I've been having a horrible time trying to stay on top of my K needs. Two days ago I started having extra low K symptoms-dreadful neck and shoulder muscle pain, itching, twitching muscles. I try and attack K from a variety of directions, food, potassium chloride in my own recipe electrolyte drink (No Salt with potassium chloride and a small amount of sodium chloride, D-ribose, Vitamin C, Creatine and liquid L-carnitine in a solution of water kefir and filtered water) as well as foot baths with potassium gluconate.
I supplement magnesium orally with mag glycinate and in foot baths with mag sulfate. I supplement calcium orally.
I'm in the middle of a dump of water from my body. I put on about 3kg overnight when I was ramping up my methylfolate dosage a couple weeks ago and have dropped 1.3kg of it over the last two days, which is no doubt making the potassium problem worse.
I get a minimum of 2g everyday from each electrolyte drink, plus food, plus 3-4 grams in the foot bath. I'm on my second electrolyte drink of the day, as the itching which had gone has come back and I've got muscle twitching starting up again. Neck and shoulder still hurt like the devil.
I'm currently on 1 squirt/day of the B12 Me/Ad oil, 9.6mg Metafolin in divided doses, 1000mg of LCF in liquid form, B-complex plus C (no folic acid or B12), 1000g Carlson's Fish Oil, Vitacost Multi-mineral, zinc drops, moly drops, Lugol's iodine (2 drops), 400mg Mag Glycinate, 500mg Silica and 100mg CoQ10.
Anything I'm missing or should it just be more of same with the K?
