What to avoid (2)
- Potassium Supplements Very highTheoretical
Do not take potassium if you have hypoaldosteronism, a condition where your body already has high potassium levels due to hormonal imbalance.

Standard licorice root mimics aldosterone effects, which can dangerously worsen potassium loss if you already have hypoaldosteronism. Do not use.
