Yes, potassium can affect stool color, but it is not the primary cause of dark green or black stools. Dark green stools can result from consuming foods high in chlorophyll, such as leafy greens, or supplements. Black stools may indicate bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract or could be caused by certain medications or iron supplements. If you notice persistent changes in stool color, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
