Is there such a thing as a toxic dosage of potassium? Watch and find out.

The first thing you should know is that you will rarely if ever, have a problem with potassium if you get it from fresh food—even at 10 cups of vegetables per day. 

However, there are a few exceptions, including if you:

• Have stage 5 kidney disease

• Take an ace inhibitor

• Take a beta-blocker

• Use potassium-sparing diabetics

• Have Addison's disease

• Have hyperkalemia

Now let's talk about extreme doses of potassium. When you have between 8,000 and 10,000 mg of potassium, you may begin to feel nauseous. If you are already low on potassium and you take something like 14,000 mg of potassium, this could be very dangerous.
