Potassium supplements are USELESS. They cannot have more than 99mg in them per FDA rules.
You need to eat 4500mg a day to keep up. Please don't waste your money on potassium pills purchased over the counter.
The RX kind from your doctor may have 600-800mg/tablet.
1/2 cantaloupe has 1200 mg by comparison.
This website can help you choose foods high in potassium:

Do not self medicate with high doses of potassium (should you find some) without first consulting your doctor. Food is the best way to go.
