I watched your video and I'm using Willow Bark. It might take 20 to 25 visits to the Chiropractor, whatever it's going to take. I'm also fasting this is day 4, I'm trying for a 7 day, just pray I can do it! God Bless You and ALL Your Family Dr. Berg FOREVER AMEN🙏

Homegrown Swiss Chard, Beet Tops, & Spinach (in smoothies form/ take note Dark greens) started giving me calcium oxylate build up/PAIN in my shoulders...and sharp pain & burning when urinating. Got it reversed before full blown kidney stones. I will stick with Avocados and supplementing with Potassium chloride ( not Citrate as apparently the Now version is sourced from fermentation off/ from corn source of some type)
I am forever grateful for the help you give me every day. I have learned so much by watching your videos and my health did a 180 --thank you Dr Berg 🤗🤗🤗
I’m low in this ! Thank you for sharing I’m going to do this your awesome changed my life I’m so many ways! Thank you so glad I came across you. I stoped eating grains, sugar, eating once a day. Fasting my life is starting to getting better slowly but man life changer I’m so grateful for your videos. Thank you so much! I love fresh salmon 🍣 twice a week, and I’m in low potassium and this has helped me feel better and sleep better and cut all alcohol out and I only drink half a cup of coffee a day now as to 20 oz a day I’m so happy with my results: I’m even getting me brown fog gone. Thank you so much Dr Berg
Interesting! In plants over 97% of the potassium is in the plant sap EXCEPT when the plant starts filling fruit with nutrients.. then the fruit (or grain or whatever) is acting like a 1 way gateway as potassium is carrying the sugars and nutrients to the fruit. I see a lot of correlations with plants and humans on a nutritional level. Thanks Dr Berg!
I just started gym 1 week ago and I am not getting any pump and not feeling the muscle and then I think something is missing but today I found Dr. Eric berg sirs video which helps me a lot.. thank you sir..
Thank you Doctor for being so clear in presenting the information about possible potassium and sodium deficiencies and their ratio. The recommended daily intake of potassium would be 4700mg/day. What should be the desirable values in blood? the normal range depends on the laboratory. but the normal range does not tell us what would be desirable. Thanks again. Your channel is very good.
Yea.. Keto fatigue.. I was wondering if that applies to me. It's true that i eat 'normal' food from time to time. No sugars, just starches and can tell you that that spiking insulin alone gets me to sleep like crazy.. edit: from what i've heard, sodium makes muscles contract, pottasium helps with muscle release
Years ago I was diagnosed with severe hypokalemia and I'm now trying my best to get plenty potassium while doing Keto. I'm trying to keep the stress levels low and alcohol consumption virtually nonexistent. Searching for tips and advice.
Hey Dr. Berg I am sure you have had this question asked many times. When I check a patients BMP OR CMP and their potassium is usually within normal range, how does that correlate with this masses of potassium deficiency? When potassium is within normal limits with a low potassium diet? Also could you do a video on normal lab values with vitamin deficiencies?
In sourdough, the lactic acid produced by the fermentation itself, produce an enzyme called phytase, which 'pre-digests' the phytic acid during fermentation. Do we know if that eliminates the possibility of phytic acid acting negatively towards our body after we digest sourdough bread? I consume homemade sourdough bread I make myself at 30%-40% wholegrain rye and the rest very strong white bread flour unfortified, and in a moderate to low overall consumption. I would appreciate any feedback from the Doc! Keep up the good work!
Something worth saying on minerals and especially Potassium; it is much active to consume Potassium in solidity than electrolyte drinks. So adding vegetables, cruciferous plants, meats - will allow the Potassium to absorb into the bloodstream much faster and remain within the body longer - especially while it sits in your gastrointestinal tract. Liquid forms of Potassium passes through the body within minutes and normally helps for a little while.
What is the difference between potassium gluconate vs potassium chloride? And which one is better to take daily? I get daily morning headaches and daily tight muscle tension in my neck and upper back (constant stress), once in a while spasms in the foot/calf.
Could you please tell me how much potassium you take to lower your BP and what brand as well! My BP is very high and I get scared I would like to bring it down naturally! Thankyou in advance!
@@christinedarnell3520 For men 4,700mg; for women 3,400mg. I get the bulk powder in the Potassium Orotate because it has great absorption. It's hard to mix with water and taste like pure crap, but it mixes well with ACTIVIA.
I am sure that I am not the only one who really like to have a video covers what mineral / vitamins to take together and what to avoid combining them at the same time, it would be most appreciated to create such a video
I’ve been watching your channel for a very long time and love the way you explain things in a simplified way. (PS the beard makes you look years older when I have always thought how young you look. Just my opinion)
So, let me ask you this. I've heard that too much potassium can be harmful. I have thought about sypplimenring potassium but since hearing possible harmful side effects, I've steered clear. Can you over dose on potassium? Thanks
Darn near impossible to overdose unless you are trying to kill yourself. Ive been fighting low potassium my whole life ended up in the hospital twice because it was so low. I started taking potassium bulk powder haven't had any issues. I take 5000mg a day of potassium (via Potassium Gluconate) If you take too much your body will just urinate it out. So unless you take like a pound of it at once you are fine.
