Hey,
What has been everyone's experience with potassium? As in, do you notice you need to hit the 4700mg a day, or it doesn't matter, or have you noticed effects without hitting it?
I've heard from people it's difficult to be low in potassium. Even when I get bloodwork, I see my potassium is usually always right in the middle. I think because your body excretes it if it gets too high, or it holds onto it if your intake goes down?
However, I've noticed that my lips will turn a deeper shade of red if I get a lot of potassium, and if I don't for a few days, they go back to lighter shade of red. I think it effects my overall looks as well, like my skin will be more dry if I don't.
I've had to opt for coconut water due to endotoxin? issues with potatoes/milk, but it is just interesting. There is the 4700mg need per day that is there, so I guess you do need that amount per day overall anyway, but always never sure on it.
thoughts?
