Potassium recommended daily

No RDA has been set in the USA but the estimated minimum requirement for a healthy person is 2000 mg. The typical adult intake may be between 800 mg and 1500 mg. The RNI in the UK is 3500 mg and the RDA in Australia is 1950 to 5460 mg.

Supplements

Potassium supplements are usually in the form of tablets or solutions, often of potassium chloride. Amino acid chelate and protein complexes are also available and these complexes also replace the protein losses which accompany potassium excretion. Potassium is added to sports drinks to help replace that lost in heavy sweating.

Potassium supplements can be irritating to the stomach and should be taken after meals with a glass of water. Slow release or film-coated tablets have been associated with ulcers of the small intestine. The tablets should not be taken with alcohol as this may worsen stomach irritation.
