[QUOTE="DixieWrecked, post: 166674, member: 38965"] For a vast majority of people there is no reason to take a potassium supplement. Potassium works opposite sodium in the Sodium Potassium pump so it actually negates some of the positive effects of the sodium. Potassium is administered to combat high blood pressure because of sodium's supposed blood pressure raising (blood volume increasing) effects. You most likely get plenty of potassium from your diet because you don't need nearly as much Potassium as you do Sodium and there is plenty of Potassium in everyday normal whole foods. I will add that the negative effects from Sodium that most people worry about are based on archaic studies and in the studies only a very small percentage were sodium sensitive. Similar to an allergy. If you sit in a cubicle all day and don't exercise you probably don't need to bump your Sodium. Also if you are eating a bunch of garbage processed foods you probably don't need to bump your sodium. But if you are eating clean and exercising I can almost promise that you will feel better from upping your Sodium. [/QUOTE]
