Vitamin c and potassium need

Finally being able to go high in vitamin c in order to support my adrenals with the most acceptable form of vitamin c at least for my body(can not tolerate plane ascorbic acid in high quantity). I am using magnesium ascorbate with bioflavonoids up to 5g daily and it is going good so far.

However I am noticing and intense increase need in potassium same as when I supported methylation cycle with freddds dead lock quartet. I am wondering if the support that vitamin c is providing for my adrenals is causing detox and then detox increases the need for potassium or maybe I am dumping potassium? This is weird. Or could it be just nerve healing as what freddd has mentioned numerous times.