Yes. It's the ratio between sodium/potassium that's most important but its very possible to get too much of potassium or sodium in the blood from labs and symptoms I've seen.
If you take a large bolus of potassium - say a full teaspoon worth of KCl, that may be enough to push your blood K levels up to dangerous levels. The kidneys are really good at preemptively excreting potassium as you consume it to keep the blood levels within normal range. Small doses of potassium salt such as 1/4 tsp in 16 oz of water won't be any issue. Food sources are no problem either since they take longer to break down and hence the potassium is time-released. Kidney diseases impair excretion, causing accumulation. Some diuretics called "potassium-sparing diuretics" will contribute to high blood potassium. Overall, yes an OD is possible if you have kidney disease, take certain diuretics, or consume a large bolus (think of a teaspoon of potassium salt). Food sources are the best way.
Some of the best foods filled with Potassium Dr. Berg: 1. Beet Greens/Swiss Chard 2. Salmon/Tilapia 3. Cannellini/Lima Beans 4. Avocados 5. Acorn Squash 6. Coconut Water 7. Mushrooms 8. Kiwis 9. Tomatoes 10. Cantaloupe Have a beautiful day everyone! ✝️
When it comes to whole grains, I always soak my steel cut oats overnight and rinse them a couple of times the following morning, this will reduce the phytic acid that block mineral absorption.Graet video as always Dr. Berg
I wished you had a video more about Addison’s disease and how to treat it. I wish you could look into that. It would really be a help for us to have Addison’s disease really would appreciate more videos.
Best source of potassium is cream of tarter. No one really cooks with it anymore. Even 1/4 teaspoon added to your one glass of water a day makes a huge difference . Thank you for all you Do!
please dr can you make a video for help people in withdrawal of antidepressants ? i love all your video , i try actually nutritional yeast ,adrenal cocktail,magnesium, potassium with big big salad. please
I do take your Electrolytes powder during summer when I exercise a lot doing strenuous yardwork and gardening, and I notice a huge difference. In reality, I need to take it daily because I am feeling low on energy, my muscles seem weak, and I know I'm not getting enough potassium in my food. THANK YOU for the reminder! 🤗
Just ordered. I had bad muscle pain/spasms in my lower back - doctor gave me muscle relaxers which did nothing. I started taking extra potassium and the back problem was gone. I made sure to let my doctor know potassium was the answer not drugs.
Can you please tell me how much of the potassium are you taking daily? I have bad muscle cramps and pain in back, shoulders and feet. I also have sciatica and Planter' Fashia
Am on a diet because I have been watching your videos. I am waking up always tired and during the day. Is there anything I can do or do you think there is any underlying problems I may have? Thanks
Can we say every vitamin has life changing benefits? Every day I see videos like Amazing Benefits of Potassium, Magnesium, Vitamin C, D, A, K etc., Iodine etc.
Thanks Dr. Berg for this very helpful video! I am going to get me some Potassium 😊. I've been taking magnesium for awhile now before I go to bed and it helps with insomnia. May I take these together or should I take one in the morning and one in the evening?
Hey Doc, the Mayo Clinic states this: Heart disease-The sodium in sodium-containing citrates may cause the body to retain (keep) water; the potassium in potassium-containing citrates may make heart disease worse, Can you do a show on this?
I agreed it's important story & I can't deny the fact that taking potassium improved the situation in somebody's health !!! But what happened if someone gets too much ??? It would be all right??? Please emphasize that !!!
@@heygetoffmylawn1572 Essentially you are incorrect as the doc does NOT promote his products in every video. Watch more videos before making such statements. Phooey.
@@heygetoffmylawn1572 Who cares? The doc needs to make a buck just like everyone else. As far as his prices he`s not selling low quality vitamins and supplements made in china by prisoners/slaves thus the higher prices.People pay for that quality and if some can`t afford it well that`s their tough luck. The doc also gives his advisement out for any and all to enjoy for FREE with millions following him and showing their appreciation...myself included.. Why do you even come here kicking up dirt? What have you contributed to society besides showing your juvenile anger and jealousy? Dismissed.
Dear Dr. Berg. This question is important to me that's why i would like to have an answer from an expert like u. Does potassium get lost while ejaculation?
