Knowing potassium levels is the first step to investigating the cause of high potassium. Less than 3.5 mg/dL is low. Between 3.5 to 5.5 mg/dL is safe. 5.6 to 6.0 mg/dL is high and unsafe.
Normal potassium levels in the human body range between 3.5-5.0 mEq/L (136.5-195 Î¼g/ml). Anything lower than 3.5 mEq/L is called hypokalemia, which can cause a lack of energy, muscle cramps, stomach disturbances, and irregular heartbeat.he Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends an intake of 4,700 mg of potassium (approximately 6 to 7 small potatoes worth) for the average adult. Currently, most Americans do not consume an adequate amount of potassium. In fact, the typical American consumes only 56% this amount.
