For adults, 4700 mg per day is the normal need. But to lower blood pressure, you'll probably want to decrease your sodium intake at the same time as you get more (or enough) potassium. Fewer salty foods.

Do you need potassium to live?
Depends if you're from Kazahkstan or not.If not, you won't need that much.Hope that Helps!CobyGreyHe's right in that it depends on your lifestyle. If you drink a descent amount of water each day, you will not need as much potassium as someone who drinks soda all the time. If you use a water pill, or you sweat for a long period of time, on a regular basis, then most likely you will need more potassium to supplement the potassium that is being flushed out. I am diabetic, and use a water pill to help keep fluid retention at a minimum, therefore, I also have to take a 750mg potassium pill to replenish my potassium loss, or I get charlie horses (severely painful) in my sleep. Basically, if you drink as much water as you flush out, you will have the necessary potassium that your body requires.

Do bananas contain radioactive potassium?
Bananas are relatively high in potassium, but you need 4,700 mg of potassium per day and you'd have to eat about 11 bananas every day to get that. Potatoes are higher, at about 950 mg if you eat the skin as well. This all gets a lot harder if you're on a low/no carb diet. Eat Leafy green vegetables, red meat. Use No Salt (half salt/half potassium) and take a supplement. Very few humans can get all of what they need just from food every day.
How much potassium gluconate should you take for low potassium levels due to Hydrochlorathiamide?
If you are taking hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), the diuretic, it may cause you to excrete potassium in the urine that must then be replaced in the diet to keep your blood levels normal. Often doctors will suggest you include a high-potassium food each day, such as a banana or a glass of orange juice, or potatoes. If this does not keep your potassium blood level normal, then you may be prescribed a potassium supplement. How much YOU need depends on YOUR blood test (because it depends on how much HCTZ you are on and what amount of potassium is normally present in your diet). Your doctor will adjust your potassium supplement based on monitored blood tests to keep your blood potassium level within normal range. You should not try to take an amount that you guess will work based on what someone else takes. This needs to be a prescription from your MD!

How much poyassium should a 15 year old girl eat in a day?
I'm assuming you mean potassium (not "poyassium"). A banana a day should do the trick. But if you want to go a step further, here's a link that will display a chart with a bunch of different foods and their potassium content. http:/www.weightlossforall.com/potassium-rich-food.htm
If I eat a banana everyday, do I still need a potassium supplement?
Unless the rest of the food you eat through the rest of the day are completely devoid of potassium, you are getting small amounts of potassium through the other foods you eat throughout the day. So unless you are training like an Olympic athlete and eating nothing but Ding-Dongs and other junk, you probably aren't going to drop dead from a potassium deficiency if you don't take a potassium supplement.
