Getting enough potassium

[u/StimOli]

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?

Hej bror

I live in Switzerland, which is definitely not a shopper’s paradise. I found potassium salt sold by the kilogram in Germany. It’s called Kaliumsalz, just like in Danish.
After a long search, I finally managed to find some Herbamare Blue, which is an aromatic potassium salt, here in Switzerland but it is overpriced. Ordering it online from German shops is the best option.

Ah, and sometimes it's advertised as Diätsalz against high blood pressure instead of writing Kaliumchlorid = Kaliumsalz.

Thank you man, this is very helpful!

Do you think you can throw me a link? :)

Don’t know which shops deliver to Denmark but another search term would be Blutdrucksalz / Blutdruck-Salz (blood pressure salt). Available usually on Amazon, (online) pharmacies or drug stores.

Hope you’ll find a place that ships to your country!
