Do you have a GNC in or near the town that you live? Some great potassium supplements include - Nature's Science Potassium, Jamieson Potassium, Solaray Potassium and Universal Potassium.

You can also use "No Salt" (salt substitute). I put just a pinch in a glass of water and stir. Don't over take potassium.

There are high traces of potassium in fruit so adding a potassium supplement may result in an overdose. But it's only a possibility. Taking too much potassium can result in an upset stomach, flatulence, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and burping. An excessive amount of potassium can result in a heart attack. It is hard though to overdose, so I recommend you take a potassium supplement ONLY if you don't get enough in your diet.
