Potassium is one of the body’s most important minerals. It is present in every cell of the human body.
In fact, it is one of the body’s four main electrolytes, along with sodium, magnesium and calcium.
Being an electrolyte, potassium helps maintain a proper water balance in the body as well as regulate blood pressure.
It also plays a role in the digestion of proteins and carbohydrates.
Here are the top 10 signs and symptoms that you are not getting enough potassium.
1, Muscle Cramps. 01:02
Frequent muscle cramps, whether during the day or night, is a very common sign of a potassium deficiency. Cramping in the legs, feet and arms is common.
Potassium is one of the electrolytes found in all body cells, including muscle and nerve cells.
It works with sodium to maintain your cells’ electrical charges, which control muscle contractions and functioning.
When this mineral is low in the body, the cells do not send or receive the proper electrical signals to control muscle contractions.
This in turn increases the chance of suffering from frequent muscle cramps. The cramps can last from a few seconds to minutes.
As significant fluid loss from profuse sweating may cause low levels of potassium, it is important to replenish your body’s potassium after exercise.
2, Muscle Weakness and Damage. 02:02
A low potassium level can have a huge impact on your muscle health. It can impair the function of muscle cells as well as damage the muscles.
This leads to profound weakness and muscle stiffness, aching and tenderness.
Also, potassium is needed for healing the muscles on a cellular level. Hence, there may also be an increase in muscle tearing or straining with little or no effort.
If your muscles feel weak and tired for no apparent reason, you need to get your potassium level checked.
3, General Fatigue. 02:55
Another common symptom of low potassium is a general feeling of fatigue. This kind of fatigue is not due to overexertion or overworking.
In fact, the feeling of fatigue and tiredness has no explainable reason. Every cell in the body needs the right amount of potassium to function,
and an inadequate amount of this mineral can affect the functioning of cells as well as organs.
Thus, a deficiency of this mineral can lead to fatigue and general weakness.
4, Tingling Sensations. 03:45
Potassium is important for the health of your nerves. A low level of this mineral can affect the electrical impulses that pass from the skin and muscles to the spinal cord and brain.
This can lead to a loss of sensation along the outer extremities, resulting in the tingling sensations.
Usually, this tingling sensation is noticed in the fingers, toes, hands, feet, arms and legs. Low potassium may also contribute to muscle twitching.
If you experience tingling sensations in your arms and legs, along with other symptoms mentioned here,
there is a strong possibility that you are low in potassium. A simple blood test can confirm this.
5, Heart Palpitations. 04:36
A potassium deficiency can also affect your heart health. It can cause an irregular heartbeat rhythm and heart palpitations for no apparent reason at all.
Low potassium can disrupt the rhythmic, coordinated contractions of the heart that are controlled by electrical impulses.
On the other hand, an adequate amount of potassium in the body helps protect your heart from heart disease, heart attacks and strokes.
No matter what, if you are experiencing heart palpitations, it is important to see a doctor.
6, Mental or Emotional Issues. 05:25
Potassium is important for mental health and brain function. It helps maintain the electrical conductivity of the brain and nerve transmissions.
Plus, it plays a key role in transporting serotonin, a neurotransmitter that promotes feelings of well-being and happiness.
This is why a low potassium level can contribute to confusion, mood swings, depression, hallucinations and delirium.
A 1992 article published in Neuropsychobiology reported a relationship between sodium, magnesium and potassium in depressed patients.
7, Constipation. 06:36
The mineral potassium is important for the digestive system, which is made of smooth muscles that contract rhythmically to aid digestion of food.
Low blood levels of potassium can disrupt the functions of the involuntary muscles of the stomach and intestines.
Proper functioning of these muscles is needed for digestion, absorption and metabolism to occur. Poor functioning can lead to constipation.
8, High Blood Pressure. 07:21
Potassium helps relax blood vessels, and without enough of it, they can become constricted, which causes blood pressure to rise.
Potassium also balances out the negative effects of sodium.
When potassium is low, the balance of sodium in the body gets disturbed. This can also affect your blood pressure.

Hey Don, I do take supplements for vitamins and necessary elements that were prescribed along with the mineral analysis. I take 2800 micrograms of vitamin A (unsure if it is sourced from fish oil) 390 milligrams of vitamin E, 1600 milligrams of vitamin C, 18 milligrams of vitamin B1 and 100 milligrams of vitamin B6 in total, daily. As for Zinc, I get 66mg daily through the supplements. The potassium gluconate bit sounds interesting, but what can I expect from supplementing potassium in that form? I did a quick Google search and came up with a few results that claimed it had an effect on their brain fog, usually an adverse one (as in, the brain fog worsened/became heavier), which interests me. I'm guessing the sodium-to-potassium balance/ratio is what's being affected here? Thanks for the reply.

