    I was worried about my potassium intake as well, because I never reach my goal. I have muscle pain and my joints bother me and I'm only 23. I started taking a potassium supplement of 99mg. Definitely don't do more than that, it can kill you. I have low blood sugar, so my protein levels are constantly low. I started drinking special k protein shakes. Theyou taste so good! They have 15g of protein, ando 545 MG of potassium. It's safe, and healthy. Oh and they only have 190 calories
    A 99mg supplement is microscopic. My RDI is 3500mg and 99 wouldn't even put a dent in that.

    I run several tomatoes through the juicer every day to get my potassium.
