What I do is 2 pills 3x a day after each meal. It's up to you though. You might try with a low dose, then monitor how you feel and up it after. Taking more probably wouldn't hurt you, but why spend money on excess suppliments

Look for foods high in pottassium you can add to your diet. Avacados are a great induction food. They are high in fat and full of pottasium. They are out of season and nasty in stores around here atm unfortunetly. I think many meats, esp exotic ones like lamb are also high in pottasium and spinach.

Do a web search for "high pottassium" foods. Also do a search just on these boards. Almost anything you can have come from diet is absorbed and used by the body better then from suppliments. Still suppliment, you definetly need those, but try to balance diet as much as possible.

When I was around 50g carbs a day balanced with protien and fat, I was getting over 100% RDA of all my nutrients except iron. I seriously doubt most weight watchers or people on low fat diets can say that

I also think the fact I do real well at supplimenting has helped me ward off the flu the rest of my family has. I can feel myself slowly succumbing to it though. I just hope to make it through finals.
