In this video, Dr. Berg answers the question, is potassium good or bad for your kidneys. It really depends on how well your kidney works, like if you have stage 5 kidney failure or renal failure where you only have 10% of your kidney working, you need to avoid potassium because the kidney doesn’t have the ability to get rid of potassium and other nutrients anymore that could lead to hyperkalemia.
Symptoms of Hyperkalemia
• Nausea
• Weak
• Slow Pulse
• Tingling
• Numbness
One of the complications of being a diabetic is you lose the kidney function but if you are healthy and you have enough potassium is protective for the kidney especially if you’re a diabetic.
Benefits of Potassium
• Protects the kidney
• Help establish normal blood sugars
• Makes insulin work well in the body
• It can lower blood pressure
Functions of Potassium: Nerves / Muscles / Fluid / Energy

Anders Jokstad - it must feel blissful to be so unquestioning and oblivious...
This is the BEST comment, I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how to say this and you have said it just right!
@@annalisa14 I wouldn't say that. If I was unquestioning, I wouldn't have watched the video. The point was that he made me curious.
Lol 😂 best comment ♥️
Thanks for sharing your knowledge which will better our lives and future health .
Nutrition should be taught STARTING in third grade in every school in the WORLD 🌎😳😳😳😳😳😍
Anna Lisa I agree.
I agree
Thin and Fit - INCLUDING parents teaching children. It’s a TEAM effort and those who don’t realize that are doomed to drugs and hospitals....
@Anna Lisa: Amen!
On principle yes. But can you imagine, what they would teach if this started NOW?
Really enjoy your videos, your style, and the information you provide. Always easy to follow and understand.
Thanks Dr Berg for clarifying the importance of potassium. There is a lot of misinformation around about potassium.
Excellent information on potassium. Look forward to seeing your next one. 🙂
Yes, I totally agree with the comments below that say that we should start teaching children about nutrition at a very young age… Not everyone's parents eat healthy… So in school they should educate kids on what's good to eat to keep healthy… Our health is vital to having a happy life!!!
You can take it up with the government. They decided what gets taught in public schools.
You're awesome Dr Berg! Lol. I've lost so much weight. I feel great! So much energy. I need new clothes now. God bless you and your family. 😄😁
congratS
That's awesome! 😊🖒
Hi Dr. Berg. Can you do a video on PKD Polycystic kidney desease? Or muscle wasting on CKD Cronic kidney desease. Thanks a lot and keep the good work.
I take around 2 grams of Potassium Bicarbonate with a meal and it seems to prevent me from retaining fluid and having high blood pressure.
Wow! I had this question two days ago in my mind. Dr Berg is a psychic. Thanks Dr Berg
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 would like you to do more videos on A atuonomic nervous system and go in depth
I'm still a little confused on something: if sodium and potassium work in opposition to each other, where too much of one causes too little of the other, then why, if we lower our sodium intake, does that not INCREASE the amount of potassium we have?!
Yes I think..if you take higher potassium than sodium food or take potassium supplement
Doc thanks so much for the info. May I know the difference and benefits of taking potassium gluconate over potassium citrate. When do you advise to take it.
Berg answers questions we should have had answered in JUNIOR High School 😳😳😳😳😳😳
Facts!!!!
I try to teach these things to my students and it goes way over their head. They'd rather eat Takis and play fortnite
Balanced Boi - yep, an those of us AWARE must be proud to be UNcommon...
splazarevic1 - your students will be spending time in hospitals while you are enjoying the beauty remaining on planet earth 🌍
Balanced Boi - so that comment better mean that you are out TEACHING every day to anyone who will listen ...
Appreciate this and all of your videos. Trying hard to eat plenty of salad / greens but can you consider doing a video on the safety of the "adrenal cocktail" (Vitamin C via lemon juice + 1/4 tsp of cream of tartar + himalayan salt) as an occasional supplement.
Dr. Berg, your the best!
Question; can you take too much potassium supplements? Is it dangerous for your heart? What are the signs and symptoms you are taking too much potassium supplements? You say in your video we need 4.7 grams of potassium. How much is that when this is converted to pill bottle doses? I.E. (mg) (MEQ) (mcg) or (IU)? Thank you for all your videos, may God Bless you!
