I've done a quick check on this approach. This site http://www.ext.colostate.edu/PUBS/foodnut/09355.html has some good data on potassium in diet. Supplements aren't generally needed (or advised) and the amount your poster uses exists anyway in a medium apple , orange, or a couple of apricots ( I use dried organic). This is a cheaper and more natural route to this idea.
The Magnesium (Mg) is easier to supplement ( typically for older people in bone support supplements) and could be taken at the same time.These would also include calcium. Magnesium is also in fruit,almonds, wholegrains and green leafy veg. http://www.healthyeatingclub.com/info/books-phds/books/foodfacts/html/data/data5d.html This site shows cocoa/ drinking choc as having a huge amount- so take note :) I will try to incorporate this idea for Hum relief anyway, as there's nothing wrong in the levels suggested for anyone in good health and choosing to supplement wisely.
