Shrinkatd,
I hope that Bethsheba's recommendation helps. I mix and match individual vitamins and minerals myself, so have no recommendation for you.

Bethsheba,
A coupla' thoughts come to mind.
First, it may be that as a result of certain preparations in the mixture, there is some small amount of potassium that results, and they are reporting it in the interests of
truthfulness. I believe that 2% of the RDA is the minimum amount (in foods and supplements) that qualifies as being significant enough to report on.
Second, it may be that they are trying to position themselves as providing a supplement that includes everything including the kitchen sink, and they are reporting it in the interests of
truthiness (as defined by Stephen Colbert).
Many people do not read or understand the RDA as listed on the package, and thus the manufacturer can sound like they're providing a lot of important stuff, when in actuality 2% of the RDA usually isn't significant to the person who ingests it (except for allergies and other sensitivities of course).
Different takes on the same topic.
