It is important to recognize that the potassium content of the body is under strict homeostatic control and is not influenced by variations in environmental levels. For this reason, the dose from ⁴⁰K in the body is constant.

Federal Guidance Report #11 (table 2.2, page 156) Lists conversion factor of 5.02×10⁻⁹ Sv/Bq for committed effective dose equivalent of ingested pure potassium-40 (not of natural potassium).
U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (1999), Federal Guidance Report 13, page 16: "For example, the ingestion coefficient risk for 40K would not be appropriate for an application to ingestion of ⁴⁰K in conjunction with an elevated intake of natural potassium. This is because the biokinetic model for potassium used in this document represents the relatively slow removal of potassium (biological half-time 30 days) that is estimated to occur for typical intakes of potassium, whereas an elevated intake of potassium would result in excretion of a nearly equal mass of natural potassium, and hence of ⁴⁰K, over a short period."
