Potassium Citrate 99mg

Potassium is a major intracellular cation regulating fluid balance, nerve impulses, muscle contraction, and heart rhythm. Each capsule provides 99mg potassium from potassium citrate – the maximum non-prescription single dose allowed by FDA due to small bowel lesion risk at higher concentrations. This form is alkaline, beneficial for reducing urinary calcium excretion and lowering risk of calcium oxalate kidney stones. Adequate potassium intake (4700mg daily from diet) lowers blood pressure by counteracting sodium’s effects and reduces stroke risk. This supplement is intended to complement dietary sources (bananas, potatoes, spinach, avocados). 180 capsules. Take one capsule twice daily with meals and plenty of water. Contraindications: kidney disease (impaired excretion can cause hyperkalemia), ACE inhibitors, potassium-sparing diuretics (amiloride, spironolactone), and NSAIDs. Do not take on an empty stomach.
