Potassium supplement dosage

[allmymarbles]

I have moderately low potassium due to the use of steroid inhalers that affected my adrenals. I am also midly hypothyroid and hypoglycemic. Can anyone recommend what a safe, moderate daily dosage of potassium would be? Many thinks for any information to can give.

Many thanks. I did not know you could buy them separately and will look into your suggestions.

You can take adaptogens separately.  You don't have to take a formula.  I only recommended two specific ones, eleuthero and ashwagandha, not schizandra.

Thank you for your advice. As to the adaptogens, every one I have found has had a very drying herb (schizanthus), which seems to be a staple in these preparations. Unfortunately this herb is very drying and bad for my COPD which has a bronchitis component. The banana is a good idea. And in line with your recommendation, I will  take magnesium along with the potassium. So along with the banana I will be eating avocados. Plus I will take a small dosage of magnesium potassium aspartate. Again, my many thanks for your sensible advice..

you might just try eating one banana a day.  That might help both your potassium levels and your hypoglycemia, as you say both are mild problems.  And you might try supporting your adrenals with adaptogens such as eleuthero and ashwaganda.  For exact potassium levels, that's hard, because potassium is a nutrient one has to be careful about -- you don't want too much, don't want too little.  You might look into an electrolyte supplement -- and I don't mean Gator Aid!
