Yes. While individuals should obtain about 3,500 mg of potassium per day in their diet, it is difficult to obtain this amount just from supplements. The best way to obtain this amount of potassium is by replacing packaged processed foods with a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Making this shift in dietary intake also helps to reduce sodium consumption which for most Americans is five to ten times higher than what it should be.
