The right balance of potassium is essential to the proper functioning of your body. Generally, adults should aim for 200 mcg of potassium a day, which is about the amount found in banana. Anything over 17,000mcg can be dangerous.

Yes, you can take to much. First I would have a blood test to determine is you need supplements or if you only need to change your diet to include potassium.
