Great Cofactor to other minerals and Vit D.
I am an older research analyst who was never sick and then recently suffered from a myriad of ailments for over a year. After 12 MD visits, 104 lab tests, 12 different diagnoses, and 14 prescriptions (for which I took none), I decided to apply my work skills to my health. I exercise daily and thought I ate "well". Not until I kept a detailed food log for several weeks and analyzed what I put in my pie-hole did I discover that I did not get near enough Magnesium, Calcium, Zinc, and Potassium. This analysis also assumed the mineral content of food is what it was originally documented as having...not taking into account over farming etc. I developed informative correlations between mineral deficiencies, typical age related problems, and my dietary intake of minerals. Why did my blood work and RBC content for minerals keep coming back "normal"? I, like most people, have good homeostasis. I read numerous medical and other information papers stating that serum levels are not an accurate indicator of your body stores of minerals. My analogy I created is it is like discerning how much motor oil you have in your car engine from your oil pressure gage/idiot light. There is no readily available/inexpensive mineral dipstick for the body's stores. I know there is hair analysis or under tongue scraping tests. I supplemented with all the minerals and the typical 99mg potassium pills. I had a turn-around in almost all my ailments and noticed when I took small multiples of the potassium pills I would have spurts of "wellbeing". I took a few days of Thirty to Forty 99mg potassium pills and noticed longer periods of sleep, better clarity, etc. I found this product and now take whatever I need to get around 5000mg total potassium a day. Typically, 3000 to 4000 mg a day in four 800-1000 doses dependent on my food/sodium intake. It is easy on my stomach and I, like many others, have developed a method that is not offensive. BTW, ALL my ailments and out of specification body metrics are gone with no Meds...hmmm?? One of the papers I read for a medical perspective was "New Guidelines for Potassium Replacement in Clinical Practice" by four MDs. My bottom line: We deplete our mineral stores as we age/stress. Good Health Takes Attention and Work.
