Aside from taking a potassium supplement, how can I get sufficient K each day? I have hypertension so am very interested in this glorious element.

One banana has 10% daily value, approximately. I don't wanna eat so many bananas. Apricots have a fuckton but are only like 30%. I don't want to eat 3 apricots daily or anything like that. Buying so much fruit gets expensive (either monetarily or calorically if I eat 10 bananas, that shit's like 800 calories or a thousand just to get my K). Same goes with potatoes.

So, anyone here actually pay attention to their nutrient intake as closely as I do and have some tips for getting K? My one-a-day vitamin only has like 10% daily value or 20%.

Oh, correction, my vitamin doesn't have /any/ K in it. I'm leaning toward just buying a K supplement, but I'd be interested in food-related methods as well.

Otherwise, does anyone else take a K supplement and have any suggestions that don't cost an arm and a leg?

I just looked, my multi only has 2% potassium. If apricots are so rich in it, I'd say it's advantageous to grow your own apricots. 3x day is pretty good seeing as how they are so small. Two bites and that's one apricot.

Thanks for the input. I actually just looked up in the US govt's database of foods and it says 1 apricot is only 95mg of K per fruit. This is significantly lower than some other site I was basing my earlier statements on. "3 apricots" should instead read "35 apricots." That's a lotta apricots.

I think I'm going to look for a K supplement when I head to HEB for groceries in a few minutes.

Wow, yeah, in that case it's probably best to supplement.

Just got back from HEB. Fuck. All the supplements were 3% RDI of K. So much for that shit. Is there a worry of overdose toxicity that encourages supplement manufacturers to make such weak K supplements?
