supplements and other things.
And....... I would not take 1000 mg per dose.

I can't tell anyone to take as much as I have. I've been told I tend to
test limits and take things to the extreme. All I can tell you is that
the only downside I had to swallowing 1000 mg. in one dose, on an empty
stomach is that it sent me to the bathroom. Taking 500 to 600 mg. at a
time does not.
Seems very interesting to me that there are no maximum dosage warnings
on a container of NoSalt (Salt Alternative), which is sold over the
counter in grocery stores. That is potassium chloride at 650 mg. per
1/4 teaspoon. Do you realize how quickly and easily one can sprinkle
this stuff to make a quarter teaspoon or more? There is only one
warning on the bottle, but that is directed at those with heart or
kidney disease, advising them to consult a doctor before consuming,
probably because those with heart disease are already prescribed
pharmaceutical potassium, and kidney disease causes an excess amount of
potassium circulating in the blood. But, for the rest of us, it is
apparently safe to sprinkle 'freely'. So, if someone sits down and eats
a meal of 2 or 3 potatoes sprinkled with NoSalt (potassium chloride),
almonds, black strap molasses, a couple of bananas and some OJ, they
would be consuming WAY more than even 1500 mg. of potassium within,
maybe 20 minutes?! I never took that much that quickly, but I bet some
have and do without even realizing it, and with no negative effect.
