potassium chloride for horses

A medium size banana has about 422 mg you will need about 3-4 bananas! Now will that cause CONSTIPATION?

what is the difference between Potassium Chloride, Potassium Nitrate and Potassium Citrate?

The only thing that counts is the amount of actual (elemental) potassium you are ingesting. For instance we take 595mg tablets of potassium gluconate containing 99mg of elemental potassium. This means that if I am willing to take 20 of these cheap little pills a day to get my 2000mg (2g) of potassium that is just fine. I don’t need to buy relatively expensive potassium chloride. Is this true?

Hi there - I have the same question about the salt substitute becase I read that it needs to be approved by your dr before you use it. I have cirrhosis and have had to really watchh my salt. I'm going to do that on Feb 1st. I had ascites and I have trouble keeping the fluid down in my legs from the calf down and I know there is still some fluid in the abdomen but I don't look pregnant anymore. Back to the salt substitute.

I already have connective tissue spasticity issues and now am getting charlie horses. I woke up with one in my calf a few days ago that was so tight I broke out into a sweat. Last night I had one in my behind muscle and today my thigh. Can this be the chiari too?

Transfer was postponed till I get better. Doctor gave me Lasix 40 mg to be taken once and Neo-K (potassium chloride) 500 mg twice daily for 5 days for now. My concern is that I ate two potatoes, one banana, a cup of yogurt, and tomato, all potassium sources today.

At night when I stretch or randomly I will get the worst leg cramps where I cry and it won't go away for like 15 seconds. Any one else have this problem, any splutions? I try to rub my leg better, but sometimes it doesn't work. Last pregnancy it happened as well, and I tried walking but that didn't go so well either.

Doesn't matter if you're taking your prenatals and drinking juice, you can still get them if you're low on potassium and such. Try eating foods with more potassium and drinking more water.

Ok ladies please tell me what you have done for charlie horses. It last about three days!!

Does anybody know why I get Charlie horses in my calf when I'm sleeping? Its only happened a few times but boy does it hurt!

Dash and Morton Salt Substitute (for example) which is loaded with Potassium Chloride. If you take the time to read the ingredients on ANY Ms. Dash flavors, you'll find nothing but herbs and spices, there's absolutely NO potassium chloride in it.

I've been told I should increase my electrolyte intake. I've done so but am still having problems. I'm wondering if it's because of the type of electrolytes I've been using, mainly potassium citrate and magnesium citrate. I'm mainly interested in the best electrolytes for neural and brain health and was wondering if someone could suggest me some. I'm kind of interested in magnesium chloride.

Last night I kept waking up with a charlie horse more then once in both legs n now my legs are really really sore. What can I do to stop these damn Charlie horses?

she also got blood work done for signs of fatigue (showed up months before this incident) and her chloride and potassium levels were well above healthy. could this contribute to her period being late? please let me know, thanks.

That's a sign of low potassium...bananas and kiwi are some good sources of potassium.

Hello, I'm 17 weeks pregnant and this last week I have had more Charlie horses then ever. Like 5-6 in the last week, at night? Any suggestions as to what's causing these?

Too much potassium can be bad for anybody...they actually use potassium chloride in HIGH concentration for lethal injection. They use the same thing in IV's in low doses to keep people hydrated in the hospital. Too much of anything can be bad. I think it would be VERY difficult to bring yourself to the point where you had too much potassium.

It's a sign of potassium deficiency. Take extra potassium or each foods high in potassium, like bananas, sweet potatoes, tomato sauces, etc. You can google a complete list.

Get Ur potassium checked...I had real bad charlie horses in my legs and then found out my potassium was almost critically low...you might have to take a potassium supplement...bananas help too!

m wondering if you can or can not use something like Lo Salt that has potassium chloride in it along with beta blockers, and if so how much is recommended. I'm looking to substitute lo salt for some other high in potassium foods in order to cut down on my sugar content.

Banana. Ur lack of potassium.

I'm 34weeks 0days today and for some strange reason I keep waking up with very painful Charlie horses! Anyone knows why? It slips my mind every time I go to the doctor and I forget to ask her. Thanks.

Stay hydrated, eat bananas(the potassium in them will help) drink milk and move around often. I noticed when I skip my evening walk, I get those leg cramps. I'm sure a massage on your legs wouldn't hurt either!
