Potassium Deficiency
Potassium is an essential mineral that you can get from foods like bananas, spinach, and salmon, as well as potassium supplements. Potassium is critical to many body functions, including nerve signaling, muscle contraction, and heartbeat and blood pressure regulation. It’s also important for moving nutrients into cells and removing waste from them.
The average adult needs 4700 milligrams (mg) of potassium per day, but 1600 to 2000 mg daily may be adequate for some.Your healthcare provider may recommend that you take a potassium supplement if you’re not meeting your daily requirement through food. However, getting too much potassium can also cause side effects, some common and some severe.

How Potassium Helps the Body
Some studies suggest that higher intakes of potassium may reduce the risk of diseases like high blood pressure andstroke,osteoporosis, kidney stones, and diabetes.
Regulates Blood Pressure and Reduces the Risk of Stroke
Because of potassium’s relationship to sodium, which regulates fluid and plasma volume, some research has focused on its ability to lowerblood pressureand stroke risk.
In an older but notable 2006 clinical trial, Dietary Approaches to Reduce Hypertension (DASH), published in theNew England Journal of Medicine, researchers evaluated whether a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy foods, and reduced saturated and total fat could lower blood pressure.It is frequently referred to as “theDASH diet,” an eating pattern that is higher in potassium and lower in sodium.
Researchers fed participants a controlled diet for three weeks. Then, they randomized people into a standard American diet (control), a fruit and vegetable diet, or a combination diet (the DASH diet) for eight weeks.
In addition, a 2016 review evaluated whether increased potassium intake could affect the risk of stroke.
FDA-Approved ClaimThe FDA has approved the following health claim relating to potassium: “Diets containing foods that are good sources of potassium and low in sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke.”
FDA-Approved Claim
The FDA has approved the following health claim relating to potassium: “Diets containing foods that are good sources of potassium and low in sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke.”
Improves Bone Health
Since potassium is alkaline (meaning it neutralizes acids), some scientists have evaluated whether the mineral could reduce the acidic content in a person’s diet and preserve calcium in bones.
One study from 2022 found that higher levels of potassium in the diet can improve bone health and help prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
Prevents Kidney Stones
Diets that are high in protein and low in potassium may contribute to increased stone formation. Therefore, some studies have examined whether potassium could reduce kidney stone risk.
In a 2016 study,researchers examined the relationship between protein and potassium intake in kidney stone formation.
They found that higher dietary potassium was associated with a statistically significant and considerable reduction in kidney stone risk in all groups. They also determined that the type of protein consumed may affect kidney stone risk—specifically, plant-based protein reduced risk compared to animal protein.
Regulates Blood Sugar
Potassium is needed for your body to produce insulin, a hormone that’s needed to controlglucose(blood sugar). Some research has focused on whether potassium can affectdiabetes.
A 2015 study evaluated the impact of potassium on glucose levels in older adults.Researchers found a significant association between lower dietary potassium intake, reduced insulin sensitivity, and increases in insulin secretion.
Similarly, a 2016 clinical trial evaluated potassium levels with glucose and diabetes risk over eight years.
Researchers found that compared to those with higher serum potassium levels (≥4.5mmol/L), those with lower blood levels (<4.0mmol/L) had significantly higher fasting glucose.
In addition, researchers found an inverse association between serum and dietary potassium and diabetes risk.
Eases Arthritis Symptoms
Researchers are looking at how potassium may help to reduce joint pain in rheumatoid arthritis. A 2024 study found that a potassium-rich vegetarian diet can help to reduce joint pain and improve RA symptoms. However, the researchers noted that further studies are needed to confirm the benefits.
Protects Against Lung Cancer
However, once the amount of potassium became excessive, it’s protective effect was weaker.
Supports Fertility
Getting the right amount of potassium can also affect your fertility. For males, there’s a correlation between the potassium content and sperm quality and motility. Males with infertility have been shown to have lower potassium levels than those who are fertile.
