Potassium is a chemical component with a whole bundle of similar properties to Sodium hence there are a great many who view Potassium as a ready replacement for Sodium in your diet.
There are differences however (as any good Chemist will tell you) and the most basic diffeence is that Potassium within the body is found as a chemical within the body cells whereas Sodium can be fond to alarge degree in the fluids around and between the cells.
A major survey in 1999 by researchers from John Hopkins University in Baltimore in the US found that Potassium proved more helpful in People with severe High Blood Pressure and those who ate diets high in Salt than Sodium.
How much is safe to take? Well there are no recomended daily intake levels of Potassium. The average daily consumption is reckoned to be between 2,000 and 3,500 milligrams per day and the source of this is either from Food or vitamin supplements. It is reckoned that a daily intake level of between 2,000 and 6,000 milligrams is safe to consume and the only real side effects………………belching and flatulence…..you really wanted to know that didn’t you?
Other side effects are extremely rare that it is not really safe to directly associate any with an intake of Potassium.
