NOW Foods Supplements, Potassium Citrate 99 mg, Supports Electrolyte Balance and Normal pH*, Essential Mineral, 180 veg Capsules

So I have spent a few years searching for a good potassium supplement. In America, they come in low doses because potassium is very potent to the cardiovascular system. Many supplements have different forms such as "oxide" or "citrate" or "orotate" or "gluconate". Depending on the reason you need to take the supplement, you might need to consider a different compound of the supplement. Potassium citrate is considered to be the most absorbable form of potassium supplement. I am often cautious when buying supplements online. You can get sub-par supplements that could come from another country and may not be what they are being sold as. I researched this company prior to buying and I found on several whole food and clean eating web sites that this brand often made it onto a list of, for example, "50 most ethical supplement companies." I used to get really bad leg cramps and adding the potassium helped a little. For some reason, adding zinc orotate along with the potassium really helped. I have a heart condition and this specific potassium supplement does not bother the condition. I would recommend speaking with your doctor and being informed from multiple, reputable sources before beginning a supplement regiment. If you start taking potassium, begin with one dose each day for a few days to see how it effects you. You do not want to start with a high doese and have it adversely effect your heart or other systems in your body. If you have kidney problems, definitely talk to your doctor or specialist before beginning potassium supplements. Normally it can take about two weeks for you to be able to notice any differences the supplement may make. If you tolerate one pill well and you believe you need a higher dose, take one pill twice a day. I currently take 2 pills twice daily. 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. Potassium can be a mild diuretic so I avoid taking a dose in the evening. I added the extra doses after I began an intense exercise program and my muscles were crampy and I felt they needed a little more potassium to help them recover. I have not noticed a benefit when I have previously tried potassium. I believe this particular potassium capsule contains 3% of the daily value of potassium, so you should still try to get most of your potassium in your diet. I have food allergies (bananas and lots of other fruits) so the potassium supplement does help me get the nutrition I can't get from my diet. With THIS brand of potassium, the NOW Potassium Citrate, I have noticed less muscle cramps and some other improvements in my over all health. This will most likely be the potassium supplement I will be loyal to for a long time. So yes, I do love this supplement and give it 5 stars. I have not found any other potassium supplement that I continued to take because it did not feel beneficial. This one makes a difference for me. This supplement is a capsule. It is medium sized. The picture is of the supplement next to a dime in my hand for size comparison. I know many people are concerned with how big supplements are. This supplement is not "small" per se, and is larger than many postassium gluconate supplements with the same mcg dose. I think the effectiveness of potassium citrate compared to potassium gluconate is a good trade off. I would rather take a pill that is much more effective and a little larger than to take a pill that is smaller and less effective.

“I’ve been using this NOW Potassium Citrate 99 mg supplement as part of my daily routine. Each bottle comes with 180 vegetarian capsules, which is great value for the size. I like that it supports electrolyte balance and normal pH levels, and it’s easy to swallow. The capsules are simple to take and don’t have any strong taste. NOW is a brand I recognize, and the packaging feels secure and well-made. If you’re looking for a potassium supplement in capsule form, this is a convenient option to consider.”

For some reason because I have to pee a lot, old bladder, I get low on potassium, and this brand works to replenish for me. It's worth the money for sure.

Good product would purchase again

I’ve had gout for past 5 years. Mine generally were so painful I was out of commission for a month. Last year I had 3 gout attacks and was on my last straw. Colchicine did not work, Tart Cherry failed, cranberry nope, Uric Acid product no, and steroids only helped get me through the pain. I would get them despite not drinking alcohol, eating seafood or pork or any of the other things and I workout regularly. After my 3rd attack last year I was ready to throw in the towel and sign up for a lifetime of Alopurinal. Before I made that costly and lifetime decision I decided to look up OTC alternatives and discovered potassium citrate helps balance the Uric Acid levels (as opposed to the others which help rid the body of UricAcid). Happy to say I have gone 10 months now without an attack. Every so often I will feel a twinge in my toe and will take an pill before bed, but I am taking it about every other day … not even daily. And I have started to eat more meats and had a few tough drinking days and take the pill on those days and again zero attacks. So 10/10 would recommend trying these. not only have they worked for me, but they are only about $10 for 6 moth supply. So hopefully they work for you and if not, it’s a cheap trial.

NOW Foods Potassium Citrate 99 mg is one of those straightforward supplements that does not try to be flashy. It gives you a modest dose in capsule form, which makes it easy to add alongside your other basics without overcomplicating your routine. The ingredient list is clean and exactly what you expect. I like that it feels practical. No mega doses, no trendy branding, just a steady way to support your daily intake. If you are looking to round out your supplement lineup with something simple and reliable, this one fits in without fuss.

I appreciate the NOW brand. I will choose it over many other brands. Potassium is very essential to the body and mine was running too low so I was glad that I found these supplements and then an OW brand. Great product, great price.

I use the potassium supplements daily. I choose the NOW brand supplements because are third-party tested and certified. I didn't want fillers in my supplements. NOW Foods uses independent labs for validation, holds Informed Sport certification for sports products, and is UL® National Brand Certified. I also learned they maintain GMP certification with an "A" rating from the NPA. I wanted a pure product with a reasonable price.

Recomendado

This is my go to stuff for a relaxed and depp sleep.

good

The best form of Potassium to take when on a diet like Keto. Also Citrate has an alkaline effect on the body like lemons. And unlike Nutrilite Daily, this comes with a seal intact.
