I am just learning about hypertension and potassium (as far as I've learned and still learning) it is one of the Fab. 4 that is the Electrolyte family. We need these 4 in balance in our bodies to help prevent hypertension. you ask when is it 'dangerous in pill form' that I can't say as the question is not clear enough and I am not qualified enough to say. Though from what I have read and how I want to go on 'alternative rather than conventional -once I've read it all- potasium is one of the 4 that I want to balance along with calcium, magnesium and hey SODIUM because without these 4 we cannot function!!! Potasium is a chemical that we need to help maintain the normal heart functioning of the heart and nervous system. Potasium restriction can be associated with sodium retention and with calcium depletion. You will find that the best way to get potasium is through the food that you eat and balance that, with the other foods for the FAB 4. Potassium in pill form may not get you to a 'dangerous amount' what ever that is!! If you really need to know about potassium get on the inernet and looking at all the trials in the USA; Australia: UK, root around and find out for your self about potassium as it is part of us and is something that we need to know about.

Is potassium intake dangerous?

Elemental potassium reacts violently with water producing potassium hydroxide, which is caustic. Potassium ions (from potassium compounds, which are more common than elemental potassium) can be toxic and are in fact used in lethal injections in the form of potassium chloride. However, we need a certain amount of potassium ions in order to survive at all.
