A lot of people are already walking around with a potassium deficiency and don’t even know it. The symptoms are common and often blamed on other things—fatigue, muscle weakness, cramps, heart palpitations, and even constipation. You might not realize that certain supplements, while beneficial in their own right, can exacerbate this problem. This doesn’t mean these supplements are inherently bad, but it does mean you need to be smarter about how you use them. You need to be mindful of their effect on your potassium levels and perhaps even increase your potassium intake to maintain a healthy balance.
