You have to be very careful supplementing potassium. VERY.
It is better to get your potassium from foods.

Basically there are many foods with high potassium. V8 juice, cantaloupe are two of the highest.

You can check foods on this website:

Pay attention to the serving sizes at the top left of each entry.

Bananas are not the only thing with potassium in them. Potatoes, meat, V8 juice (vegetable one) and cantaloupe are good sources.
Edamame beans also for potassium and magnesium. Orange juice is a moderate source.