There is cheap way to supliment with potassium and avoid stomach problems. Buy salt replacement that is 75% potassium and use that on your food. Easy. Also eat some leafy greens you will get used to them after a while. :D
You are looking really good, Boy! That beard suits you amazingly well! I am taking LoSalt, has 66% Potassium Cloride salt. I mix that with himalaya salt. Much Love, Karsten
Dr Berg you are the BEST!!! Without your guidance I could never find my answer to my questions about my health from my Doctor! I find that stunning my Doctor does not have answers! And you have it!
@@Drberg I am ecstatic that you see my comment right away and respond to it, I am hoping that I can speak to you directly as I have so many questions, I attended the live event online every Friday but didn’t get lucky but I learned something and get information with what I don’t know. I wonder why your product is not sold in Amazon Canada?
Hi dr berg thank you for this video . The other cause of potassium deficiency can be due to a genetic rate syndromes called : Gitelman syndrome and barter syndrome . I have gitelman syndrome which require me to take potassium and magnesium daily . Those videos helps a lot with nutrition supplements .
Late to the comments as usual BUT I wanted to share an interesting experience I have every summer with my salt water pool. I'm SOOOOO glad I found this information as the salt water pool gave my husband and I terrible leg cramps while in the pool! Bummer huh? I didn't think to use potassium to counter it!! Boy I know what to do this year!! I'm going to take potassium citrate and put it mixed with water in a spray bottle with some magnesium and put that on after swimming. Chlorine also depletes vital minerals so it's a good idea with either type of pool. Oh and I can concur completely with this list of benefits! Totally experience all of these.
Thank you for all of your videos! I'm recovering from an abusive relationship of 31 years. I am 4 years out now and thankful to Jesus that I'm still alive. I have had shingles, covid and a hysterectomy and my father died . This happened all this year. Now I'm dealing with my hair falling out in clumps. I also have Epstein barr virus and fibromyalgia so it's very difficult to exercise. I'm trying to get healthy but I'm on foodstamps and disabled from ex- husband. Any suggestions for me would be awesome. I'm 54 years old. I just started multi vitamins, iron and hair,skin and nail vitamins. I was hemorrhaging after menopause and that's what caused me to have to get a hysterectomy
I'm so sorry you have so many overwhelming issues. I think the best thing would be to build a foundation of eating nothing but healthy foods. I understand cost issue with foodstamps but if you can eat a huge salad (7-10 cups organic if possible) and lots of pastured eggs EVERY DAY it will do wonders for you. The key is to get as many nutrients from quality food as possible rather than expensive supplements which vary widely in quality. Having said that, you're smart to boost your health by taking B Complex vitamin supplements that include Biotin for skin, nails and hair. Also VERY important are vitamins D3 and K2 (see Dr. Bergs many videos on that subject) and trace minerals. I know it's tempting to buy cheap frozen dinners and processed foods but you just won't get good nutrition from them. Wishing you great success and health!
@@Sebi1998 Walking daily might be all she can do at beginning. Even if that's difficult just try to keep moving around the house. Don't spend all day on the sofa
Doc if possible, would you be able to recommend a potassium supplement? I used to take your electrolyte powder for years, but I have recently developed a corn allergy and have bad reactions to the citric acid in the powder. ☹️ It's heart breaking because it was a part of my daily routine. Please and thank you. ❤️
Take potassium citrate powder from Now Foods. I take it for years and it's not expensive Also, potassium from Gerson Therapy is great but in Europe is extremely expensive
Another benefit is for autistic kid. It helps my autistic kid with ADHD, cognitive, overall health. I made soup out of purple cabbage, beets, cauliflower, and ground grass-fed beef, sea salt. Simple and easy.
This makes sense I have high BP and I am constipated and dehydrated my lips are and mouth is dry I don't feel thristy though! My doctor want to put me on meds I said no I will try something natural! So I will try this potassiumto see if I get any relief!
I was just asking my friends if they knew a good all-encompassing electrolyte support drink. I am thankful for finding this video right when I needed it! I am 100% getting your electrolyte support drink mix, I did the math on your 100 servings version and it is SO much cheaper than all of the many supplements I am taking! I have high hopes for it, I bet I’m deficient in a bunch of the trace minerals as well since I barely eat any leafy greens!
Another awesome & informative video, Dr. Berg! I just ordered your electrolyte variety pack...Can't wait to try the different flavors! And I will definitely be increasing my intake of Potassium-rich foods.
Dr.. this is for my husband I’m writing ..☹️ He has terrible allergies with chronic sneezing and cough.. He takes Claritin .. oral inhaling puffs as well… it’s so sad to see him losing his sleep at night with 100 or more times sneezing under 3-4 mins… & coughing a lot & finally almost losing his voice… Plz suggest some help …plzzzz🙏🏽 Thx..
