I think it all depends on where you CA/MG levels and ratios are in relation to your NA/K levels and ratios. If you have yet to get your CA/MG levels and ratios close to ideal then I think people will find issues with trying to work on the NA/K ratio and levels... hence supplementing with potassium. When I tried to incorporate supplements that raised by NA/K ratio and levels when my CA/MG levels and ratio were low I experienced increased anxiety and other such symptoms. Now my CA/MG levels are in order and my hypoglycemia is under control I have only seen benefits so far from supplementing with potassium and other supplements to raise my sodium levels. This is just my two sense from experience, hope this helps!
