2:05 A couple more things you should know about potassium
3:07 The right sodium and potassium ratio
4:14 Summary
The first thing you should know is that you will rarely if ever, have a problem with potassium if you get it from fresh food-even at 10 cups of vegetables per day. However, there are a few exceptions, including if you:
• Have stage 5 kidney disease
• Take an ace inhibitor
• Take a beta-blocker
• Use potassium-sparing diabetics
• Have Addison's disease
• Have hyperkalemia
Now let's talk about extreme doses of potassium. When you have between 8,000 and 10,000 mg of potassium, you may begin to feel nauseous. If you are already low on potassium and you take something like 14,000 mg of potassium, this could be very dangerous. Keep in mind that potassium doesn't store in the body. If you do prolonged fasting, you can deplete your potassium quickly. To prevent this, I recommend electrolyte fasting, which is including electrolytes in your fast.
If you already are deficient in potassium, vitamin B1 can exaggerate the symptoms. I also recommend that you keep your sodium and potassium levels balanced. If you consume a lot of potassium without any sodium, that's going to be a problem. The same problem happens if you have a lot of sodium and no potassium. You need four times as much potassium as sodium, so make your you have sodium and potassium in a 1 to 4 ratio.
In summary, the average healthy person would have to take a tremendous amount of potassium to develop a problem of high potassium levels in the blood. If you have 1,000-4,000 mg of potassium a day, you're not going to have a problem.

[@lynnharrell9598]

Dr. Berg, will you please explain the differences, benefits and or dangers of potassium citrate, potassium chloride, and potassium bitartrate?

[@bushpig6837]

Potassium chloride can and will elevate Potassium levels in the blood, so could be dangerous. Potassium citrate is the same form that's in food so is just "available" for the blood to uptake enough Potassium to reach optimal levels. I don't know about Potassium bitcarb. Best solution would be to supplement with Potassium citrate powder, you can add to morning water, increase gradually as it can upset the stomach until you're used to it. Once Potassium levels are optional then just salt your food to taste as having optional Potassium levels gives you a bigger margins for error with sodium. I do this, it has been a game changer for me.

[@Crazeefish313]

[@avinashjagdeo]

I get some of my potassium from a lemonade I make by adding sea salt and low-sodium salt (potassium). I drank it once and got a headache a couple hours later that wouldn't go away. Took my blood pressure and learned that it was lower than normal. Gave it some thought and remembered that I had donated blood just a couple days before. Bit of an unusual circumstance but I think it's worth pointing out that potassium can lower blood pressure. That's good for a lot of people but if you have normal to low blood pressure or have recently given blood you might wanna go easy on the potassium supplements and see how you feel before you take a fair amount. Just a suggestion.

[@profound369]

Then you would just need to take more salt

[@jensenchan1125]

Dr. Berg would you ever recommend adding cream of tartar (potassium bitartrate) into your smoothie as a quick hit of potassium, especially for those who just started out on this being severely deficient in potassium? What downsides would there be using this as a booster of potassium intake in addition to the 7-10 cups of veggies you recommend?

This was very useful! I do fast and eat whole healthy foods. I am an older, small woman and I find it hard to eat the large portion of veg that you recommend, and I worry that perhaps my vitamin/mineral intake is not enough.

[@amayastrata4629]

Justme I buy potassium citrate in powder form. A 1/4 of a teaspoon = 1,000mg. Or LoSalt is cheaper and the same. You can add to your food, or I add a 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon in my apple cider vinegar drink and add a slice of lemon. That amount then allows for potassium to be consumed in food.

[@Growstuff70]

Amaya Strata - thank you!

I’m a small eater too. For this group, we need to, I do, eat as many times as I feel I’m packing in the nutrients from as much greens as possible (soups with greens, drinks with greens , stirfry veggies, ), snacking on baked low salt nuts (groundnuts, almonds, pistachio, cashews) , I try to get as much potassium/magnesium as possible from real foods. Even if I don’t get the min 7 cups , I think I’m doing pretty well.

Dr Berg, I am a Complex Case, inhaling Potassium from Two 11' diameter Recovery Boiler Stacks, i was the 13th on the Air Emissions Project to have a Cardiac event! A year later my serum Potassium was still high, and the ER Physician stated, lot's of you on that Project have high blood potassium! We we're inhaling Aldehyde the hsngover component of legal drinking alcohol which depletes B1, Thiamine resulting in all the damage of a hardcore alcoholic, including the tingling in the toes and fingers! I had become Salt Sensitive, but Thanks to your advice I upped my consumption of high potassium foods and the salt sensitivity has waned! It was scarry to do that because of the large number of tradesman involved! My cramping issue's have also decreased, being so bad in the past that I had to carry magnesium on my person!

It took awhile but i learned the importance of electrolytes while intermittent fasting. In tracking my food intake with an app and even with healthier eating, i find the sodium is usually always higher than the potassium when it should be reversed. It seems deliberate in our food supply to not have these levels more balanced.

On my 36 hrs. fast i just did water, coffee and salt, I know, that was pretty short but it trained me mentally and I did pretty good but now knowing the Na-K ratio I would like to implement it. This will be my second time doing it for three days. I think it’s fantastic to boost and reset your GI and more. I would like to hear from you when you finish your 3 day fast. Wish you the best👍

[@Acein3055]

I consume about 1800 mg of potassium citrate powder as a supplement everyday. I makeup 100 vege '0' capsules at one time with a manual capsule filling machine. Each capsule holds a 1/4 tsp which has 448 mg of potassium which is 10% of the RDA. When I was starting my potassium supplement search, I bought a bottle of potassium chloride and found out immediately that it was way too salty to use as a supplement. LoSalt is an example of potassium chloride, a salt substitute which I don't use because I do not want to eliminate sea salt seasoning (sodium) from my diet. Sodium is just as important as potassium but I use the two like at 3:00.

It taste great and I feel great too. I hope I'm doing the right thing because I feel great and seems to make me feel better then just drinking the ASV with plain water.