I love listening to Dr Bergs. I haven't tried keto because l stopped eating meat 3 years ago, I wasnt sure how my body would cope without it but my body copes very well, l do know some people's bodies need meat. I have bloods taken on a regular basis and so far l'm showing no signs of any deficiencies but listening to this makes me think l am definitely deficient because l tick all the symptoms, brain fog, cramps, etc. I have suffered from extreme leg cramps four or more times a night due to a back operation on my L4 and L5 discs l had 15 years ago. No one really knows why l get them. Specialists say it might be scar tissue thats causing them, others say lack of magnesium but noone really knows, l have tried many different things l have even tried sleeping with a bar of soap at the foot of my bed, its amazing what you can find on google in the middle of the night.. l've taken good quality magnesium but it hasn't worked, nothing has worked to date. It was only recently when l heard Dr Berg mention potassium can help with cramps my ears pricked up, l needed to know more. With all the years of research this is the first time l have ever heard potassium can help so l became very intrigued to know more. l recently had an appointment with a dietitian at a hospital to discuss my cramps and I mentioned that l came across Dr Bergs videos and he mentions the importance of increasing potassium if you have cramps etc, as many people are deficient and dont even know it.. The first thing she said "too much potassium can be dangerous" and the second thing she said " be extremely cautious taking on any advice from a person putting up health advice on youtube"...To be honest l did walked away from my dietitians appointment feeling disillusioned. I used to believe dietitians were the answer but from my experience its as though everyone is under the same umbrella. We are individuals and our needs are different too everyone else. I'm very open to trying potassium but l also dont want to cause any more health issues than l already have. (I was diagnosed with blood cancer - Non Hodgkin's one year ago and l'm now in remission, so it's important l do the right thing. I refused to get the jab because l trusted my body needed to heal first , there were other reasons for not getting it but that was my main reason. I'm glad l refused because l have heard others that were in remission are no longer, coincidence , l guess we will never know 🤷♀️) l do have an appointment with a highly regarded naturopath, so l will be interested to see her take on taking extra potassium 🤞... lm willing to try anything as long as it has benefits for my health... On a different topic, I've seen many youtube videos of people recommending zinc to help boost the immune system. Yes, there are many benefits of taking zinc but noone has ever mentioned that taking zinc long term can cause health issues. You should always have a break when taking zinc! I highly recommend doing research and for anyone promoting the benefits of taking supplements or increasing certain vitamins or minerals, they should include the health risks of overdosing, it's called a duty of care.
A simple solution, take a calcium,magnesium and zinc supplement. I take a simple one,from Walmart(spring valley brand) .then eat a couple bananas a day,for potassium. Good luck.
Eat some meat.... there is no point in excluding meat. You need it, eat all the plants you want, but eat meat too. No wonder you have so many issues, your body isnt getting all the essential amino acids to make DNA
Dear Dr.Eric Berg,thank you for sharing useful information,which changed my life styles.I'm a cyclist.I usually ride my bike 50 km once or twice a week.Long time ago I used to have something sweet or a chocolate the half of my tour,which gave me more energy.I've been fasting for 6months.My eating period is from 10a.m. to 5p.m.,but I often go for riding late afternoon,or evening.When I arrive at home after cycling I need something to eat.What 's your advice?I can't postpone my breakfast,because of my job.Thank you in advance.Peter
This Dr Berg has helped me so much. I've lost over 60pounds on Keto and has spread the word to my children and anybody I can come and contact with about his channel. This doctor tells us stuff that the average doctor does not let you know about. Thank you so much Dr Berg I appreciate all that you do.🙏🙏🙏
Wonderful! Congratulations! Dr. Berg would love to hear about your success with Keto! Please use this link to upload your story: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story Dr. Berg's Support Team.
Let's not exaggerate that potatoes or fruit have a lot of carbohydrates - 100 grams of fruit / potatoes have up to 16 grams of carbohydrates, 100 grams of oatmeal about 65 grams.
He is not lying about the potassium and energy. I started supplementing with potassium and my energy levels sky rocketed. I was still trying to be lazy, so all that extra energy was a pain in the butt. I actually cut back bc I was too damn energetic. I had my potassium/sodium pumps working at full capacity.
@@kimmilberg7867 Not really. You might reduce it in broccoli if you boil it a long time and throw out the water. 3 oz of spinach has almost a gram of oxalate. It's toxic. Lookup how Liam Hemsworth went to the hospital from daily spinach smoothies.

Thank you Doctor for being so clear in presenting the information about possible potassium and sodium deficiencies and their ratio. The recommended daily intake of potassium would be 4700mg/day. What should be the desirable values in blood? the normal range depends on the laboratory. but the normal range does not tell us what would be desirable. Thanks again. Your channel is very good.
Yea.. Keto fatigue.. I was wondering if that applies to me. It's true that i eat 'normal' food from time to time. No sugars, just starches and can tell you that that spiking insulin alone gets me to sleep like crazy.. edit: from what i've heard, sodium makes muscles contract, pottasium helps with muscle release
Your daily videos help me a lot to stay on my healthy diet and IF. Thanks Dear Dr. Berg.