Hi dr Berg
Please comment about the benefit to follow a circadian fasting
Thanks for your good work
Amen, I've gone thru hours of videos on potassium, but no one except Dr Berg gave a useful answer safe intake of Ka for non stage 5 CKD failure. I know
Ka will lower BP, but afraid to take it for fear of Ka accumulation. My own kidney doctor didnt' help at all and like many allopathic doctors are not particularly
informed. I will now carefully consumer more Ka and see if my stubborn high BP will go down. Thanks again Dr Berg for this very important distinction.
Dr Berg! Please, please, give your insight on severe ulcerative colitis, and how to help it into remission.
@Jesus was gay are you a doctor hypocrite bot?
Stfu.
I am looking in to being a living kidney donor for a family member. I am healthy and young. What can I do after surgery and ongoing, to avoid any kidney issues in my future?
I learned that the ratio of sodium to potassium is critical. Not just potassium alone.
What do you do if you have kidney disease AND hypertension, high blood pressure and are borderline diabetic??
I don't have kidney issues or diabetes but my legs swell whenever I take potassium tablets. This video didn't really do much to calm my fear of renal failure. 😥
Maybe up your sodium intake a day along with the potassium.
When balanced maybe the swellings will decrease like mine 👍
True. My son was born with stage 3 ckd. Hes almost 4 now and his function hasn't gone down and hes on a rx potassium supplement daily.
Children are a product of their environment… So if they've never been educated on what to eat they will be overweight and unhealthy… We need to teach our children how to thrive on fruits and vegetables and not on junk food… So they can have a happy and healthy life 😉😍❤️
Please tell something on cream of tartar. .Dr berg
What did cream of tartar do?
@@chasepotter2376 light salt
Dr. Thomas delauer( on TH-cam) has a formula to drink with cream of tartar in it. The drink is for equalizing the electrolytes and acidity in the gut for proper digestion while fasting.
It is a form of pottasium
Wow - so much good info in such a short video. ~Elizabeth
What would be the creatinine level if it's dangerous of taking potassium?
Thank you from Belgium
thanks Dr Berg🙏
Thanks my favourite dr Eric berg ❤️
Good Morning , Dr . Berg Thank you great video & valuable information ! I Enjoyed listening to you, May God richly bless you !

Does anybody know whether Potassium Chloride table salt is a good way of obtaining Potassium in the diet? In the UK the salt company Saxa produce "So-Low" which is 51% KCl, with 48% being your normal NaCl. It's sold as being "low Sodium" salt and, therefore, beneficial to some people.
Dr. Berg, I love your videos..... Thank you a million times.......
Thank you
Is adding Cream of Tarter a safe and effective way to take potassium?
Great question.
Please answer this
Cream of garter has carbs and it did bothered me
Cream of tartar has very low solubility compared to potassium chloride (No Salt). So I think the latter is better if you're going to prepare a solution and not have to drink it all while stirring constantly. To me, potassium chloride doesn't taste salty at all, so I just shake at bit of it onto whatever I am preparing when I add sodium chloride.
No- there's already been videos on this.
Dr.Berg, can you, please, specify, if a person has one kidney (healthy), should she also lower her potassium intake? Thank you!!!
How do I interpret this Kidney EGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) test result?
B-EGFR >60
NB-EGFR >60
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Meaning ur kidney functions at above 60%
@@Anne-mw9kv I don't remember posting this lol
I don't remember anything about it... Or what it was for
Thanks for the video
Any tips for living with one kidney - video would be great
Good morning. Can I drink Aloe Vera juice when I’m fasting? Will it break my fast ?
❤️ thank you for sharing your info. You have a great vit D! I've noticed a big difference compared to others. ❤️
Finally starting keto, and I'm stunned at energy and the healing.
To take this as a supplement in powder form, do i get potassium citrate or potassium chloride?
why he doesn't answer
Very informative! 👍🏼
What do you think about snake juice fast? Drinking snake juice for 48h and refeed with less than 500 calories with keto meal. And repeat till lose the all overweight. Is that healthy? Please answer. (Snake juice=2l water, 1tps potassium, 1tps baking soda, 1/2 pink him salt).
