Re: wanted to clarify if potassium is good for low adrenals?? Update- How much NaK is OK?

[Guest guest]

This is re an earlier thread. I just found the reference specifying

Andy's suggested upper limit to potassium salt. It's HTI, p.249, also

quoted here:

http://onibasu.com/archives/am/130725.html

" Potassium should not be taken by itself without food as it can cause

dangerous irregularities in heart function. Taste should be relied on as

a guide to preventing

too great a potassium intake - that is, only salt the food to taste with

potassium containing salt and do not eat it if it tastes bad. Some

modest metallic taste is to be expected but should not be unpleasant. In

any case, intakes of potassium exceeding 1/2 tsp. of potassium chloride

based salt substitute spread throughout the day and mixed with food

require a physician's supervision and relevant testing. "

It's either 1/2 or 1 tsp KCl, and I don't feel like going to look for it

now.

To be safe, I'd suggest sticking to less than 1/2. Though as just

pointed out, it seems he makes a cautionary reference to 1/5:
