Bioavailable magnesium, calcium and potassium???

Messages

My GP advised me to try liquid bioavailable potassium, calcium, magnesium and
sodium, in order to titrate.

Would like to hear what you are taking, and if it made a difference.

Do you know what form(s) the liquid bioavailable minerals are in? Especially the potassium.

I have (low) normal blood potassium, but very low tissue potassium. I know this is a symptom of ME/CFS. Nonetheless, I am hoping to find some forms of potassium that is better at getting into the cells than others.

If you take a powdered form of these minerals and dissolve it in water (or in my case, herbal tea), does that count as liquid? I'm using all three in my home-made electrolyte drink. No idea whether they qualify as "bioavailable", though, I'm guessing that term is somewhat a matter of opinion.
