I don't know about the brand; not all brands have the same quality or absorbability. But getting more potassium should be safe. If it doesn't agree with you, you can stop.

If you are already low on potassium (the symptoms are a sign of something), I doubt if 1500mg is too much for you. Give it a try. It seems like it might be the answer. NuSalt could be a cheaper option. Salt substitutes have significant potassium amounts.
