How much Potassium should you take?
SuppScore grades doses across evidence zones rather than against a single recommended figure. Scored information, not a recommendation.
- Zone 10 to 200 mg per dayLow dose
- Zone 2200 to 500 mg per dayGeneral maintenance dose
- Zone 3500 to 2000 mg per dayFor deficiency or elevated need
- Zone 43500 to 4700 mg per dayTherapeutic dose
- Zone 42000 to 3500 mg per dayTherapeutic dose
Zones describe what the evidence supports at a dose. They are not advice on what to take, and they do not replace a conversation with a doctor or pharmacist.
