Check with your doctor with on medication. Taking potassium can mess with your bp levels. Also you should track your eating for a few days to see how much potassium you get daily.
About a month ago, I decided to supplement my potassium. I don't get enough and it's not possible for me to eat that much food daily without being sick and bloated. I have also been increasing my protein levels as well.
Even though I been battling allergies, sinus and a cold, I noticed the effect increasing my potassium has had on me. I feel stronger and more engertic.
My nails are slowly looking better. Also added Tea tree oil to my hand wash soap. So that is also helping my nails.
I don't have any diagnosised mental health issues. I have notice anxiety has lessen. Mentally I just felt stronger. This isnt solely because of increasing my potassium though.
You should try to get the majority of your potassium from food though if possible. I get some from liquid egg, bodyarmor/ghost drinks, Greens, protein shakes.

Potassium is an essential mineral crucial for various bodily functions, including muscle contraction and nerve transmission. Many people experience a potassium deficiency due to poor dietary habits, leading to symptoms like fatigue and muscle weakness. Supplementing potassium can help rectify these deficiencies, but it should generally come from food sources such as bananas, oranges, and leafy greens. Liquid potassium supplements like Potassium Chloride can be beneficial for individuals unable to meet their potassium needs through diet alone. It's important to note that excessive potassium intake, especially through supplements, can lead to hyperkalemia, a condition characterized by high potassium levels in the blood, which can be dangerous. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation. Tracking your potassium intake is also advisable to ensure you are within a safe range. Engaging in a balanced diet alongside necessary supplements will provide a holistic approach to improving your health.
