Potassium Counter & Tracker3.0.8 - App Store

Use this app to increase potassium intake to lower high blood pressure; to restrict potassium intake as advised by your healthcare provider to lower the risk of high blood potassium if you have chronic kidney disease (CKD); to ensure a healthy intake to protect from nerve-related problems such as tingling, numbness, muscle weakness, cramps & spasms, brain fog, irritability.
Set your target daily potassium intake based on guidance provided in the app or as advised by your healthcare provider; and your preferences for weights of food (g or oz).
Record food and beverage consumption using the barcode scanner (please note that only manufacturers in the US are required to include potassium content in the nutrition label read by the scanner), dictation, search or by favoriting foods and using the serving sizes provided (which can be changed at any time). Tap the notepad to add notes. Compare the potassium content of different foods by tapping the Compare button on the "Foods" screen.
Monitor daily and long-term progress, export data to share with healthcare providers, synchronize data with other First Line Medical Communications Ltd nutrient counter apps, and share data with Apple's HealthKit.
Add your own foods and recipes and change serving sizes to personalize the app's 400-item database for you.
All food and beverage popups indicate whether the item is a plant, good prebiotic, probiotic or ultra-processed food (UPF) to inform a healthy diet and also whether they are high or low FODMAP per serving where data are available to support people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Useful lists show potassium content of foods per 1oz or 100g and serving, which can be toggled from high to low & low to high. Also useful UPF, unprocessed plant, prebiotic, probiotic, high & low FODMAP food lists.
