4.2g of potassium citrate which is 1.6g of actual potassium (38%). Since this post, I've further narrowed down that my root cause is high dopamine consumption. It causes me to always be relaxed and low energy. And no fiery metabolism traveling up from the gut to the throat. This also results in poor posture, low speech volume and overall vitality to go out and do things / talk to people. Basically I've lived every day for a decade either over-eating or constantly smoking. But only a few hours of cessation of dopamine in-take, my energy returns to high levels, which makes pushing out words effortless. So my cure was to use NAC to stop being addicted to dopamine, then sit in the discomfort of not relying on substances like vaping. It's like insulin and the kidney. With sugar, we build an insulin tolerance which keeps increasing carb in-take. In this case, it's dopamine and the brain. My dopamine was so high that I've lived in a permanently over-relaxed state and lost the ability to tense my throat and mouth muscles. So this specifically only applies to dopamine abusers. But seeing how common it is these days, I think most people are doing this. Whether it's cornhub, vaping, or snack foods. Being too comfortable doesn't allow the signals to travel up the ganglia wires. And that's why potassium and the other electrolytes help. They regulate muscle contraction and conducts the electricity of the nerves that weave through skeletal muscle. Check your lymph nodes for swelling (not draining water and causing infections), check if your tongue/nose/throat has feeling and smell, and whether you can contract your tongue enough to push up your head (mewing). Each component needs sufficient power to work, since the mechanism of singing starts from the gut up to the nostrils. Clear the path of over-relaxed muscles using the things mentioned above (electrolytes, dopamine, food, exercise, etc).
