Overdoing Potassium could be lethal.

Sure, Bonnie, but I just use " no-salt " . How many caps equals 2 grams of

potassium?

Duncan:

I just wasn't sure if GLUCONATE was the correct form to use. Is it?

The capsule is 1,000 mg providing 167 mg. Elemental Potassium.

So there is a limit to the amount of Potassium we use and would that be

2,000 mg?

Thanks,

Bonnie

So could water kill ya, MM, or toast and tea When people look up the LD50 for

potassium in humans they'd see that in grams per kilo of bodyweight. We're not

even in the ballpark using No-Salt.

Bonnie, when you gooogle the subject you'll see that a lot of high-end health

people suggest a 5-10 gram shortfall of potassium is about average in North

America. By now most of us are already on a somewhat better diet, but you'll

have to figure it out for yourself, and a couple of grams might be a good and

safe start, that's all. Your pills are low but I note pharmaceutical sodium

supplements are pathetically small too.

Gluconate is bioavailable.

all good,

Duncan

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, can you just tell me what is the proper dosage of

Potassium so I DON'T accidentally kill myself???

Bonnie

going crazy because I overdosed on Pregnenolone cream.

Okay, thanks, so you're saying that Gluconate is okay and that maybe 2 grams

would be safe for an old lady. LOL

Hi Bonnie, if the label on your potassium gluconate, 1000 mg elemental

potassium, says two pills a day is good, take two. I would take three but my

biology and diet is quite different. 90% of the potassium is in your tissues so

a couple of grams will not upset the balance and may not even address the

shortfall adequately, but it's better than you had

The LD50 means a 50:50 chance of dying from eating 180 grams, about 6 1/2 OUNCES

of potassium (chloride in that case). A whole shaker or two bottles!! Not

that anyone could gag down all that chemical but if it really concerns MM as

much as her objections indicate, it probably concerns at least one other person

on the list and maybe we can alleviate all their fears about potassium

supplements at the same time. Again, many health pros suggest 5-10 grams daily

if you look it up, about 1/20 of the " danger zone " .

all good,

Duncan
