Who it's for

This potassium supplement suits adults who want to top up an electrolyte that is easy to fall short on — especially people who eat few fruits and vegetables, sweat heavily, or lead active lifestyles and want to support healthy fluid balance, muscle function and normal pH.* Because potassium interacts with several common medications and with kidney function, it is best for people who can use it within their doctor's awareness.*

Suggested use

Take 1/2 level teaspoon 1 to 4 times daily in separate servings. Mix with at least 8 oz. of water or other beverage and take with food. Do not exceed 4 servings per day. Store in a cool, dry place after opening.

Frequently asked questions

What does potassium do?
Potassium is a key electrolyte that helps maintain healthy fluid balance and acid-base (pH) balance, supports proper muscle contraction and nerve-impulse transmission, and is important for healthy heart function.* Many people fall short of the recommended intake because they don't eat enough fruits and vegetables.*

How much potassium is in each serving?
Each serving provides 175 mg of elemental potassium. By law, potassium supplements are limited to modest per-serving amounts, so this is meant to complement — not replace — the potassium you get from a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.*

How should I take it?
Take this powder with food and at least 8 oz of water, and do not exceed the number of servings listed on the label. Spacing servings through the day and taking them with meals supports comfort and steady intake.*

Cautions & interactions

Potassium balance matters, so talk to your doctor before use if you take any medication that affects kidney function or blood potassium — such as ACE inhibitors, ARBs, potassium-sparing diuretics or certain blood-pressure and heart medications — or if you have a heart, kidney or diabetic condition. Do not exceed the labeled number of servings per day, take each serving with food and a full glass of water, and space servings apart.
