3500 mg
Large doses may cause stomach upsets, intestinal problems or heart rhythm disorder
White meats, root vegetables, and fresh fruit, along with dairy are good sources of potassium

^No, we have to level the potassium in our body. Too much potassium can lead to kidney problems and blood clotting.

That’s why we need to balance each nutrients and vitamins we take. Too much of something can sometimes harm the body. Best to go to a nutritionist to have a balance diet plan.
