Potassium Chloride Powder, 1 Kg (2.2 Pounds), Salt Substitute & Electrolyte Powder, Pure Potassium Chloride Supplement, Helps Lower Blood Pressure, Essential Mineral, Filler Free and Dissolve Easily

Seems ok

This is very effective for increasing potassium fast! I noticed a physical difference right away because I have problems getting enough potassium, so I know how it feels to be too low without even running labs. That said, this works very well, and it's affordable. I just put the powder in water, and it doesn't taste fantastic, but I don't care because I want a clean supplement without fillers. This powder is clean, it dissolves clear in seconds of stirring, and again, I have instant results. I would definitely repurchase and recommend to others. Excellent value for the quality.

I used to take too much of this stuff. I thought, "Hey, the RDA is like 4800mg, right? So I should be fine if I just take it before bed." We, as humans, are able to balance out and shuffle around a certain amount of potassium at any one time. When you get 4.8g of potassium, over an entire day, through food like potatoes or vegetables that the body has to digest and absorb over time, it can generally handle it just fine. When you use a supplement, it is absorbed extremely quickly and can cause serious heart issues, among other things. Trust me on this, I was in the hospital for accidentally using potassium instead of glucose in a prescription formula I had to make each meal. 20g of Potassium in one go... Heart rate dropped down to the 40s before I stabilized (and that was with all the stuff they were giving me.) Make sure you limit any intake to 200mg-400mg in a sitting. If you need a high level of potassium, you can probably get 5-7 200mg-400mg doses throughout the day, spaced a few hours apart each. However, you're also going to be adding a bunch of chloride into your diet, and so I really wouldn't go more than 1000mg total in a day with this stuff. Try to get your potassium from foods, this is only meant to be a slight boost, not a replacement. Normal potassium in foods is in the form of potassium bicarbonate, and is more alkaline, whereas this stuff is paired with chloride (normally found in salt,) and can skew the balance if it's the majority of your potassium intake. Be responsible. This stuff has a purpose, but it's in small amounts, spaced apart, and only meant to supplement an already adequate diet if you need some extra potassium for some reason. (In my case, I will be reordering because I require extra potassium while on a certain medication, and am struggling to get enough to keep my levels normal (potassium wasting in the cells) even while eating a diet heavy in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Quality stuff though. Tastes bad on its own, but in the amounts you should be using (tiny tiny,) it should be a pleasant alternative (although I like to use it in tandem with) to salt.

My nephrologist instructed me to increase my potassium intake, and this does just the trick. It dissolves well and leaves no aftertaste. I appreciate that the label lists the weight of just the potassium element in the content per serving, not the entire weight of the compounded potassium. Other potassium replacements include the weight of the other elements (citrate, chloride, gluconate, etc...) in the compound in the "potassium" content listed. This is misleading in other brands because the actual potassium contained per serving is much less then the weight of the compound.

Really good stuff to have. I make my own electrolyte drink and use this item as part of the ingredients. This one bag has last us for a while now. Worth the buy.
