BTW that article by Mayo is really out of date. The OLD daily recommendations were 3,500 mg potassium daily.

It was recently raised to 4,700mg.

This is a really good up to date monograph on potassium:

When potassium levels get low, there can be a corresponding low magnesium as well. So do investigate magnesium rich foods, as well.
