mcavana, I used that handy search feature available on this site looking for "Potassium AND gluconate" and found that gluconate simply refers to the type of potassium - i.e. it is chelated and more easily apsorbed. If you recall, the link I provided to you in your first post about supplements gave the dosage requirments for induction and maintenance - you should have all the information you need now.

Searching for the answers to your questions while waiting for a post to be replied often leads to other questions, that you didnt even know you had you had, being answered. You can find the search function here (http://forum.lowcarber.org/search.php?s=) .

HTH,
Nat
