- Join me as I examine the cheapest and most effective potassium supplement and describe how much to use!
...........................................................................
!! IMPORTANT NOTE: At around 2 minutes 20 in the video, I state that potassium bitartrate is a medium potency potassium source and I go on to suggest a modest dosage. I need to reinforce that, in my experience and that of those I have worked with, this modest dosage results in a substantial effect. The dose is small, the result is large, especially in the context of muscle discomfort. Also, the effect is better than that of larger potassium doses from electrolyte powders, potassium pill and powdered supplements and diet salt (containing potassium chloride). This is what I’m trying to get at here. For some people, this is a superior source of potassium IN SPITE OF the lower dose.
..............................................................................
It’s still true. This is still the cheapest potassium source around but I need to clear up a couple of details that I didn’t explain well enough in the video from a couple of years ago. An incredibly useful potassium source is Cream of Tartar that you can get from your supermarket. So, it’s very easy to access for most of us and it is also very very cheap! Now. In just a minute I’ll explain the portioning or dosing of the powder but first I need to state very clearly. This is not a ‘therapeutic’ dose I’m describing here. Anyone with a medical condition requiring specific potassium supplementation should follow their doctors’ instructions. This source is most useful for those who want to improve or balance their electrolyte levels, help relieve cramping and sore muscles or help reduce nervy muscle conditions such as restless leg syndrome. And of course, ask your doctor first before taking any new supplement type. Now, as far as balancing electrolyte levels goes. It is very common for people to add sodium and magnesium to their diet or drinks but forget about potassium. Over time, this strategy can lose its effectiveness because we may not be getting enough potassium to keep up with a high sodium and magnesium turnover. The result of that imbalance can be continued muscle discomfort and cramping because food is generally NOT a good source of potassium. Modern foods have had a lot of the potassium bread out of them. Even bananas and avocados don’t contain much potassium any more. Off the shelf electrolyte drinks also appear to be low in potassium. For people who have very high potassium requirements, like those who do heavy work in the heat and those on very low carbohydrate diets, commercial electrolyte drinks tend not to contain enough potassium.

What do you think of this video? Let me know: docs.google.co...
Thanks so much for this! I’ve tried taking the 99mg pills, salt substitute, and the pure potassium from Amazon as I was tested low in potassium. I never felt any difference, other than the citrate powder, which gave me bad side effects.
Within 2 days of taking 1/2 tsp a day I just felt great! And the heart palpitations I was having almost every day haven’t appeared since…been a couple of weeks. I was seriously skeptical such a low dose would do anything at all. Boy was I wrong. Don’t know how your video popped up on my feed, but I am SO grateful it did. Thanks again.
You're so welcome! Thank you for confirming the small dose can be effective. Maybe sometime in the future, we'll better understand that this form of potassium is more effective than standard dosing would suggest.
My lifelong palpitations have essentially ceased since using 3 (99 mg) capsules per day too! I'm going to check out this source too...
Careful folks. I took a potassium supplement for a period 4 or 5 months about 10 years ago. I started having weird symptoms that continued to worsen for weeks before it dawned on me that I could be overdosing potassium. Turns out, I was. After stopping, my symptoms gradually disappeared with no lasting problems. I was lucky. Severe hyperkalemia can have a mortality rate of over 30% if not treated promptly.
Symptoms of hyperkalemia include:
Muscle weakness or fatigue
Numbness or tingling sensations
Nausea and vomiting
Irregular heart rhythms or palpitations
Shortness of breath
Chest pain
Wise words. Thank you!
How much were you taking? Was it potassium chloride?
Aren’t those the same symptoms as deficiency in potassium? 🧐
im having those symptoms as well as migraines is the reason why Im taking cream of tartar!
Yes @@MariaWalker-qo3vi
Sodium-free salt from the supermarket does the job as well. I take water with Himalaya salt, sodium-free salt (potassium salt), and two magnesium pills first thing in the morning. And when I add salt to food, I always add the same amount of Himalaya salt as potassium salt. It literally costs almost nothing.
Wow !! Awesome reminder to always having in shelf for cooking years ago when a single mom!! Both my grandmothers had it too in their shelves. Thank you Andy !!
Welcome! Right there on the shelf 😀
Thank you very much for this video I have pernicious anemia and just read that to get a quick dose of potassium without having to gobble down a bunch of bananas and avocado, to take cream of tartar so I went in search of a video and found you thank you very much for this information.
I just took my cream of tartar with cranberry black cherry juice I didn't taste the cream of tartar at all
@18eleanor Good thinking!
Fantastic, liked & subbed. Guess what i was doing an hour ago 😂😂😂. I was trying to pick out a potassium product to buy for the first time online. Thank you. 😊👍🏴
Hope it helps. Let us know how it goes 👍
One teaspoon of cream of tartar contains approximately 495 milligrams of potassium. Keep in mind that this can vary slightly based on the brand and specific product.
Very useful information, thank you😀
You're totally welcome. Thank you for watching!
Potassium Citrate is available at low cost as a bulk powder from Amazon
👍
Citrates not so good
definitely taken with magnesium and sodium because it causes electrolytes imbalance ,and you will have side effects, and also no more than 1 gram of potassium per day , you will have laxative effects depending on person , and taken in periods truthout the day like ,morning, afternoon,evening
I found that this product is a waste subproduct of wine due to the fermentation needed. Wine, or grapes, are full of Glyphosate. If I use tartar, does it have it still? I don´t want to be poissioned by this herbicide.
