What is the objective?
The amount of potassium (K) appears to be too small to be of value. When served in tablets the FDA has restricted the amount of K to a miniscule amount less than 100 mg. I believe they are afraid that a dissolving pill will cause irritation to the stomach lining due to the localized concentration. Or something like that - I once found the FDA rationale on line but failed to record the link.
for non patients, like myself, I prefer something like V8 or tomato juice. Lots of potassium. Not so hot on the flavor
Arsenic lowers blood pressure much further and much faster. AND it is all natural.I've been taking magnesium to lower blood pressure, and it seems to work. I was wondering if combining it with potassium was worth a try.

For magnesium one has to beware the laxative effect also - so you could try the L-threonate form: http://www.amazon.com/Life-Extension-Neuro-Mag-L-Threonat-Vegetarian/dp/B006P536E6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1403239497&sr=8-4&keywords=magnesium+life+extension The down side is that the amount is small (and moderately expensive) but it is claimed that the L-threonate helps transport the magnesium to where it is needed.
I'll try this one.
The objective is to help lower BP.
Then add potassium too.