THANK YOU DR BERG
Eric has a great beautiful writing which you barely find anywhere. 👍👏
I give my dog potassium citrate to help prevent cysteine stones. One thing I’ve found researching his condition is how much contradicting info there is about kidney health.
Thank you Doc!
What is the recommended dosage of potassium citrate
Dr. Berg can you cover lipodermacerosis, and venous problems. I know lower leg discoloration could be from thyroid issues, which you said a long time ago. But as I have said before I have had varicous veins since I was six to eight years of age. I believe childhood vaccines caused weakened veins, along with electric frequency sensitivities. So how would one go about putting strength back into the veins? Is it even possible? Should I just look forward to the miseries of the lipoderma, and let it happen? A video on this would be a blessing (or a curse) waiting for your reply. Thank you for all you do. You are a blessing to all of us who want real help.
My wife has 48 kidney function, how much potassium should she have a day
Sorry for the off-topic question, Dr. Berg. Can you make a video about lecithin supplements? Since it's made out of soy (to my knowledge), should men take it on a regular basis? Are they safe or men should avoid them? Does lecithin increase estrogen? I've been taking lecithin quite frequently for the past 2-3 years because of cognitive improvements. Thanks for the videos and all your work.
But some are now alleging that dietary potassium is not the cause of high serum potassium.
I used to work in a nursing home as a dietary cook aid. For the renal diet residents they don't give added salt, nor potassium foods, like banana, potato, tomato, broccoli, chocolate, ketchup, citrus, apricot. But I found out that canned apricot is low on potassium and they still not give it. Also, mandarins are citrus and they give it to them. Also mushrooms, in one book said don't serve while in the next book said serve. It was a disaster
Very useful information as always 🤗
Thank you very much!
Is there a recommended potassium supplement that can be taken?
U can easily get it from" Dates"
Great knowledge boss
Thanks. Hope you learned a lot.
Amazing information Dr Berg.
A follow up question, should I eat potassium if I'm in the early stage of kidney decline? (gfr 80) Will it protect or harm?
Fluuuxxxx protect
Dr. Eric Berg DC
???
Dr. Eric Berg DC you are the Best
Thank you so so much, will make my life alot easier 🙏
@Jesus was gay even if I'm at an early stage? Dr Berg is wrong?
What about the people with renal cysts?
Rapamycin 6mg/week x 4 months
@@oramoorusa9059 I was asking about potassium content per day btw.
@@oramoorusa9059 , is Rapamycin supposed to help with Renal Cysts?
Thanks
Dosage?
Please doctor start teaching UGs and medical school students like us
You are 💕💕💕
@Jesus was gay jesus was gay?? What was black krishna?? A bisexual?? How many GOPIS he fucked?? And what about pandavas?? The gang bangers??
Thank you Dr. Berg.
No worries :)
*What about a diabetic that just started having slight, diminished kidney function? What should they do/take now?? Thank you.*
What are all of the vitamins nutrients and minerals we need daily and what foods would best fulfill the needs?
Cream of tartar contains loads of potassium; is it safe to consume this regularly in tiny amounts, let's say a quarter of a teaspoon?
Doctor Thomas delauer ( on TH-cam) uses it in his electrolyte drink. It's for digestion and acidity equalizing
I have kidney stones, not diabetic, doesnt have high blood pressure, is potassium good for me?
Great video indeed . Questions comes in mind. How to measure potassium any blood / other tests please
blood test,i had it recently and my K is high 🥹
Can you do a video on sinusitus please.

What type of potassium to take??🙏🙏🙏
Hello. Potassium citrate would be fine.
Dr Berg, my wife has a kidney disease, is the keto diet to much potassium for her? If so what should she be eating instead?
Does potassium chloride (salt substitute) respond the same as eating a potassium rich food?
So if you’re in stage 2 kidney disease should you eat more potassium?
I saw that the RDA recommendations for potassium have been changed. I see that the requirements drop as you age. If over 51 years of age, you only need 3100 mg of potassium a day. I assume this is because your kidney function declines with age. Can you comment on this new advise.
