Potassium is the most important mineral for energy and as a cofactor for tulizting other minerals tolerating foods like milk as it's deficiency is a not well known source of dariy allergy.
It is difficutl to get enough of since we need about 10 times as much potassium as magnesium. with the rda being 4.7 grams.
Thus, deficiencies tend to be underestimated and people don’t know how to read the signs because they don’t know fully what it does.
I can’t give everyone the same solution since everyone is different, but I can give some parameters so you can understand your body better and read the signs.
Signs of potassium deficiency:
Importance: Electrons for Total Body Energy
Potassium is a key source of electrons for the mitochondria of every cell and for the circulation of the blood. All of body chemistry works together to provide energy in the forms of electrons and light.
Cells
Dr Jack Kruse explains that potassium is the number one chemistry nutrient in charging the cells with electrons. The electrical charge inside the cell is a measure of total body energy as the amount of electrons in all cells, what he calls “net negative charge” of cells and their mitochondria.
Circulation
He explains that potassium is also essential to utilizing all proteins and making the polarized water that holds the electrical charge in the blood for circulation.
Electrons are necessary to polarize the change of the water into a fourth phase of water, exclusion zone water in the blood.
It’s actually electrons that make the blood flow more than the heart as a pump as the blood gets pulled through vessels and capillaries with an extra pull of electrical magnetic charge to squeeze through the narrow arterial capillaries to the venous system.
High blood pressure is the heart pumping harder as a back up when there is low electrical charge.
Electrical charge of the blood also structured through cholesterol sulfate and other sulfates that are needed in large amounts in the diet. And working with nitric oxide, etc, as so on in complex systems of nutrients working together.
You don’t need to understand all the details, just that you need all the nutrients as a deficiency of one nutrient holds back the entire system to the level of the lowest nutrient, a systems concept referred to as rate limiting factor, or weakest link.
Blood pressure is probably the easiest way to assess total body electron levels since I don’t know a way to measure electron levels in the cell mitochondria but levels of electrons are assume to distribute quickly if not instantaneously across the body to they should be equivalent everywhere.
Edema
Edema is fluid retention.
One aspect of edema is excess sodium relative to potassium.
Edema can spread around to the lungs and heart, making the heart pumper harder with this congestion and fill the lungs leading to pulmonary edema characterized by trouble breathing and coughing.
It’s often much more than sodium potassium imbalance which makes the underlying cause worse: kidneys being weak from toxicity or infection. Doctors don’t understand this because toxicity and parasites are not a real for them. So they assume the heart is the cause of the kidney problem but say that no one knows what the real causes are. They know nothing about the new theory of cardiology, nutrition, or real life toxicology.
How Much?
The RDA for an average male is 4.7grams, that’s 4700 mg.
For females it’s to be around 3.5
Deficient conditions may need more.
Food Sources
Compare that to the average advice of just eat a banana daily that has about 450 mg.
Even doctors say that, which shows they have no nutritional training and have a complete failure to quantify.
Pork actually has more potassium per once than a banana, but no one bothers to look it up in online data bases.
People think veggies and fruits are alkaline so have more potassium. Actually, meats have more nutrients of all kinds including acid minerals like phosphorous and sulfur, which is why people that eat just meat more often do better than people who eat just plant food.
To get enough potassium people need to eat a variety of foods every day.
You must look up potassium values of foods to find foods you tolerate and meet multiple nutritional needs for optimum value.
Add up the numbers and servings.
Supplements
Some people don’t tolerate any supplement forms.
Some people find one good form.
It seems supplements are harder to assimilate so need to be taken in smaller doses more often.
Some of the reactions leading to potassium having a reputation as being dangerous may be due to this.
Compare these daily requirements to the limit put on capsules: .99 according to the idea that’s it’s dangerous to take potassium, due apparently to rare cases of problems that were not fully understood. Interesting that caution with nutrients is much greater that caution with medications.
To get 2 grams as a supplement to potassium in the diet you need 20 capsules a day.
Cofactors
The main cofactor of potassium is magnesium and also sodium.
In cases of edema avoid sodium that retains fluds.
People without edema often benefit by balancing sodium in this trio or need to supplement with sodium and not potassium. I have seen avoid one or the other both ways.
There may be other cofactors in individual cases since everything is related:
All nutrients are indirect cofactors at least as the body is only as strong as its weakest links as a system.
Monitoring
Forget the lab tests. Potassium levels are too variable and to track like that.
Potassium is not retained, burned quickly, and needed in large amounts so you need to know daily and hourly what is going on.
You can read signs that you are low but by then you are already falling behind.
Design enough or a little more than enough into the diet, which is difficult to do in the first place-- if you add up the numbers you will see.
You’re not going to get cumulate excess like sodium because is not retained. But there may be reactions to taking too much at once.
Everyone has individual needs and tolerances and therefore need a different diet and set of supplements. I can’t guess what anyone needs so I can’t give any advice.
The chemistry symbol for potassium is K, that’s not vitamin K….K? LOL

Signs of potassium deficiency:
- fatigue
- high blood pressure
- food intolerances
- edema fluid retention
- muscle cramps
- just about anything
