Do others know if one banana a day is enough potassium? I would think so' date=' but want to hear from others on it.[/quote']

A medium banana contains about 411mg of potassium or 11% rda.

My preferred source for potassium is coconut Water

16oz can = 700mg (20%rda) and like banana, it's a real food source and not a supplement.

What is your preferred coconut water product? I have been drinking vitacoco while on vacation this last week (excellent post workout) and considered ordering it from Amazon until I read the reviews. Next I checked out Nirvana Coconut water which has much better reviews on Amazon. Before committing to a product and even to a subscription, I want to make sure I am getting the best product and it is economical. I cannot order cold coconuts ( had one this week) so will settle for product as long as it is good quality and close to drinking out of an actual coconut.

This is the one I use. My only problem is that I have to order 5-6 cases a month.

I think the old lady likes them more than me.

Sort of tempted to order from amazon, but again some horrid reviews. They also talk about added sugar and other things (chloride?)

If you have a Price Cutter local to you they stock this one. Just look at the label, the one I order is just coconut Water, but they do make some with sugar & pulp.

Great - thanks for the local tip. Perhaps even costco carries it.

I was getting those little "almost blackouts" until I started taking potassium 2 weeks ago. All gone.

I still get these whenever standing up from a seated position. Used to it now. My take is that as long as I do not completely fade to black, I am a-ok.

Are you just taking over the counter potassium??

I drink Vitamin Water Zero "Revive" flavor. It has 880mg of potassium per bottle. It's the only flavor I've found with a significant amount of potassium in it.

my doctor gave me a perscription.

Been there. Done that!

If we are supposed to get approx. 4000 mg of potassium a day, I can't understand how it is possible to get it from food/drink given how little we eat. Does anyone keep track of how much they get a day?
