Now Foods Potassium Citrate Powder 12 Ounce, 12.0 Ounce

Quality supplement.

As many of us doing keto know, our bodies flush out electrolytes like there's no tomorrow.This potassium citrate is a perfect way to supplement potassium and keep those annoying cramps away. I mix small amounts into my flavored water throughout the day to make sure I'm reaching my daily recommended amount.I highly prefer using potassium citrate instead of the salt substitute potassium chloride because it doesn't have a salty taste and is easier to mask behind other flavors.

The best way to get potassium is to eat a banana, but they go bad and I can't really keep bananas at the office or while I'm traveling. Another way to get potassium is salt substitutes, which are usually made with potassium chloride, but this is salty and slightly bitter. This stuff is potassium citrate, which has a much less detectable flavor than KCl, slightly salty but also a bit sweet and not bitter. I've mixed a 1/4 tsp into a glass of Crystal Light or homemade "Greaterade" and couldn't tell the difference.As with all supplements, use in moderation and consult your doctor first if you have any medical conditions or take medications. There are a number of potential drug interactions including insulin, antibiotics, and heart drugs among others. It can also irritate your stomach if the concentration is too high.

For some strange reason potassium supplements are usually restricted to100mg, or better 99 strangely. This powder can be taken in any concentration. Potassium is needed on a cellular level, the RDA for potassium is 4700 for adults, which is really hard to get from foods. Most people are potassium deficient, which causes many symptoms such as muscle cramps, bloating, water retention, insomnia, blood pressure issues etc. I have had calf cramps and severe insomnia for many years, thinking it's magnesium I need to up. Until I heard about potassium and it's many benefits, also to the nervous system. I am happy to say I can already see an improvement by supplementing about 1000 - 2000mg per day on days where I am sure my diet did not supply the recommended 4700mg. Foods highest in potassium are potatoes, sweet potatoes, avocados, bananas, spinach (cooked), salmon. Heck, even a cup of my beloved coffee has 120mg of it. Guys, coffee is good for you....:))))

You will have to transfer the contents to a shorter and wider screw-lid container for ease of use.

Completely dissolves in water unlike some other types of potassium.

I love the ease of this crystal form. It not powdered, it similar to salt crystals. Extremely affordable if you compare dose to doe to the 99mg caps Im supposed to use a lot, and this allows me yo do it easy, in my coffee, on food, etc! AWESOME

In the 60s, the USDA regulated the amount of potassium available over-the-counter to 99 mg. That’s a joke because we need 4700 mg per day. I like this product in a powdered form so that I can take the amount that I need.

Happy.

البوتاسيوم بصيغة ستريت هو ما ينصح به اخصائيوا التغذية وهو نفسه في هذا المنتج

5 Star product

it tastes so bad it would make most humans puke and the dose cannot be more than half table spoon which is as much potassium in as in one banana. better eat a banana or a potato than dissolving this pure powder that your body probably isnt even absorbing it as well as from real food
