Anyone know why Cole Robinson places so much emphasis on potassium chloride over other forms of potassium?
I've been using table salt for sodium, CALM powder for magnesium citrate, and purchased NOW brand potassium chloride powder to have a source of potassium. However, I'm realizing that I'm getting chloride from the table salt AND the potassium chloride...

I wanted to buy potassium for my electrolyte drink and I noticed one brand that says in the label (Potassium (elemental) 448mg from 1,400 mg potassium citrate) So to get 4,700mg potassium from it should i get 4,700mg potassium citrate or...
I’m a wimp and can’t drink salt water. I have sodium chloride tablets instead. They are 1 gram. In the wiki recommendations, it says 1-2g minimum of sodium should be consumed daily. Does that mean 1 tablet (1g) of sodium...
According to my Google searches, chloride is an electrolyte. I couldn't find much info about where it comes from though. One of my theories is tap water, but I honestly have no idea. Thank you!

Am curious of the potassium loss of cold soaking beans before cooking. Thank you
As an alternative to gagging down some snakejuice I think it may be preferable to consume electrolytes through tablets such as the following: 4x 1 gram sodium chloride tablets (394 mg of sodium) [such as this](https://www.amazon.com/Safrel-Sodium-Chloride-Tablets-15-4gr/dp/B091NKB9ZG) 24x 99 mg potassium caplets [such...

The question pretty much states it. Spring Valley K supplements only suggest 1 tablet per day, and it only fulfills 2% of the DV. It's ~90mg.
My first question is does anybody ever actually get the recommended daily intake of potassium/how do you do it? It seems so difficult, especially without consuming too much oxalates. Which brings up the second question of in your experience, has...
