How to Know if You are Low Potassium / How much Potassium Should you Take? 

This is right. Dr. Berg has great advice.

@@LovelessHealthSolutions Thank You for this. I’ve noticed for the last few days, I’ve had lower lip twitching. It twitches in a certain spot all throughout the day. I’ve been trying to research to see what could be causing the twitching, and I read it could be caused by many things such as drinking too much coffee (which I do), potassium deficiency, stress, etc.

@@crystalgrose Yes potassium and magnesium both likely causes.

When I went first time to ER with my symptoms (not really emergency but I felt my own doctor was failing me) first thing they did was bloodtesting my electrolytes. They were all in range so they dismissed me. They couldnt catch my arrhytmia on the 3 ecg they took, but put me on the waitinglist for a 24h heart monitor. Up until today they havent called me, its already 8 months later. They dont take me serious, and I wonder how many people do actualy die for being unable to be diagnose low potassium??? I have lived with the fear to die for over 2 years, when I feel a fatigue coming up I really face death in the eye it is so scary, I literally have been on the edge. I now eat extra potassium rich food and take magnesium alongside quality electrolyte mix, and I feel much better. Still had such fatigue attack last night but the fear to die isnt attached anymore.

Thank you

Intersting. What other advice you got pal

I've been doing my research on this lately because I don't feel quite right. My ears ring, my toes cramp at night, when I get stressed my heart palpitates randomly, I've been having dry mouth and throat. I've been taking high does of vitamin D that my doc prescribed since i live in alaska and a woman my D levels were low. From what I've read, taking once a week high doses of D can deplete your magnesium levels. I also have issues with my tongue which is also a sign of low potassium. So I think my magnesium is low and isn't absorbing potassium like it should. Plus I haven't been eating like I should. I'm going in this week to get my levels checked.

@@strongmomma4u have you tryed tudca

@@strongmomma4u everyone should be taking magnesium daily then on your evening meal a little bit of potassium a couple times a week and it will likely fix your issues. If not test your folate. My folate was low and after trying folic acid found out folic acid is problematic. My levels went extreme high, tried every other day still really high. Read up on MTHFR gene resorted to methylfolate which is a more bio available vit B9 and it fixed my issue.

True story. That's why I recommend it regardless of blood work. Thank you. Great share.

1,000 seems a lot.

Which is crazy, because I’m a PRE med currently learning about resting membrane potential and the sodium-potassium pump!

Hi I am having quite similar issues. I am thinking maybe to create a group of us having similar problems, to offer each other support and help us fix it. Would you be interested?

Who told you potassium was a dangerous supplement?

Great share. Thank you.

They limit the Potassium pill quantity because it can be unsafe for persons with kidney disease

Amount is so low because it can be dangerous to supplement potassium, you really need advise from a knowledgable doctor if you want to take higher doses as it can be lethal in some cases. Dont take high doses all out of the blue, build it up carefuly to not shock your kidneys. Potassium is the key to your heart beating or not.

@@AnnaMaria-zm8cv it is not dangerous to supplement with potassium. It’s actually necessary as everyone is deficient. It can be dangerous to some individuals who have kidney conditions who cannot eliminate excess potassium. This can lead to hyperkemia which is potentially deadly. But for the average person they absolutely should supplement potassium.

I've found 1000mg is good to see results for most.

​@@LovelessHealthSolutionsthat's not even close to the RDA

Could be a lot of things. B1 deficiency will do that too.

Could be a Myriad of things. How about start with getting your eyes checked first silly! Or blood pressure.

Yes

It could be

I have same issue, I lowered my D intake and build it up and left the K out for a bit as I get plenty of it in my diet. Im just trying to up my diet on more potassium rich foods and supplement and see where that goes. I have good and bad days, but I know taking electrolytes helps very well on those. Better than just potassium supplements.

Take potassium and make sure your workouts aren't over stressing you. At a minimum try to get atleast 200 minutes of walking in a week.

@@LovelessHealthSolutions Noted. Much appreciated. Thank you.

Go with designs for health potassium

I'm not sure what the pop is. Bit try increasing potassium and see what happens.

Try the company Trace Minerals.

Your doctor and write a script I rember my mom she would have to get some from her doc

Prescribed potassium citrate it is suggested to not stop ubruptly without talking to doctor. Can make condition worse.

Best would potassium RBC test.

I would suggest any that can be found here: us.fullscript.com/protocols/wloveless-psoriasis-course-supplement-plan

Exactly

They both immune issue steaming from. And underlying cause and are come to see happening together.

​@@LovelessHealthSolutionsI guess you didn't read your own post, because the grammar is horrendous 😞

Potassium. And get estrogen checked. Try passion flower, DIM, and Shisandra to properly detox estrogens

Certain meds and spicy food before bed cause me to wake up in a pool of sweat. Now I only take nattokinase, k2 and magnesium before bed and no more night sweats.

Designs for health is a good brand

they dont have any potassium supplement with 1gm of serving.@@LovelessHealthSolutions

Actually it's both. Too much or too little. Too much is rare.

If your kidneys work fine you wil not likely have too much potassium. They work very very well to regulate it since potassium is such a precise level and too much or too low is either way very potentialy lethal.

Coffee is very low in potassium, maybe 2% of daily value per cup, and it is a diuretic so it makes you pee more and therefore lose more minerals than you would otherwise

Caffeine depletes will deplete the body in minerals over time

@@yungwildcxrd7935 thanks this helps

@@LovelessHealthSolutions what do you recommend for one too do to avoid getting minerals depleted from drinking coffee? I don't drink it every day, at least 4 to 5 times a week and it's not that strong. No sugar or sweetener, I add creamer to bring down the strength and it's diluted with water. I'm starting to even drink decaf and max I'll do is 3 cups, mostly 1 or 2 cups maybe. Thanks
