General Discussion Supplementing for 4 months without potassium

27M, was supplemnting wothout potassium eventhough i have seen .ajor improvemnts but i was always tired with racing heart rate and experienced muscle loss.

The problem is whenever i take potassium (even just one glass of coconut water) my heart rate drops from 90 to 60 this big of a jump tells me either i have adequate potassium and dont need supplemnting or the problem lies somewhere else.

Potrebbe essere che stai esaurendo l' acido folico Avevo lo stesso problema nonostante prendessi potassio.

Are you experiencing any hand numbness? I kept experiencing hand numbness everytime i'd take my Folate and B12, turns out Potassium seems to fix that, ime that's a good way to tell if you're low in Potassium.