In females, potassium deficiency can lead to changes in the follicular fluid around the eggs, which can restrict their growth and lead to infertiity.
The health benefits of potassium include blood pressure regulation, blood glucose management, and bone health. You can usually get enough of it from your diet, and potassium deficiency is rare.
Potassium supplements can help those with low levels of potassium, especially those who aren’t able to improve it with dietary changes alone. You may need to take potassium supplements if you have:
Because they can create side effects, potassium supplements should generally be taken under the guidance of your healthcare provider.
More studies are needed to determine whether potassium supplements prevent or treat the following health conditions:
Types of Potassium Supplements
Potassium supplements come in capsules, tablets, liquid, and powder. Common potassium supplements include:
Research has shown that none of these forms is better than another.You may also find added potassium in products such as Emergen C (a powdered drink).
Most OTC potassium supplements and multivitamin-mineral supplements provide no more than about 99 mg of potassium per serving (which is a small percentage of the recommended intake).
In the past, the FDA ruled that some oral drug products that contain potassium chloride and provide more than 99 mg of potassium are not safe because they have been associated with small bowel lesions. As a result, the FDA requires a warning label about the potential for these lesions on some potassium salts that exceed 99 mg.
Read the labels of potassium products carefully, especially if you’re at risk forhyperkalemia. Also, if you are vegan or have allergies, read labels carefully for vegan or allergen-free products.
Possible Side Effects of Potassium Supplements
Common side effects of potassium supplementation include:
More rarely, potassium supplements can result in severe side effects. These most often occur in people who have high intakes and impaired kidney function or who take certain medications like ACE inhibitors and potassium-sparing diuretics.
Severe side effects include:
Let your healthcare provider know if you take more potassium supplements than recommended, as it can lead to potential toxicity.

How Much Potassium to Take
Always speak with a healthcare provider before taking a supplement to ensure that the ingredients and dosage are appropriate for your individual needs.
Age, sex, and pregnancy status determine how much potassium you should have per day. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) recommends the following adequate intakes (AIs) for potassium:
People with certain health conditions or taking some medications are at greater risk of severe side effects and drug interactions from potassium. This includes individuals with abnormal kidney function and those on potassium-sparing medications orACE inhibitors, typically used for treating high blood pressure. A complete list of medication interactions is included below.
Some medications can interact with potassium supplements. These include:
These medications can impact potassium in dangerous ways. Therefore, experts recommend monitoring potassium levels in people who take these drugs.
It is essential to carefully read the ingredient list and nutrition facts panel of a supplement to know which ingredients are included and in what amounts. In addition, please review the supplement label with your healthcare provider to discuss potential interactions with foods, other supplements, and medications.
Food Sources of Potassium
According to the USDA nutrition database, the following are foods high in potassium:
Fruits high in potassium include bananas, oranges, avocados, cantaloupe, and kiwifruit. And don’t overlook dried fruit. One cup of dried apricots, for example, contains about 1,500 milligrams of potassium.
If finding fresh food is challenging, know that frozen vegetables and fruits can be just as high in nutrients as they’re preserved at peak freshness. To preserve the potassium in your cooked food, try to avoid using very high heat.
Some processed and packaged foods contain added potassium salts or naturally occurring potassium (such as dried beans and whole grains).
Be mindful of the labels if you need to monitor your potassium intake. Most ingredient labels will list “potassium chloride” as an additive.
Symptoms of Potassium Deficiency
You may not even know if you have a mild potassium deficiency. However, more severe deficiency can result inhypokalemia. Mild hypokalemia may produce symptoms such as:
More serious hypokalemia may produce the following symptoms:
Severe hypokalemia is life-threatening due to its effect on the heart and breathing. Fortunately, severe cases rarely occur because of inadequate potassium intake alone. However, if you notice any of these symptoms, it’s best to have them evaluated.
Summary
Potassium is a mineral that supports many body functions, including the heart and blood vessels, nerves, and muscles. There is evidence that potassium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, and kidney stones.
