Potassium Supplements: Safety Considerations Unveiled

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Regarding your question about taking potassium supplements, in a normal healthy individual without any underlying health conditions such as chronic kidney or renal failure or advanced liver cirrhosis, potassium intake typically has no adverse effects. However, in conditions where the body's ability to regulate potassium levels is compromised, such as kidney issues, monitoring and control of potassium intake are necessary. It's essential to undergo thorough medical evaluation before starting potassium supplements, especially if you have hypertensive conditions or other health concerns.

Thanks
