed. I eat half a banana, drink 4 ounces of coconut water and take a supplement. Getting the right supplement balance for your body takes some research. Those requirements can also change over time. I continue to to seek out new info. I hope this helps. |

Thank you, guys, for all the great information on potassium. I never thought much about it until my sister-in-law became so weak 2 months ago that she was bed-ridden (she has various conditions). She was taken to the hospital and was given potassium infusion. Within 2 days she was ready to come home, quite chirpy, even managed to go for lunch at a near by restaurant. As far as I know it was the potassium.
