Potassium in pill form is only sold in very small doses, correct? How do you reach the high daily minimum?



I don't know what the daily values are to be honest. I just take it until my symptoms, mostly cramping, go away and stick with that dosage. I basically eat broccoli or brussels sprouts with dinner every day. They both seem to have a decent amount of potassium.


I buy potassium bicarbonate from Amazon in bulk -- ten bucks a pound. Winemakers use it to reduce acidity in their product, but it's easy enough to mix half a tsp in water twice a day. Lot of research on bicarb, too, so useful outside of keto issues.
