What Causes Low Potassium Is Not So Obvious

Thanks I was told to ensure I had good Potassium after B12 injection - so I have a banana

[greygoose in reply to Marz]

Yes, bananas are supposed to be good. But how much are we actually absorbing? That's the question.

[Marz in reply to greygoose]

..of course....we just have to do our best !

[greygoose in reply to Marz]

Of course.

Hi Potassium is affected by magnesium , both are electrolytes. Ideally it should be at 4.0. Only take in food without weekly blood tests and on a script. It is a very dangerous substance if just taken.

[greygoose in reply to Jackie]

No-one's suggesting that anyone 'just take' it. It says in the article that it's affected by magnesium and that improving magnesium levels can improve potassium levels.

[Jackie in reply to greygoose]

HI Yes, exactly what I said. I should have read it better, sorry.

Yes, been reading that taking Methyl B12 / Folate can lower Potassium

- pity there isn't a home test (as with Glucose) so you could keep

check.

[Jackie in reply to QUE6T-33]

Hi There is a home machine for measuring Potassium but completely unreliable and expensive. Best to have U`s and E`s done regularly as no way of telling otherwise. Magnesium should be done separately if Potassium very low or high.
