Pittsburg, Kansas | Some government agency, I presume the FDA, decided potassium supplements were dangerous enough that they limited any supplement to no more than 100 mg per serving. So if you look at any potassium supplement bottle the pill size will always be 99 mg and I found one that was only 90 mg. Supposedly if you take too much potassium at once you can get heart palpatations, and that much is true. Take enough of it and it will kill you when your heart stops beating.
Key take away. Don't eat a whole bottle of potassium pills. Or don't start eating coffee cup fulls of potash fertilizer out of the Coop fertilizer bin either.
Yet if you look at my original post pictures you will see the "no salt", which you can buy in any grocery store, serving size is 1/4 teaspoon. And the one serving of 1/4 teaspoon has 690 mg of potassium which is 15% of RDA. With no warning about potentially offing yourself should you eat too much of it.
Hmmmm. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
I am pretty sure I get plenty of potassium because of the amount of meat I eat. But I use a little "No Salt" a couple times a week or whenever I happen to think about it just in case I need a little more.
I took about 1/8 teaspoon this morning in the palm of my hand, licked it up, and took a drink of water because I had not put any on my food for several days. If I don't ever post again on AgTalk you will know what happened to me.**********
Basically fertilizer, only made to food grade standards.