Any fast is a learning experience. What are your goals? A fast is the start of an elimination diet, so you may uncover foods you are sensitive to. You will certainly develop vitamin deficiencies the longer you fast. Be observant of your own health. Your goal should not be X number of days.
Potassium deficiency — part 1
November 4, 2015 in food, history | Tags: farming, food, health, history, Justus von Liebig, potassium, sea salt
Many Westerners suffer from potassium deficiency.
Much of this is caused by the poor mineral quality of our soil which leads to fewer nutrients in fruit, vegetables and meat that we consume.
Potassium deficiency can manifest itself in a number of ways: high blood pressure, heart palpitations, muscle aches and even mental issues such as irritability and depression. People with medical con ... [Image Embedded Here]

i wouldnt think so. five grams of KCl provides about 2500mg of potassium or a little over half of the daily requirement as set by the FDA. i think RDA should be closer to 9 grams for an adult male under 200lbs.
I have been buying Potassium Citrate Bulk Supplements brand from Amazon. Am interested in learning more about Potassium Bicarbonate and what the differences are in effects on the body. I put 1/8 tsp of Potassium Citrate in my water bottle which holds a little more than 2 cups of water. After experimenting this amount seems to work for me instead of taking a large dose all at once.
I'm over 60 years old and my experience is with potassium gluconate since I was in my twenties.
I've never had any success getting enough potassium through food.
One of the basic functions of potassium is in supporting peristalsis, the involuntary wave-like contraction of muscles, i.e. elimination and swallowing.
The opposite of peristolsis is painful cramping.
It takes more than 500mg of potassium gluconate a day to stem the symptoms.
The amount I take is dependent upon my protein and salt intake.
Instead of gobbling multi-gram doses of KCl, why not take a little time to think about it between whatever else you're doing ?
What do I mean about "thinking" ??
How about first investigate, and then open a discussion on the quantity of potassium in urine, what is the normal range before it is considered hyperkalemia ? By the way, K stands for Kalium.
Back to the deal. You suggest one can gobble multi gram amounts and that may be true, but perhaps it is better to do a little math, consider daily average voided urine volume, and the concentration of K in it and get a total, then "think" what it means. How much does the body "lose" via the urine on a daily basis ? Next, look at daily average fecal K content and calculate how much on average needs to be replaced. I did the math, and it is far less than the daily recommended amount.
Consider perhaps when ingesting 4 grams of KCl, what is the body's ability to assimilate it ? If one is ingesting more than the body can assimilate, it will be voided via kidney, but in that case it represents an instance of added and likely unnecessary renal stress. I therefore suggest smaller amounts on a more frequent basis.
I suggest people need to ascertain the status of their renal function prior to overloading the body with any electrolyte. What is the potential for burning out the nephrons and putting ones self to need to do dialysis twice a week ? That would be a tragedy if one's initial intent was to get healthier by ingesting more potassium.
trappers note: i have used this before. it really works well but is way too expensive, being a MLM product and all.
Ingredients in Matol KM
by ALLEN BETHEA Last Updated: Nov 09, 2015
Ingredients in Matol KM
The formula for Matol KM was developed by Karl Jurak, a young man searching for ways to perform at the highest levels physically and mentally. According to marketing legend, Jurak experimented with different ingredient combinations and permutations until he found a formula that maximized his performance, health and energy levels yet had no toxic side effects. Matol KM is not a drug but a dietary supplement. As such, the combination of 18 active ingredients it contains has not been officially tested for safety or approved for any medical condition by the Food and Drug Administration. If you are considering taking Matol KM to treat a medical condition, talk with your doctor first.
Matol KM Formula Overview
Matol KM is a merger of modern pharmaceutical Science with time-tested traditional herbal medicine designed to improve your health and well-being. Officially, Matol KM is a potassium supplement. According to the Matol KM Fact Sheet on AimToBeHealthy.com, however, the formula boosts energy levels, oxygenates the blood, eliminates toxins, balances the body's acid-base levels, increases performance and supplements your potassium and magnesium.
Proprietary Herbal Extract Blend
The heart of the Matol KM formula is its "Proprietary Herbal Extract Blend," a balanced mixture of 14 different herbal ingredients. One tablespoon of Matol KM contains a total of 108 milligrams of chamomile, sarsaparilla, dandelion, horehound, licorice, senega, passion flower, thyme, gentian, saw palmetto, alfalfa, angelica, Celery seed and cascara sagrada. The herbs are supposed to work in synergy; the amount of any individual herb per dose is probably too small to have a therapeutic effect. For instance, a typical herbal laxative may have 450 milligrams or more of cascara sagrada per dose – more than four times the total weight of a dose of KM's extract blend.
Minerals
In addition to herbs, a dose of Matol KM contains four key minerals. It has 30.5 milligrams of calcium in the form of calcium glycerophosphate. Ferric glycerophosphate adds 1.4 milligrams of iron. One dose includes 22.5 milligrams of Iodine as potassium Iodide and 350 milligrams or 10 percent of the recommended daily amount of potassium ion.
Inactive Ingredients
Matol contains other ingredients that have no nutritional or therapeutic value but help stabilize, preserve, color, balance acid levels, sweeten and flavor the complex mix of herbs and minerals. The inactive ingredients in Matol KM are purified water, caramel color, glycerin, potassium hydroxide and natural and artificial flavors. Methylparaben and propylparaben are added as antibacterial and anti-fungal preservatives .
