A doctor has provided 1 answer
Foods better choice: Potassium citrate can be used to treat hypokalemia, if prescribed by a doctor. Generally foods such as bananas can provide enough potassium to maintain normal levels. You may consult this site for information: https://www.kidney.org/atoz/content/potassium
