Best Answer

Normal plasma level of potassium is 4.5 m osm/ litre. But the intracellular level of potassium is 150 m osm/ litre. You have double the stock of potassium in your body as compared to sodium. You do not have to take the supplement of potassium as every cell you eat has enough potassium in it, whether plant or animal.

What can you eat to lower your potassium?

Thank you for the correction. See link and article information below. ------ Correction: I'm not sure, metabolically you have correctly answered this. I'm not a doctor or anything even remotely close but what I can tell you is that sodium and potassium do cause reactions but not as stated above. Low sodium levels cause High potassium and High sodium Levels cause Low potassium. If a person has be diagnosed with HIGH potassium then greater than 5.0 mg then they should go to their doctor. There are many things that can contribute to high potassium so I would verify this first. here are some articles to back my information: http://charles_w.tripod.com/blood.html http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/potassium-k-in-blood?page=2
