Yes, cayenne does contain potassium, but every once in a while I can tell I need just a little bit more potassium than I'm getting from the cayenne. And I must admit, taking cayenne can be a chore. Usually the only sign I get that I need a little more potassium will be at night when I lay down. I don't take cayenne late because it is quite a stimulant. Someone may want to mention magnesium and the heart, but magnesium never phased my palpitations. Magnesium will instantly relieve me of any tightness of chest stress feelings, but I don't have those at all since I started on cayenne. I still take my magnesium though. I am presently up to a heaping half teaspoon of cayenne at least once daily and I try to do 2-3 times daily. DB

It is quite hot but not killer hot. The nutritional breakdown shows that the largest mineral listed is for potassium. If I mix a teaspoon in water and then drink it, since it is very coarsely ground, I can feel (crunch) and taste the salty crystalline potassium in the dregs...
