I would only take that much K unless under the advice and monitoring of a doctor. It's probably fine, but potassium can kill you.
The problem is that it's not known to be safe for pregnancy, so you have to start it and stop it suddenly at ovulation which is not safe.
Can you drink a coconut water instead? It has 600 mg potassium in it and it's in a form that your body can handle more easily - you can keep drinking it in pregnancy.
Thanks Atomic. I started this PH when i first found about the swaying on the other site...I have a bag of garbage with Hanna machine and solutions for PH. Great to hear that i can give up all that and focus on diet. Thank you for the links they are very helpful.
Just to say good luck to all in July
I drank coconut water everyday ate bananas and kiwi and other foods and I'm having a boy and I didn't take the potassium supplement.
I am trying to have 1 banana and a coconut water.. they both are very filling...What is Kiwi for?Quote:

That is a great start Annita, plus you'll be getting potassium in meats and most of the foods you eat have some. :)Quote:
