Low Toxin Diet Potassium Bicarbonate

[mattmm24]

What has everyone on here found to be the best potassium to supplement? I see potassium gluconate mentioned a lot. Does anyone take potassium bicarbonate? Seems like it is pretty hard to hit the RDA unless you really really try. I have been taking some potassium oratate lately, but the doses are so small.

I am seeing potassium citrate (GMO Free) as the best and along with magneisum malate is a winning combination.

Thought G. smith was against citrate due to mould. I often use citrate myself because I found the other forms to be tough on me but I struggle with mould and am unsure of it

He is OK with NON GMO citrates.

I have heard that citrate forms of minerals are one of the few that absorb even in low HCL conditions.

I find magnesium citrate good. Overdosed once on K citrate and ended in the ER (oops) but I was in a messed up state anyway. (fasting, exercising intensely, keto…)

Does topical potassium actually work? Do you have any info I can read more about it?

I would go with chloride. Its cheap, 50/50 on Potassium and Chloride. Bicarbonate would be advisable to not take with food and for citrate and gluconate I dont know.
Chloride could even improve stomach acid if taken with a meal because of Chloride part in HCL.

Potassium chloride topically seems to work good. I take potassium citrate internally.

Why not potassium chloride internally? For me personally it seems to intensely irritate my intenstines.

Some people seem to get along with it. I just prefer the citrate version right now.

Do you mix those two?
And didnt you use the potassium chloride at one point....

1 litre of coconut water will give you approx 4 grams of potassium.

Food

I personally like to use potassium bicarbonate orally. It's elemental potassium content is very high and the taste isn't that bad.

I tried bicarbonate and didn't really like it. No noticeable symptoms and it does help the alkalinity of the body. But like you said, it messes with stomach acid. I will probably just opt for food and then maybe some potassium chloride if I feel like I am lacking. I am trying to eat 6-9 cups of cooked vegetables every day so that should be plenty of potassium.

dang, that almost happened to me this weekend. I had been sipping on potassium citrate for a few days. Maybe a tsp or two total per day. Felt fantastic the first day. Euphoric while I was sitting in the morning sun. But intense anxiety attacks began a few days later. And continued until I drank maybe 6 glasses of water over a few hours.

Oops. What’s the correct way to supplement potassium? Because that sure wasn’t it. I think I was sipping too concentrated of a solution and probably should only take potassium with a meal with lots of carbs. Never on an empty stomach.

I ended up in the E.R. after a flat small teaspoon of potassium citrate with some salt on an empty stomach. It was the closest thing to a near-death-experience that I ever experienced.

Never on an empty stomach. Always after food. I never took K supplements again but if I’d take it again I would likely keep it at max. 500mg elemental K per meal. I thinks Dr. Smith suggests no more than 2g of supplemental elemental K per day.

Potassium citrate and magnesium glycinate I find best

Although I do also like magnesium malate
