Unless someone is on a high protein, low carb diet, potassium is one of the easiest minerals to get in your diet. Conversely, too much potassium is extremely bad for you. Potassium is so bad that if you are even able to find a potassium supplement you will find that each pill is only about 1% of the daily suggested intake (they are scared of overdoses).

Here’s the thing people don’t realize; magnesium makes 350 other nutrients, aminos, hormones, etc., sync with your system. So...you can appear to be low in potassium, Vit. D, calcium, on and on but you’re really deficient in mag.

Mag binds to 13 substances, some of which are not absorbably, and some of which are. The best forms are glycinate, taureate (sp), malate. Once you get on a good does of the right kind of mag, your mind will be blown on all the weird little things you could be struggling with.

I can spew a list of them but familar things are restless leg, frequent urination, plaque on arteries, asthma, kidney stones, depression, body pain....

I don’t know if I am “high protein” but definitely very low carb/keto, where I try to stay under 20g of carbs. I’ve heard some taking ZMA to help with that, I’ve considered it myself but haven’t gotten around to it.

Darn right they are scared of overdose. My cousin was recently admitted to the hospital because he was having problems with too much potassium in his system.

The doctor informed him that potassium solutions are one of the elements of lethal injections! Helps stop your heart...
