How is your math? 198mg/2 tablets OTC potassium = approximately 4% of your daily intake recommendation.
4700mg a day is alot. You need to eat good food to get this amount.

I've given this website many times...it is very helpful to
find foods high in nutrients that you may be missing:

You need to stop this obsession with micro amounts of B6 in common foods. It is inhibiting you from other nutrients you need on a daily basis.

If you are low in potassium it is because of a medical reason:
kidney functions predominately, but also a very poor diet.
Severe chronic diarrhea will also lower serum potasssium, as will some drugs. (steroids, some antibiotics, diuretics are the most common).

Our bodies conserve and maintain/balance potassium critically...once something begins to lower it, you need to pay attention to that.

1 cup of mashed banana:
http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/...-juices/1846/2
.8mg of B6,
60.8 mg of magnesium
806mg of potassium

You would need at least 100mg to 200mg a day of B6 for many many months to get any toxicity from it and even then, it is rare.

I am getting a bit weary of this conversation, about B6. So I won't respond to it in the future after this post.
