Excessive sweating, caused by exposure to heat or by heavy exercise can increase the loss of potassium. Substantial amounts of potassium and chloride are also lost with severe diarrhea, excessive urination, and with the consumption of large amounts of sugar-sweetened drinks. Patients receiving diuretic therapy and develop muscular weakness or loss of appetite should consult their physician for advice as to whether they require a potassium supplement.

Excessive loss of potassium can cause an acid-base disturbance that is termed "hypokalemic alkalosis." This condition is intensified when chloride is also lost, as is usual with heavy perspiration or conditions that cause increased loss in the urine. By adding Alta Health Products' Potassium Chloride, this disturbance is greatly decreased. When hypokalemia develops, especially when chloride deficiency also exists, supplemental amounts of potassium chloride are commonly needed. Abnormal amounts of potassium in the blood (too little or too much) can give rise to abnormalities of the heart's rhythm (called "arrhythmia"), which can be life-threatening. Your physician should be consulted as to the amount of potassium chloride you require.
