And if you’re gonna suggest a fruit, there’s plenty that have more than bananas. Blue pulled answer is to suggest bananas.

And yes let me just get 4000-8000mg of potassium from fruit.

Just eat potatoes. Only 16 oz provides 1600 mgs of potassium. 2 of those a day on top of other food and youre good

Most people are deficient.

Use lite salt you season food with it and it has equal levels potassium chloride and sodium chloride I believe. Tastes exactly like regular salt. Fuck people saying just eat a shit ton of potatoes or fruit, doing that everyday will get old quick

Do you track with Cronometer? I would recommend potassium chloride

Chloride and/or gluconate.

Can also apply potassium chloride topically -- Easier way to raise potassium levels.

How much mg daily

Just get at least 4 g of total potassium and make sure its 4x what your sodium is

Do you take it in morning or night?

I’ll take 8 500mg pills tomorrow

It super easy to OD, they literally use it as a lethal injection for prisoners, but I take it throughout the day just to balance my current sodium level

I have bren supplementing with Cream of Tartar for now. Unfortunately, it has only 20% of pottasium as opposed to Potassium chloride which has 50% of potassium.


Btw I have supplemented Potassium Citrate for months that shit didn’t do anything for me.
