Potassium!

Hi all, new group member here, and hope someone can answer what is probably a

basic question.

 

I know the recommended potassium amount is 3.5 or 4 grams a day. If someone has

an Rx for a 10mEq tablet, , I think that means it's more or less .01 * 40 grams,

or about .4 grams of K. So far so good.

 

That's about 10% of the RDA. But a little can of V8 says it has 16% of the RDA.

Have I made a mistake somewhere? A can of V8 is a lot better than a pill!

Hi All,

 

Yes, a Low Sodium V8 is one of the best sources of Potassium. Keep in mind that

sodium and potassium are always in a ratio to one another. If you consume more

of one, it does reduce the volume of the other.

 

The recommendation of potassium has gone up to 4,700 mg.

 

Have a great day.