Happy to help!
Years ago I was diagnosed with severe hypokalemia and I'm now trying my best to get plenty potassium while doing Keto. I'm trying to keep the stress levels low and alcohol consumption virtually nonexistent. Searching for tips and advice.
Parsley has potassium. You'll have to research what ratio of Magnesium is needed, along with potassium.
Hey Dr. Berg I am sure you have had this question asked many times. When I check a patients BMP OR CMP and their potassium is usually within normal range, how does that correlate with this masses of potassium deficiency? When potassium is within normal limits with a low potassium diet? Also could you do a video on normal lab values with vitamin deficiencies?
In sourdough, the lactic acid produced by the fermentation itself, produce an enzyme called phytase, which 'pre-digests' the phytic acid during fermentation.
Do we know if that eliminates the possibility of phytic acid acting negatively towards our body after we digest sourdough bread?
I consume homemade sourdough bread I make myself at 30%-40% wholegrain rye and the rest very strong white bread flour unfortified, and in a moderate to low overall consumption.
I would appreciate any feedback from the Doc! Keep up the good work!
Something worth saying on minerals and especially Potassium; it is much active to consume Potassium in solidity than electrolyte drinks. So adding vegetables, cruciferous plants, meats - will allow the Potassium to absorb into the bloodstream much faster and remain within the body longer - especially while it sits in your gastrointestinal tract. Liquid forms of Potassium passes through the body within minutes and normally helps for a little while.
It's so refreshing to see that someone has it right about the sodium/potassium balance.
Your vids are the most informative I have come across concerning my own health situation I thank you for posting…keep them coming please.
Another useful video.. Thank you, dr. Berg!
What is the difference between potassium gluconate vs potassium chloride? And which one is better to take daily? I get daily morning headaches and daily tight muscle tension in my neck and upper back (constant stress), once in a while spasms in the foot/calf.
if u get ure 4-5g of potassium u dont have to worry
I dropped my high blood pressure by 30 points, just from adding potassium to my vitamin regimen and got other great benefits, as well.
How much potassium do you take? And what kind is it a tablet or powdered? And how much?
Could you please tell me how much potassium you take to lower your BP and what brand as well! My BP is very high and I get scared I would like to bring it down naturally! Thankyou in advance!
Are you on keto diet?
@@dannydanielsnyc No, but my energy is through the roof, now that I'm getting proper potassium amounts.
@@christinedarnell3520 For men 4,700mg; for women 3,400mg. I get the bulk powder in the Potassium Orotate because it has great absorption. It's hard to mix with water and taste like pure crap, but it mixes well with ACTIVIA.
I am sure that I am not the only one who really like to have a video covers what mineral / vitamins to take together and what to avoid combining them at the same time, it would be most appreciated to create such a video
I’ve been watching your channel for a very long time and love the way you explain things in a simplified way. (PS the beard makes you look years older when I have always thought how young you look. Just my opinion)
So, let me ask you this. I've heard that too much potassium can be harmful. I have thought about sypplimenring potassium but since hearing possible harmful side effects, I've steered clear. Can you over dose on potassium? Thanks
Darn near impossible to overdose unless you are trying to kill yourself. Ive been fighting low potassium my whole life ended up in the hospital twice because it was so low. I started taking potassium bulk powder haven't had any issues. I take 5000mg a day of potassium (via Potassium Gluconate) If you take too much your body will just urinate it out. So unless you take like a pound of it at once you are fine.
@@macheadg5er thank you for the info
Yes. It's the ratio between sodium/potassium that's most important but its very possible to get too much of potassium or sodium in the blood from labs and symptoms I've seen.
If you take a large bolus of potassium - say a full teaspoon worth of KCl, that may be enough to push your blood K levels up to dangerous levels. The kidneys are really good at preemptively excreting potassium as you consume it to keep the blood levels within normal range. Small doses of potassium salt such as 1/4 tsp in 16 oz of water won't be any issue. Food sources are no problem either since they take longer to break down and hence the potassium is time-released. Kidney diseases impair excretion, causing accumulation. Some diuretics called "potassium-sparing diuretics" will contribute to high blood potassium.
Overall, yes an OD is possible if you have kidney disease, take certain diuretics, or consume a large bolus (think of a teaspoon of potassium salt). Food sources are the best way.
@@markdaisey4800 After watching this video I went and took 1t of potassium citrate. But thanks to your info I wont do that anymore.
