> No, I can't see any harm in a potassium supplement. The best one to take is a chelated form of potassium like potassium gluconate.
Hi Iso
Just to throw a spanner into the works I very distinctly reading that anyone suffering from depression should actually AVOID potassium supplements. Too much potassium can actually aggravate depression.
I'll have a dig around to see if I can find this information back. I can't quite remember if it was on the net or in a diet and supplement book I have read. I'll definitely get back to you on this issue...probably over the weekend as I'm going to bed now.
Maybe someone else has heard of this excessive potassium/depression connection?
Expect further info soon:)
warm regards
