Comment:
I'll never complain about taking pills again! Talk about nasty, this stuff is tolerable but still not pleasant to take, the flavor isn't the problem but the grittiness makes it unpleasant. And I didn't know that it would cause such horrible diahrea. I won't get going anywhere while taking this. Yet I know it's necessary to rid the abundance of potassium in my system.

If you mix it with cranberry juice and little water it is palatabel.You have to watch out for constipation. A good diet in high fiber will take care of it.
