Wow this is timely, I was just researching potassium and magnesium supplements a few days ago.
It seems like potassium supplements are useless because they're limited to 100mg by law and the way to go may be potassium based salt substitutes, which you can buy in bulk and take as much as you need. Some people talk about the danger of hyperkalemia but it seems to me like it's actually very difficult to cause that with supplementation unless your kidneys are malfunctioning.
What is the best way to supplement without causing digestive issues?
- sauwan 3y agoIf you're an athlete, I'd recommend LMNT. It's easy to make yourself, tastes great, and easy on the stomach. Here's my recipe (all bought in bulk in a very fine powder form - they need to be consistent particle sizes so they mix well) which should be fairly close to LMNT, although a chemist will probably tell me I'm wrong: 20g magnesium malate 20g potassium chloride 142g salt 140g citric acid 15g stevia powder (pure, not mixed with some other sweetener) 20g artificial flavoring powder (not affiliated, but I have used black cherry powder from naturesflavors.com with good success) Mix it up and then put 1 tsp in 20-32oz water. Should last you a long while.
