Re: Lugols Solution, Gout and Thank You

Potassium tablets are ok and cheap but only come in 99mg. They can upset stomach so you end up taking them only with meals and personally I couldnt tolerate more than 3 per meal and even that sometimes upset my stomach.

Logging my food for a while I realized I needed to supplement a couple thousand extra a day so it wasnt very practical but the best I could do for a while.

Then when I added vitamin C to my regimen I discovered potassium ascorbate (4000mg ascorbate/700mg potassium per teaspoon) and its a great way to get vit C and potassium. I take 2 servings of that a day, sometimes more on workout days and then use ascorbic acid for the rest of my vit C needs (currently taking about 15-20 grams a day). Tweet
