The estimated minimum potassium requirements for women and men are 2000 mg per day. As children get older, they need more potassium and this increase can go up to 3800 â 4800 mg per day. A deficiency may cause muscular cramps, twitching, irregular heartbeat, kidney and lung failure and insomnia too.Daily potassium requirements: Potassium helps to maintain a healthy fluid balance in our body.s children get older, they need more potassium and this increase can go up to 3800 â 4800 mg per day.

Foods that contain at least 350 mg potassium can be labeled âDiets containing foods that are good sources of potassium and low in sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke.â. 1  For preventing low levels of potassium: 20 mEq is typically taken daily. For treating low levels of potassium: the common dose of potassium is 40-100 mEq or more daily, in two to four divided amounts. 2  For treating high levels of calcium: 1 mEq/kg is taken daily or four tablets of Urophos-K are taken twice a day. 3  For high blood pressure: the typical dose is 48-90 mEq daily.
