AVELOR SUMMARY
Most adults are deficient (only 3% meet AI of 4,700mg/day). Potassium reduces BP by 3-6 mmHg — the magnitude of effect rivals some BP medications. DASH diet works primarily through potassium. Supplement limit: 99mg per capsule (FDA regulation — higher doses require prescription). Best obtained through diet (banana=422mg, potato=926mg, coconut water=600mg).