As with any product, if we really want to know, we have to check with the manufacturer.
Potassium Chloride (NoSalt) salt substitute is pretty inexpensive also.
Definitely quite cheap. I tried it out extensively before discovering the cream of tartar but it wasn't effective. No idea why 🤷
@@health_coach_andy thanks for the quick and thoughtful reply
I bought some potassium capsules but it says potassium bicarbonate. Is this a good type of potassium? Thank you
Could be perfectly fine. Just very expensive compared to potassium bitartrate.
Hello there - I live in the UK & cannot find a source to purchase the McKenzie brand, so the obvious question is would any other brand suffice ?
Any quality brand should be much the same. Cream of tartar is Potassium Bitartrate. There shouldn't be any filler in a quality product. If you contact the manufacturer, they will be able to let you know the other ingredients.
@@health_coach_andy Thank you very much kind sir - may you have as one of many a very pleasant day.
@MegaSteve1957 thank you! You too.
Does it help with lowering blood pressure?
Apparently so.
i add a flavor stick to it like lemonade or peach are my fav sometimes grape
You add a flavour stick to cream of tartar?
@@health_coach_andy i put COT in water then add flavor stick like sugar free koolaid, it’s like my own Gatoraide or Propel water but I control the amount of potassium .
Bravo! You're an ideas girl! Ima get right on that!
@@health_coach_andy Taa!
Thank you
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching 😀
What time should I take it? Will it cause sleepiness
Any time you like. Won't cause sleepiness.
@@health_coach_andy one more question I bought the Mccormick Cream of tartar is this good
Thankyou 🎉
Thank you.
Wouldn't potassium impair the positive effect of creatine on hydration?
Only a high dose could conceivably impair the effect. What I'm recommending is only a low dose. It just happens to work well for some people. I'm guessing it's something to do with the molecular form rather than the dose.
@@health_coach_andy thank you! I used to avoid both potassium and vitamin C cause of my need for more water to stay in my body, but I guess I could go for low doses
I use NoSalt. Pretty cheap as well.
What about 'No Salt' potassium chloride?
It doesn't seem to work for myself and the people I've worked with. Don't know why. It should but it doesn't.
I make my own electrolyte solution. Per day:
800 mg Celtic Sea salt
*264 mg Na
*536 mg Cl
2 g cream of tartar
*416 mg K
4 g magnesium citrate
*600 mg Mg
I do not add Ca
Wow. You're the first person I've heard of doing it that way (I mean to that recipe). Any reason you don't use magnesium glycinate?
@@health_coach_andy it wasn't relevant to the topic so I didn't mention but I also mix glycine at 6 g per day along with taurine at 6 grams per day.
Aha. Quite a bit of each?
I tried glycine years ago after listening to Chris Masterjohn discuss it for sleep. Quickly found out I'm a glycine reverse hyper responder. Didn't sleep for at least 48 hours 😱
@@health_coach_andy I take the high dose glycine in combination with high-dose NAC (capsules) to boost my glutathione levels.
Do you get noticeable benefits from that?
11Wow. I'm going to try this. Thanks!!
You're very welcome!
How about heart palpitations
High potassium levels can lead to an irregular heart beat so anyone with this inclination should consult their doctor.
Potassium chloride is natural and it tastes just like salt.
Nu salt is potassium chloride.
👍
is there aluminum in cream of tartar?
Good question! Cream of tartar (in it's purest sense) is a chemical called potassium bitartrate and is made-up of only carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and potassium. It's possible aluminium gets added to some products. I've checked with the manufacturer of my favourite brand and they say there is no aluminium. You'd have to check with yours to be 100% sure.
@@health_coach_andy well. what's your brand???
I drink _Hydralites_ every day. Good enough..?
In Australia we have a product called Hydralyte. Is that what you mean? Anyway, if so, it's a pretty typical 'off the shelf' product. I tried it in the past and it didn't work for me. The potassium was too low. It also contained added sugar which I won't accept these days.
@@health_coach_andy Yep, Hydralyte. Only 3g of sugar per glass, but it does have a fair amount of sodium. Potassium is 150mg per glass.
Thanks for the feedback but I will continue to drink it -- it''s better than the apple juice I was previously drinking throughout the day..!
Notwithstanding that, I will look out for the product you're recommending next time I'm at Woolies or Coles.
Deadset mate! I'll see you there!
Coconut water is very good as well !?
I tried it years ago and didn't find it effective. How about you?
👏🏾🎉
👍😀
The phrase is - see a man about a horse... ask a pilot.
But I don't have room for a horse! 🐴🤷
Potato or beans or lentils or squash
👍
Wa bout heart disease patients?
Interesting question! Your doctor has to be your guide in that situation. Potassium is well understood to reduce blood pressure but clinical application must be administered by a medical professional.
💪🙂👍
👍😀💪
Good advice. Please talk faster, with more energy! 😂
At 1.25 speed, do I seem almost alive?? 🧟🧟🧟
@@health_coach_andy Absolutely 💯 it’s really awful to compare you to others. Especially when you are concentrating on delivering a message. But RUclips is akin to showbiz 🤩🥳
Mate, can you ditch the stupid music and heartbeat in the background please. Very disconcerting and detracted from the vid.
Deadset! Out with the music!

That's the spirit!
Ask a doctor lol.
