Isn't cream of tartar made with tartaric acid, therefore potentially harmful?What about it?
Cream of tartar is the minerals leftover from wine making, it is not the same thing as tartaric acid.
Will it remain absorbable for the body if you do this?I mix potassium bicarbonate powder into my coffee. It doesn't mix too well but I have grown accustomed to the taste.

I missed this message. The idea that potassium, janellium, or whatever bitartrate is safe for being neutralized should also absolve lactate used in intravenous solutions.What about it?

15 Grams Of Potassium A Day Without Supplements: Perfectly PossibleThanks Amazoniac, I'll keep my hands off this stuff. My story does seem to indicate that I need potassium (still not sure though) but I need other reliable sources. My diet isn't netting it on a daily basis and I need approx 500-750mg extra potassium. Are there any potassium forms that are non-toxic and that are safe in small doses?
Yah coconut water is amazing for potassium. Also has a lot of magnesium. I find it odd that more people don't mention it around here.
1L coconut water gives:::
2.4g of potassium
67% sodium
60% manganese
60% magnesium
43% copper
42% B2
24% B6
24% B1
It even has a 1.2:1 ratio of calcium to phosphorus with 230mg of calcium, 0g of PUFA and 7g of protein.
I can get 100% potassium, magnesium and calcium from 2 latte's and a litre of coconut water and only 800 calories (200 of which is white sugar). I see no reason to supplement these things. Spend money on food.
But it's damn expensive
Life-Threatening Hyperkalemia from Cream of Tartar Ingestion
"Based on its formula (C4H5KO6), cream of tartar is 20% potassium. A consumer bottle of cream of tartar usually contains about 28 g/oz; therefore, six tablespoons would be 3 oz or 84 g, of which 16.8 g (430 mmol) is potassium."
I have no idea how safe it is. I'm just sharing in case someone's interested.
Molecule of the Month: A pinch of salt is a matter of life and death:
"A large dose of several grams of potassium chloride will paralyse the central nervous system, cause convulsions, diarrhoea, kidney failure and rapid death from heart failure. But what Dr Cox did illegally in Britain is done legally in the United States - as a method of capital punishment. Condemned people who agree to donate their organs for transplants may be executed by 'non-toxic lethal injection' of potassium chloride. Unlike poison gas or the electric chair, it leaves all organs intact."
Yes, a large dose at once that the person is not used to, 'overwhelming the ability' of the kidneys to clear it.I am confused, if high intake potassium a day is not giving any health problems, than what exactly is dangerous then?
High amount potassium at once? or these potassium chloride aka losalt/cream of tartar stuff?
