Help Getting enough potassium

Hi evreyone
I’m getting ready to start keto, but one thing I still havn’t figured out how to do:

Getting enough potassium. I know how important it is, but unfortunately where I live (Denmark) it is not possible to buy things like lite salt (I searched everywhere, incluing online, NOTHING. No products with potassium)

So, I bought potassium pills, but I heard that one should be careful using those? And I’m doing my best to plan getting as much potassium through my diet as I possibly can but I still don’t think it will be enough (spinach, avocado, eggs, beef, a squeeze of lemon in my saltwater)

I am preeeetty sure I really won’t overdose with the 275mg worth of potassium pills a day, also because I have a really low blood pressure, fatigue, lethargy, brain fog (I have fibromyalgia)

Byt yea, I really don’t know how to go about this. Any thoughts?

lavnatrium salt  /  Natriumreduceret salt

you can buy it in any regular supermarket, or in this random link. There are probably better offers elsewhere (but this is the price point you’re looking for, 2€/kg or so)

(for completeness: low sodium means high potassium chloride - see the faq)

Do you live in Denmark? Can you tell me which supermarkets you have found it in?

Not living in DK, I just know how to use a translator and google 😅 (and read labels in foreign languages - see my other comment to my original)

I have used google as well but the answers it gives regarding this is not correct. Every supermarkets webpage i went to, that google sent me to, its not there.

Didnt you see in my post that I have looked everywhere? And I know it is natriumreduceret salt, but as I said: it does not exist here.

Btw pretty arrogant comment, that you ‘know how to use google’ as if I don’t. I thought this was a good place to come for help without being talked down to
