I was getting bad cramps after working out, magnesium helped but I think potassium played a big part. Here's a few foods I added. prunes, dried apricots, raisins, potatoes, banana, fish. Lately what has made the biggest change is eating a few oysters every morning. About 1-3, you can buy a can that'll last 4-5 days for maybe $3-4, just make sure the oysters are in water not oil.

[@heros0264]

Then again, a taurine sufficiency completely eliminates a potassium deficiency. That is because taurine homeostatically regulates optimal levels of electrolytes, sodium, iron, and other minerals. Like the fat-soluble vitamins, it's one of the main master regulators in the body.

Potassium Gluconate is the cheapest vitamin/mineral you can buy. Legally limited to 99mg. but I take a few.

The body is designed to survive. If the body discovers there's a lack of minerals, vitamines etc the body will down prioritize things like hormones and other mechanisms as it isnt as essential for surviving.

[@NutritionLibrary]

to an extent this is correct. However, the reason nutrient deficiencies eventually cause disease states is because these hormonal adaptations you speak of usually have a negative impact on the body long term.

There is no supplement regulation.

@@froesesp upon searching, I found this: "First, the FDA has ruled that some oral drug products that contain potassium chloride and provide more than 99 mg potassium are not safe because they have been associated with small-bowel lesions [19]. Second, the FDA requires some potassium salts containing more than 99 mg potassium per tablet to be labeled with a warning about the reports of small-bowel lesions [20,21]. In accordance with a ruling by Congress, the FDA may not limit the amount of any nutrient, including potassium, in a dietary supplement, except for safety-related reasons [22]. However, the FDA has not issued a ruling about whether dietary supplements containing more than 99 mg potassium must carry a warning label [21,23].
