A member asked:
Could you tell me what are potassium supplements good for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Supplements: Potassium (k) supplements are available and can be used to supplement low serum k levels. You should see your doctor to see if you actually need supplemental k and, if so, why. You may have a loss of k via your kidneys due to medications or a magnesium deficit. See your physician in the office for the right answer to your question.