Hi Dr Berg, I have a very little cyst in one of my kidneys. I am taking potassium. It's ok for me to keep taking potassium? I hope you can answer me. Thank you
Dr.Berg is a BOSS.
@Jesus was gay are you a doctor hypocrite troll bot?
Rach Kate Thank you sweetie
Thanks for the video Dr Berg.
Now I have a dilemma, blood test indicates I have too much potassium and a low potassium diet was suggested. I also have stage 2 kidney problem, what should I do?
This video may be helpful:

PLEASE TALK ABOUT CREME OF TARTAR!!!!!!
Hello, dr Berg! I have stage 3 kidney disease. Potassium is also good for me? 4700 mg/day? Thank you!
Great video.
Is there anyone that can exactly explain the difference in symptoms between Hypokalemia and Hyperkalemia?
I am on Keto now and what happened is that I am having constantly constipation, even before Keto, and then I drank a lot of warm water which made me go to the toilet but I also peed a lot.
That I suppose made me loose a lot of electrolytes and then the symptoms of numbness, tingling and muscle twitching began. You would consider this is Hypokalemia but here in this video Dr. Berg mentions these symptoms for HYPERkalemia.
Next morning I bought 600mg Potassium chloride slow release pills and after a few meals and taking one with a meal happened very similar thing, in a matter of seconds, 20 min after taking a pill the next day. I concluded now I have to much! It was very similar and I didn't sleep that night.
Now I am totally confused, how can I actually know do I have hypokalemia or hyperkalemia?
For two weeks everything was fine and then I was riding a bicycle, very low intensity, and when I came home it started again.
I didn't take any pills because I am confused do I have HYPER or HYPOkalemia. I hope I don't have addison's or kidney problem...
I don't have health insurance so every help is welcome.
Thank you.
Maybe you are lacking B12 or folate..
I'm assuming you're joking when you said if you're healthy like the great majority of the population?
Are you trying to say the majority of the population are unhealthy fat sacks of dung?
If I weigh less than 110 lbs, do I still need that much potassium?? What do you think about potassium supplements? I don’t trust the soils are good enough to get enough potassium from veggies.
What if you’re stage 3B/4 renal failure? Is it safe to have Potassium, K, or calcium?
I wish you would have said this on your other vid about kidney function. That needed to be said on all your vids relating to kidneys so folks won't take potassium if at end stages
I have stage 2 kidney disease. Is supplementing with potassium safe?
How to put a question for him?
I am confused about vitamin and mineral "SUPPLIMENTS" being less effective than natural ones.......
Are they chemically different from natural sources?
Or something else....?
M M islam they are probably synthetic vitamins, lab created so the body probably won’t absorb them as well as naturally sourced vitamins
@@celebratejen95 Thats what i hear from every expert...but wanted to know why.....as those are chemically identical.
“Jun. 1, 2016 · Because of this potential danger, the FDA limits over-the-counter potassium supplements (including multivitamin-mineral pills) to less than 100 milligrams (mg). That's just 2% of the 4,700 mg recommended dietary intake for potassium.” Has the FDA revised or updated this recommendation?
Can you take potassium if you have had a kidney transplant?
@Jesus was gay you should go do that then, hypocrite doctor troll bot.
Is too much potassium bad for your heart? After drinking coconut water daily for about a week I started getting chest pain in my heart area.
Go get it checked out to be on the safe side.👍👍👍👍👍
Too much of anything = bad
@Jesus was gay if only you'd get one, hypocrite troll bot fake doctor.
What is the youngest that is safe for someone to follow the keto diet
Thank you
do you have any studies for this?
Dr. Berg, what do you think about the accuracy of Heavy minerals test- HMT- I have used it and it seems accurate for analyzing my metabolism , however I am skeptical about believing the whole report. They mentioned that my Iron in my tissue is so high (I am on Keto) however, my recent blood work - which happens to be at the same time- is showing normal level of iron. Any thoughts? I stopped all rich iron food including red meat based on this!!
Is this referring to Potassium Chloride?
Potassium citrate
You're *
Dr Berg , I purchased a supplement from the Brand NOW and it is 99mg Potassium Citrate.
Is this Ok ??
