Am I Missing Something?

So sometimes sodium isn't the issue. Many of us get way too much sodium and not enough potassium to utilize it properly.

I use alfalfa. It has a good mix of potassium to sodium, 2:1 ratio respectively.

1 cup of alfalfa has 1% of the DV (same amount as a serving of Gatorade or the Skratch labs exercise hydration mix). You would do much better with many other veggies than with alfalfa in terms of potassium. e.g, one cup of cooked kale has 8.5% of the DV.

I use super concentrated alfalfa capsules that are more potent.

Just a thought, and apologies to those who already know this, I don't mean to preach to the choir. But too much potassium is just as dangerous - if not even more so - than too little. Be careful if you're supplementing with herbals.
