Re: electrolite labs after my first weeks of supplementation (BUMP)

[Guest guest]

It has been a bit more than two weeks now since I started supplementing with

1200 of potassium and a bit less than half teaspoon salt with water two times a

day. The salt I am taking is called " Maldon salt " . The potassium is slow release

and I am taking to caps of 600 each.

These were my lab results before starting supplementation:

Sodium: 138.0 mEq/L (135-145)

Potassium 3.96 mEq/L (3.5-5)

And this are the labs after two weeks of supplementation:

Sodium: 143.0 mEq/L (135-145)

Potassium 4.27 mEq/L (3.5-5)

How does this look?

Shold I introduce modifications in the dosing?

When should I test again to be safe?

Thanks a lot,

Those labs look great! I think a lot of us would be envious of those levels, at least I am (of the sodium). I would just stay on the amounts you are on and re-test in 2-3 weeks to see if it's holding at those levels.

Many thanks Terry!

Is't sodium a bit high, I really have no idea, but I see so close to the upper

limit!

Terri, that was wonderful information. I hope you will find your balance as

well! Thank you so much!

the range, about 143-144, so yours is perfect! And she said potassium should be

4.2-4.4, so your potassium is perfect, too! I am jealous...lol...I take my salt,

increased it again, and my sodium dropped. So it looks like you found the right

dose for you. So I would test again in 2 weeks and see if you are holding at

these levels. If you have, then you could probably get away with once a month

for awhile unless you change your dose of HC, then I would retest since HC can

lower your potassium.
