You don't need a supplement for potassium. The highest dose allowed in supplements OTC is 99mg. That is like spitting in the ocean, when your RDA is 4,700 mg now.
One can of V8 has over 800mg in it. Many good food sources are 400mg a serving or more.
If the magnesium is not OXIDE... most brands will do.
WalMart has brand name SlowMag for $9.99/60. Average dose is 1 tablet daily or one tablet twice a day depending on how low you are.
Some of the brands at WalMart are surprisingly good and affordable.
If you are on HCTZ diuretic, your doctor should be giving you a potassium supplement anyway. Your doctor should monitor your potassium levels regularly. It is not wise to take potassium on your own without supervision.
