الوصف

Use this app to increase potassium intake to lower high blood pressure or to lower potassium intake if you have kidney disease and are at risk of high blood potassium.
Set your target daily potassium intake based on guidance provided in the app or as advised by your healthcare provider; and your preferences for weights of food (g or oz) and display of potassium content in foods and beverages (ie, %target/serving, mg/100g or mg/1oz, or %target/100g or %target/1oz).
Record food and beverage consumption using the barcode scanner if in the US, dictation, search or by favoriting foods and using the serving sizes provided (which can be changed at any time). Tap the notepad to add notes.
Monitor daily and long-term progress, export data to share with healthcare providers, synchronize data with other First Line Medical Communications Ltd nutrient counter apps, and share data with Apple's HealthKit.
Add your own foods and recipes and change serving sizes to personalize the app's 400-item database for you.
The app also provides nutritional information for many healthy foods and supports a healthy gut microbiome diet using color-coded type and icons as follows:
1. Plants that can be included as one of the 30 different types of plants per week recommended by experts for a healthy gut microbiome are in green type with a green leaf icon in the food popups. The most prebiotic plants (ie, those that are particularly beneficial for the gut microbiome) are in a darker green type.
2. Fermented foods that contain beneficial live microbes to become part of the gut microbiome (probiotics) are in gold type with a gold microbe icon in the food popups.
3. Foods that are likely to be ultra-processed (UPFs) — ie, contain ingredients not found in a home kitchen (eg, preservatives, flavorings, and emulsifiers) likely to harm the gut microbiome are in red type with a red warning triangle in the food popups. UPFs cause obesity for a variety of reasons and their harmful effect on the gut microbiome is linked to inflammation and many diseases including type 2 diabetes, high LDL "bad" cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, inflammatory diseases, cancer, depression, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's dementia and Parkinson's disease.

Helpful

This app is helpful keeping track of potassium intake however it would be nice if there is a place to add notes to help keep track of symptoms

Many thanks for your feedback and we're very pleased you find the app helpful. We like your request for a symptom tracker within the app and will investigate the best way to do this. It will be included in a free update soon.

Difficult but helpful

It’s not a quick and easy app. To add coffee you say add new food. Enter coffee in name and if you google potassium in coffee, it’ll tell you the amount. About 49 mg per 100 mig of coffee. Most people will drink by the cup so 1 c. And so on. The interface could be easier.

I’d like to see them add a goal intake. My mom has renal trouble and needs her intake below 2000 per day. I should be able to set this do she sees in red when she goes over. Or at least the line would be lower. This would be a great feature.

Since this is the only app I’ve found, I’ll try to work with this. But I’m dealing with an 80 year old and hoping it’s not too difficult to teach her.

We have now added in a barcode scanner, but the United States and Canada are the only countries requiring manufacturers to provide potassium content in the Nutrition label, so the data may not be available elsewhere in the world using the barcode. This is why we also provide a 325+ database of unbranded foods and beverages so that users in countries other than the United States or Canada can find a best fit. We constantly improve the app as new technologies evolve and new information becomes available. Once you have bought the app, you get free upgrades, you are not required to register, your data are not collected, additional payments are not required and there is no advertising. We also include App Previews on the App Store to provide guidance on how to use the Settings tab to set your desired target daily intake, preferred units for weights (g or ounces) and for amounts of nutrient (in terms of weight or % daily target) per serving and per weight unit, and how to record your intake by dictation, search and favoriting. This guidance is also provided in the "How to use the app" instructions included with the app.

Useless application,

Does not let you input the amount of potassium per serving
Waisted money

How to input the amount of potassium per serving is explained in the app, but please contact us through our website — https://www.firstlinemedicalcommunications.co.uk (support@firstlinemedicalcommunications.co.uk) — and we will assist you.
