A member asked:
Could you tell me if someone tends to be hypokalemic, should they limit their salt intake?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Potassium is a salt. You don't need to restrict anything. You should supplement with potassium rich food or potassium pills if necessary. Consult a doctor to find out why you are hypokalemic.