Some of the best foods filled with Potassium Dr. Berg:
1. Beet Greens/Swiss Chard
2. Salmon/Tilapia
3. Cannellini/Lima Beans
4. Avocados
5. Acorn Squash
6. Coconut Water
7. Mushrooms
8. Kiwis
9. Tomatoes
10. Cantaloupe
Have a beautiful day everyone! ✝️
Thanks for the list
Thanks, have a great day and week
what about bananas?
Bananas
Cream of tartar
When it comes to whole grains, I always soak my steel cut oats overnight and rinse them a couple of times the following morning, this will reduce the phytic acid that block mineral absorption.Graet video as always Dr. Berg
Do you soak in cold or warm water? Also what does this do for it? Thanks
@@thepoweroftheoilofjoy Just normal room temperature water. It dissolves the phytates which inhibit mineral absorption
Dr. Berg I just bought potassium yesterday and now you upload a video about it. It’s like you’re reading my mind!
I was just thinking about it yesterday!
I wished you had a video more about Addison’s disease and how to treat it. I wish you could look into that. It would really be a help for us to have Addison’s disease really would appreciate more videos.
This is SO informative! Thank you!
Best source of potassium is cream of tarter. No one really cooks with it anymore. Even 1/4 teaspoon added to your one glass of water a day makes a huge difference . Thank you for all you Do!
He’s done videos on this before explaining why no, you should not do that.
I suggest taking a look.
@@rachkate76 Thank you!
please dr can you make a video for help people in withdrawal of antidepressants ?
i love all your video , i try actually nutritional yeast ,adrenal cocktail,magnesium, potassium with big big salad.
please
A really specifying nature you have Dr. Burg, thanks to all the benefits of this!
I do take your Electrolytes powder during summer when I exercise a lot doing strenuous yardwork and gardening, and I notice a huge difference. In reality, I need to take it daily because I am feeling low on energy, my muscles seem weak, and I know I'm not getting enough potassium in my food. THANK YOU for the reminder! 🤗
I have hyperhidrosis and I think that i lose a lot of minerals. What do you think about this?
Just ordered. I had bad muscle pain/spasms in my lower back - doctor gave me muscle relaxers which did nothing. I started taking extra potassium and the back problem was gone. I made sure to let my doctor know potassium was the answer not drugs.
That's amazing! Happy for you!
Wat u eat or take?
Can you please tell me how much of the potassium are you taking daily? I have bad muscle cramps and pain in back, shoulders and feet. I also have sciatica and Planter' Fashia
Am on a diet because I have been watching your videos.
I am waking up always tired and during the day.
Is there anything I can do or do you think there is any underlying problems I may have?
Thanks
Can we say every vitamin has life changing benefits? Every day I see videos like Amazing Benefits of Potassium, Magnesium, Vitamin C, D, A, K etc., Iodine etc.
Thanks Dr.Berg DC
Thanks Dr. Berg for this very helpful video! I am going to get me some Potassium 😊.
I've been taking magnesium for awhile now before I go to bed and it helps with insomnia. May I take these together or should I take one in the morning and one in the evening?
I take potassium during the day basically after lunch on days that I have lunch. Bedtime is not a great idea as potassium is a diuretic
@@seriouslyawesomegirls8638
Thank you! I will take it in the afternoon and continue magnesium before bed. I appreciate your help 😊
@@pamelatimbush3762 happy to help
Hey Doc, the Mayo Clinic states this: Heart disease-The sodium in sodium-containing citrates may cause the body to retain (keep) water; the potassium in potassium-containing citrates may make heart disease worse, Can you do a show on this?
Thank you again for your valuable videos!
I agreed it's important story & I can't deny the fact that taking potassium improved the situation in somebody's health !!! But what happened if someone gets too much ??? It would be all right??? Please emphasize that !!!
Thank you Dr. Berg, your videos changed my outlook on eating.
That's pretty good! Thanks for your feedback.
I tried eating 7 cups of vegetables and it ruined my digestion for a month. I supplement with your electrolyte formula.
did the suplement help? if yes, after how long, and what were your symptoms?
Very informative. Is there any difference between potassium & potassium citrate?
Google
Dr Berg you are wise beyond your years
So what is the best source of potasium?? Confusing video.
Greens
@@heygetoffmylawn1572 Essentially you are incorrect as the doc does NOT promote his products in every video. Watch more videos before making such statements. Phooey.
@@heygetoffmylawn1572 Who cares? The doc needs to make a buck just like everyone else. As far as his prices he`s not selling low quality vitamins and supplements made in china by prisoners/slaves thus the higher prices.People pay for that quality and if some can`t afford it well that`s their tough luck. The doc also gives his advisement out for any and all to enjoy for FREE with millions following him and showing their appreciation...myself included.. Why do you even come here kicking up dirt? What have you contributed to society besides showing your juvenile anger and jealousy? Dismissed.
Dear Dr. Berg. This question is important to me that's why i would like to have an answer from an expert like u. Does potassium get lost while ejaculation?
