Question What are you taking?
How much?

I see a reference to "sports drinks"....you do know that they have very low potassium in them? FDA does not allow high amounts of potassium in any manufactured drink.

On the other hand one can of V8 juice has as much potassium as one SlowK
Rx tablet.

Some foods are very high in potassium== 1/2 canteloupe is 1,400mg.

Daily recommended allowance is now 4.7 grams
One serving of Gatorade has 30mg.
OTC supplements of potassium have 99mg.

So I hope you have an RX? You don't say that, so I am assuming?
