Potassium powder

[๕ඞChick3ncu1ry]

I bought Potassium chloride powder online it is recommended to take 2500mg of which 800mg is pure potassium per serving.

But does it sound logical to take 10 000mg of potassium chloride daily??? Wouldn't I die from Hyperkalemia or soemthing??

iirc their is a limit to how much potassium your kidneys can handle when supplementing it, I think it was 500mg per hour, and max 1500mg a day from supplements. More better to focus on reducing things that block potassium channels i.e. vitamin A.

Is there a study I can read

1500mg max per day??? then why it's recommended

don't you need like 4 times more potassium than sodium?

That limit is for when supplementing potassium. Otherwise daily potassium intake from all sources should be around 4000-5000mg.

I have been taking 6grams (3128mgs) of potasium chloride a day for the last month with no issues you should be fine.

You should be fine taking 10grams if thats what you want..

No.

Avocado has 900mg of potassium so just have few of them every day legit?

No.

For real Can you take a pic of your potassium bottle just to be sure you are not trying to kill me

update:

This article claims that the upper limit is 18g of K per day so 10g should be fine for me I hope. So I can strategically getting 1600mg in the morning and the same amount at night = total in 3200mg without compromising the risk of developing Hyperkalemia since the kidney can filter up to 1500mg K per hour.

I just measure out 6gs and then pour it in a glass and mix in 8oz of water and down it.

I wouldnt be too concerned with the amount your body can filter, you should be fine tbh just taking it all at once.

Are you taking it for debloating reasons?
If yes, does it work as you wanted it to?

 

[IronMike]

I take potassium gluconate which gives 550 mgs, I take 2 a morning

Yep It works for me.

Nice. Any side effects? Stomach aches? Peeing more often? Low blood pressure?

He is lying I take pottassium citrate it bloated me more and goves me heart palpation

 

[Cristiano88]

He is lying I take pottassium citrate it bloated me more and goves me heart palpation

I am sorry. I don't know if he is lying tho. Citrate is different than chloride. I took citrate and it did nothing for me. I took tartar cream and it worked very well but i can't find it anymore.

What dosage where you taking, also citrate is very different from chlorine.

 

[ChristianChad]

you could get a heart attack

I just read it online again it claimed that citrate is for kidney stone

After taking it I have a slightly elevated heart rate thats about it.

Stomach aches? Peeing more often? Low blood pressure?

Slight stomach aches I didnt experience but if you take it undiluted or at too high concentration you will really fuck up your stomach (Will burn a hole in it) so just make sure you are diluting correctly and you will be fine.

I dont track my peeing so I have no idea maybe not really sure tbh.

I havent noticed a difference in my blood pressure.

Hyperkalemia and heart arrhythmia haha gotta be careful

"LD 50 (lethal median dose) of orally ingested potassium chloride as approximately 2.5 g/kg"
Dont think anyone here is going to consume enough to kill them?

You will burn a hole through your stomach before you can consume enough potassium chloride. (Probably put you in hospital doubt you will die from it (Actually you might but It will probably stop you consuming it as you will be in alot of pain))

i would assume much less could fuck you up because of electrolytes

Yeah probably, perhaps I will look into it later as Im just about to go out to gym, but tbh as long as you are realistic with your dosage and dont take more than like 5g-7g diluted fully you will probably be fine. I'll have to look into the electrolytes tho as I have never really concerned myself with them.

Cite the source please

For what the 2.5g/kg?

Just google KCI toxicity. Im sat in bed on phone so cba to link anything (I'll check history on pc in morning and link report). I think on average it varies from study to study but 0.5-5g per kg is considered bad. I think the 2.5g was done with rats or rabbits cant remember what toxicology report I read I'll link in the morning.

You should not even be close to a dosage that high (I take 0.1g/per kilo myself and even then thats quite a high dosage(If not spaced out)).

Could you elaborate on the electrolytes?
