Potassium Supplement

IIIIISerenityNowIIIII

Hello!

I've noticed that I am having a really hard time getting even close to enough potassium. I tried coconut water and am not a fan. Would anyone advise taking a supplement so I can get enough each day?

Potassium isn't required on nutrition labels, so a lot of foods in the database don't list it. It's actually pretty difficult to become potassium deficient, it's about as common as sodium, if not more.

Do you like bananas?

Citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits. One cup of orange juice contains 500mgs.
Fish, especially halibut, tuna and flounder (all contain 400mg+ per serving)
Beets, 1 cup of beets is approximately 15% of your daily potassium dose
Bananas each contain 450mg of potassium
Tomato or prune juice
Honeydew melons
Lima beans, 1 cup contains 1000mgs
Baked potatoes contain nearly 900mgs