Can i take potassium chloride as supplement or which from of potassium you recommend?
There is cheap way to supliment with potassium and avoid stomach problems. Buy salt replacement that is 75% potassium and use that on your food. Easy. Also eat some leafy greens you will get used to them after a while. :D
You are looking really good, Boy! That beard suits you amazingly well! I am taking LoSalt, has 66% Potassium Cloride salt. I mix that with himalaya salt.
Much Love, Karsten
Big fan for 6 years ECT. Love you and thank you. 💖🌿
Dr Berg you are the BEST!!! Without your guidance I could never find my answer to my questions about my health from my Doctor! I find that stunning my Doctor does not have answers! And you have it!
Glad to help!
@@Drberg I am ecstatic that you see my comment right away and respond to it, I am hoping that I can speak to you directly as I have so many questions, I attended the live event online every Friday but didn’t get lucky but I learned something and get information with what I don’t know. I wonder why your product is not sold in Amazon Canada?
Hi dr berg thank you for this video .
The other cause of potassium deficiency can be due to a genetic rate syndromes called :
Gitelman syndrome and barter syndrome .
I have gitelman syndrome which require me to take potassium and magnesium daily .
Those videos helps a lot with nutrition supplements .
Less worried, stressed, fearful, anxious, improve mood,....who doesn't need potassium ?
Thx doc 😘
Thank you Dr Berg.
Late to the comments as usual BUT I wanted to share an interesting experience I have every summer with my salt water pool. I'm SOOOOO glad I found this information as the salt water pool gave my husband and I terrible leg cramps while in the pool! Bummer huh? I didn't think to use potassium to counter it!! Boy I know what to do this year!! I'm going to take potassium citrate and put it mixed with water in a spray bottle with some magnesium and put that on after swimming. Chlorine also depletes vital minerals so it's a good idea with either type of pool. Oh and I can concur completely with this list of benefits! Totally experience all of these.
Thank you Dr Berg for explaining all the little details behind the body. Truly grateful for the advice and guidance to better eating and health.
Dr. Berg, thank you for another excellent video!
Most welcome! Glad you liked it!
Thank you for all of your videos! I'm recovering from an abusive relationship of 31 years. I am 4 years out now and thankful to Jesus that I'm still alive. I have had shingles, covid and a hysterectomy and my father died . This happened all this year. Now I'm dealing with my hair falling out in clumps. I also have Epstein barr virus and fibromyalgia so it's very difficult to exercise. I'm trying to get healthy but I'm on foodstamps and disabled from ex- husband. Any suggestions for me would be awesome. I'm 54 years old. I just started multi vitamins, iron and hair,skin and nail vitamins. I was hemorrhaging after menopause and that's what caused me to have to get a hysterectomy
Dear Candy be fully healed in the name of Jesus.
This is too much someone should bear. Watching Dr. Berg you are on the right track. Take care my dear.
I'm so sorry you have so many overwhelming issues. I think the best thing would be to build a foundation of eating nothing but healthy foods. I understand cost issue with foodstamps but if you can eat a huge salad (7-10 cups organic if possible) and lots of pastured eggs EVERY DAY it will do wonders for you. The key is to get as many nutrients from quality food as possible rather than expensive supplements which vary widely in quality. Having said that, you're smart to boost your health by taking B Complex vitamin supplements that include Biotin for skin, nails and hair. Also VERY important are vitamins D3 and K2 (see Dr. Bergs many videos on that subject) and trace minerals. I know it's tempting to buy cheap frozen dinners and processed foods but you just won't get good nutrition from them. Wishing you great success and health!
important to dont stop working out and eat healthy the right amount
@@Sebi1998 Walking daily might be all she can do at beginning. Even if that's difficult just try to keep moving around the house. Don't spend all day on the sofa
It heped me with mood and eczema
Dr Berg, what do you think about using LoSalt/NoSalt as an alternative to getting enough potassium in my diet?
Is food grade potassium nitrate powder ok? Heard it helps as vasodilator and its inexpensive?
Doc if possible, would you be able to recommend a potassium supplement? I used to take your electrolyte powder for years, but I have recently developed a corn allergy and have bad reactions to the citric acid in the powder. ☹️ It's heart breaking because it was a part of my daily routine. Please and thank you. ❤️
Same here. I have celiac and the electrolyte powder has something that upsets my system
Take potassium citrate powder from Now Foods.
I take it for years and it's not expensive
Also, potassium from Gerson Therapy is great but in Europe is extremely expensive
So much to learn and understand how the body works. Thanks alot dr. B
Most welcome! Glad you found the information useful.

Hi Dr Berg, thanks for educating on potassium ! What are beet greens or beet tops ? Means beet leaves we have to use ?? Or beet root it is ??

