Talking to my friend who brought this potassium to my attention, tells me this is what she takes outside of the foods:

((The 1100 - 1500 I take is from capsules, and maybe the V8 - it doesn't take into account any potassium from food. E.g., I will take around 300 mg. potassium gluconate after each breakfast, lunch and dinner, and then another 200 mg. in the middle of the night when I wake up, and then sometimes a glass of V8 as well.

So if you add it up, it comes to around 1300 mg. and then if I drink some V8, it's another 900 mg.


So with the RDA where it's at, this is no where near that 4000+ daily intake.
