Potassium Requirements and Healthy Keto® Food SourcesUpdated a month ago

Dr. Berg’s Electrolyte Powder contains 1000 mg of potassium citrate.  

This makes it a powerful daily support for your potassium needs and overall electrolyte balance. However, the recommended daily intake for an adult is 4,700 mg. While the Electrolyte Powder provides a significant "boost," Dr. Berg recommends meeting the remainder of your requirements through a Healthy Keto® diet. 

Top Healthy Keto® Foods High in Potassium 

To reach that 4,700 mg goal, focus on these nutrient-dense, low-glycemic foods: 

• Beet Tops (Greens): One of the highest sources, providing about 1,300 mg per cup (cooked).
• Avocado: A whole avocado contains approximately 800–900 mg of potassium and healthy fats to keep you in ketosis.
• Spinach: Cooked spinach offers about 800 mg per cup.
• Swiss Chard: Another potent leafy green with roughly 900 mg per cooked cup.
• Wild-Caught Salmon: Provides about 600 mg per 6-ounce serving.
• Brussels Sprouts: Contains about 500 mg per cup.

The "7 to 10 Cups" Rule 

Dr. Berg’s primary recommendation for hitting your potassium target is to consume 7 to 9 cups of leafy greens per day. This not only provides the necessary potassium and magnesium but also helps flush fat out of the liver.
