Ooops!! That's too much for a single dose! 1/8 tsp NoSalt provides 325 mg potassium, or about 20 mEq (milli-Equivalents) which is the common dosage given to patients in-hospital. I recommend taking 1/8 tsp of the pure NoSalt mixed in water twice a day for a couple weeks, or during Induction ... then once a day. It might not be a good idea to use the 50:50 mix (with table salt) in this manner, as that would put a fair bit of sodium into your system too. Make sure the potassium is well diluted, as it can be irritating to the stomach.

Although the body requires 2000 to 2500 mg of potassium on a daily basis, not all of this needs to come from the diet or supplements. A certain portion is recirculated in the bloodstream from the fluid within the cells.

Cutting back on the sodium salt is another good way to keep circulating potassium levels in better balance. Too much sodium in the bloodstream forces the potassium to stay inside the cells.