I was just asking my friends if they knew a good all-encompassing electrolyte support drink. I am thankful for finding this video right when I needed it!
I am 100% getting your electrolyte support drink mix, I did the math on your 100 servings version and it is SO much cheaper than all of the many supplements I am taking!
I have high hopes for it, I bet I’m deficient in a bunch of the trace minerals as well since I barely eat any leafy greens!
Another awesome & informative video, Dr. Berg! I just ordered your electrolyte variety pack...Can't wait to try the different flavors! And I will definitely be increasing my intake of Potassium-rich foods.
I’m going to buy this today 😊
Dr.. this is for my husband I’m writing ..☹️
He has terrible allergies with chronic sneezing and cough..
He takes Claritin .. oral inhaling puffs as well…
it’s so sad to see him losing his sleep at night with 100 or more times sneezing under 3-4 mins… & coughing a lot & finally almost losing his voice…
Plz suggest some help …plzzzz🙏🏽

I love listening to Dr Bergs.
I haven't tried keto because l stopped eating meat 3 years ago, I wasnt sure how my body would cope without it but my body copes very well, l do know some people's bodies need meat. I have bloods taken on a regular basis and so far l'm showing no signs of any deficiencies but listening to this makes me think l am definitely deficient because l tick all the symptoms, brain fog, cramps, etc.
I have suffered from extreme leg cramps four or more times a night due to a back operation on my L4 and L5 discs l had 15 years ago. No one really knows why l get them. Specialists say it might be scar tissue thats causing them, others say lack of magnesium but noone really knows, l have tried many different things l have even tried sleeping with a bar of soap at the foot of my bed, its amazing what you can find on google in the middle of the night.. l've taken good quality magnesium but it hasn't worked, nothing has worked to date. It was only recently when l heard Dr Berg mention potassium can help with cramps my ears pricked up, l needed to know more. With all the years of research this is the first time l have ever heard potassium can help so l became very intrigued to know more.
l recently had an appointment with a dietitian at a hospital to discuss my cramps and I mentioned that l came across Dr Bergs videos and he mentions the importance of increasing potassium if you have cramps etc, as many people are deficient and dont even know it.. The first thing she said "too much potassium can be dangerous" and the second thing she said " be extremely cautious taking on any advice from a person putting up health advice on youtube"...To be honest l did walked away from my dietitians appointment feeling disillusioned. I used to believe dietitians were the answer but from my experience its as though everyone is under the same umbrella. We are individuals and our needs are different too everyone else. I'm very open to trying potassium but l also dont want to cause any more health issues than l already have. (I was diagnosed with blood cancer - Non Hodgkin's one year ago and l'm now in remission, so it's important l do the right thing. I refused to get the jab because l trusted my body needed to heal first , there were other reasons for not getting it but that was my main reason. I'm glad l refused because l have heard others that were in remission are no longer, coincidence , l guess we will never know 🤷♀️)
l do have an appointment with a highly regarded naturopath, so l will be interested to see her take on taking extra potassium 🤞... lm willing to try anything as long as it has benefits for my health...
On a different topic, I've seen many youtube videos of people recommending zinc to help boost the immune system. Yes, there are many benefits of taking zinc but noone has ever mentioned that taking zinc long term can cause health issues. You should always have a break when taking zinc!
I highly recommend doing research and for anyone promoting the benefits of taking supplements or increasing certain vitamins or minerals, they should include the health risks of overdosing, it's called a duty of care.
A simple solution, take a calcium,magnesium and zinc supplement. I take a simple one,from Walmart(spring valley brand) .then eat a couple bananas a day,for potassium. Good luck.
Eat some meat.... there is no point in excluding meat. You need it, eat all the plants you want, but eat meat too. No wonder you have so many issues, your body isnt getting all the essential amino acids to make DNA

Let's not exaggerate that potatoes or fruit have a lot of carbohydrates - 100 grams of fruit / potatoes have up to 16 grams of carbohydrates, 100 grams of oatmeal about 65 grams.
Unless you’re on Keto diet. But generally I agree with you.
I'm Irish and just couldn't make it without my potatoes. I'm lucky they contain so much potassium
He is not lying about the potassium and energy. I started supplementing with potassium and my energy levels sky rocketed. I was still trying to be lazy, so all that extra energy was a pain in the butt. I actually cut back bc I was too damn energetic. I had my potassium/sodium pumps working at full capacity.
What supplement did you use?
Chard, beet greens, and spinach are very high in oxalates.
This is why it’s good to eat both raw AND cooked. When you cook spinach it greatly reduces oxylates.
@@kimmilberg7867 Not really. You might reduce it in broccoli if you boil it a long time and throw out the water. 3 oz of spinach has almost a gram of oxalate. It's toxic. Lookup how Liam Hemsworth went to the hospital from daily spinach smoothies.
