Too much potassium (over 12,000 mg daily) can be toxic & dangerous, which is why supplements are in very low doses. Too much or too little potassium can cause an organic brain syndrome with confusion, disorientation, mispronunciation of words or difficulty speaking & weakness. Supplementation is contraindicated in those with kidney disease, those on potassium-sparing diuretics, & on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain killers.
