It also seems to make clear that the type of potassium salt you are taking (chloride, citrate, gluconate, acetate, bicarbonate, etc) does not matter. 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.
Recently, I tried a potassium gluconate supplement. I experienced rapid and dramatic reduction in all of my symptoms. This effect has been repeatable for 2 months. If I stop the supplementation, the symptoms return within a day.
Severe, chronic symptoms improved:
• Asthma and respiratory issues.
• Nasal congestion.
• Constipation.
• Headaches.
• Muscle cramping, weakness and pain.
• Insomnia.
• Palpitations.
I’ve also suffered from unexplained osteoporosis since my twenties.
Milk is high in calcium but deficient in magnesium. Like potassium, magnesium and calcium are electrolytes, all of which must be in proper balance for the body to function properly. Dairy is also very hard for most humans to utilize, as most of us lack the enzyme to digest it or are intolerant of it or are allergic to it. Have you though of seeing a holistic nutritionist?
I am 61 years old, have a family history of severe heart disease, but I have a very healthy diet and have lived longer than two of my siblings (one died at 45 and the other one at 54,) and the remaining one has had a tripple bi-pass.
I do have some blockage 40% in one and 20% in another artery. Something I read at the Dr. office this week is leg cramps can be the beginning stages of PAD.
As a matter of fact, just last year, I had a blood test that showed that I have a slightly high level of blood calcium and was informed by my doctor to not take calcium supplements (That may be why it didn't help me. I already had high levels of calcium).
Now, before I decide to take nutritional supplement/s, I think it is a good idea to first have a blood test to make sure I am indeed deficient in that nutrient. It is a good idea to supplement nutrient/s we may be deficiant in.
In physiology, the primary ions of electrolytes are sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), chloride (Cl−), hydrogen phosphate (HPO42−), and hydrogen carbonate (HCO3−). The electric charge symbols of plus (+) and minus (−) indicate that the substance in question is ionic in nature and has an imbalanced distribution of electrons, the result of chemical dissociation".
It potassium is elevated it can cause muscle fatigue. Potassium and Calcium and important electrolytes in muscles. Potassium is one of those electrolytes you dont really want to be messed up in your body. High potassium levels can cause heart dysrrhythmias, since your heart is a big muscle, Other signs of hyperkalemia(increased potassium) are nausea vomitting, restlessness, irritability, I am looking in my book right now to make sure i can give you the most accurate information.
Did your doctor tell you to take supplements to keep your levels up and/or eat foods that are rich in calcium, magnesium and potassium in order to avoid deficiency again? These are electrolytes and must be kept in balance with other electrolytes - sodium and chloride.
Many of us have to take magnesium supplements to prevent symptoms of deficiency. Magnesium citrate seems to be the best type to take, as magnesium oxide is mostly good as a laxative.
What about Echinacea, Chromium Polynicotinate, Selenium, Calcium (which one), Taurine, and Potassium Gluconate? I pulled these vitamin/supplement names off of a patient's chart from another mood tracking website. Would these vitamins/supplements that I listed help me, or have bad side effects?
Thanks!
the closing and relaxing of a muscle is dependent on the four mineral horseman of function, calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K). Sodium constricts and potassium relaxes, with Ca and Mg initiating each phase of the action. If an individual is low in potassium, it appears that that singular event of low potassium can be sufficient to permit a cramp to occur.

Complete blood work showed potassium of 3.3 and CPK of 2707 and TSH of 4.7. No renal failure showing although my understanding is hyperthyroidism can mask renal problems. He's taking potassium gluconate 1/2 of 438mg tab twice a day for a week and 1/4 of 5mg methamazole once a day for 4 days so far. Is there anything else I should be looking for? His weight hasn't improved...never been a big eater.
