POTASSIUM CITRATE 350 mg VEGAN PRODUCT 120 CAPSULES

Potassium citrate 350 mg - vegan, 120 capsules

Potassium citrate is a single-ingredient product: potassium is the only active ingredient, and the ingredient list ends with it and the plant capsule shell, without any additives. The manufacturer provides two numbers instead of one, and that is the most important here. One capsule contains 972 mg of potassium citrate, of which 350 mg is potassium ions, which is 17.5% of the reference intake value. The daily serving consists of two capsules, so the full serving is 1944 mg of citrate and 700 mg of potassium ions, which is 35% of the reference value. Both values are provided by the manufacturer in separate columns of the composition table - one for the capsule, the other for the daily serving. The shell is plant-based, and the manufacturer declares the formula as vegan and NON-GMO. The product is made in Poland, and the packaging should be stored in a cool, dry place.

Ingredients

Content according to the manufacturer's table, in two columns:

• One capsule: potassium citrate 972 mg, including 350 mg of potassium ions (17.5% RDA)
• Two capsules, which is the daily serving: potassium citrate 1944 mg, including 700 mg of potassium ions (35% RDA)
• Shell: VCAPS capsule, plant cellulose (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose)
• Bez cukru, bez soli, bez skrobi - deklaracja producenta

The composition ends with two items: potassium citrate and the capsule shell. The shell is a VCAPS capsule made of plant cellulose, that is, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. The manufacturer declares the product as vegan and NON-GMO, as well as free from sugar, salt, and starch; it also has a vegetarian status and a gluten-free declaration. Having one active ingredient has practical implications: the product can be easily added to already used magnesium, as it only provides potassium. Check the allergen declaration on the packaging - this is information that is worth confirming for specific batches in case of intolerances.

• Two capsules once a day
• Do not exceed the recommended serving
• Pregnant and breastfeeding women, individuals under 18 years of age, and those who are ill should consult a doctor beforehand

Two capsules are taken once a day, so the serving can easily be linked to a regular point in the day. Swallow the capsules whole and drink with water. If you are taking any medications, especially those affecting potassium levels, discuss the use of the product with your doctor before starting.

Who is it for

This is a choice for someone who consciously wants to supplement only potassium and does not need another multi-ingredient product. It is suitable if you already have magnesium covered separately and do not want to duplicate it, or if you simply prefer products with a short and clear ingredient list that can be read in a few seconds. It is also useful if you prefer to dose potassium separately, regardless of other minerals. However, potassium is an ingredient that interacts with medications. Individuals with kidney diseases, taking potassium-sparing diuretics or blood pressure medications from the ACE inhibitor group, should determine the use of such a product with their doctor, rather than starting it on their own. This is not a precautionary warning, but a real interaction worth checking before purchase, not after. If you are unsure, ask your pharmacist - it's just one question and a minute of conversation.

Frequently asked questions

What does the number 350 mg in the name refer to?

To the content of potassium ions in one capsule. The manufacturer's table clearly states: 972 mg of potassium citrate in the capsule provides 350 mg of potassium itself, which is 17.5% of the reference intake value. This is not the mass of the entire capsule or the mass of the salt, but the content of the element, which is compared between products.

How many capsules make up a daily serving?

Two, taken once a day. The manufacturer states this both in the usage instructions and in the second column of the composition table, which shows the full serving: 1944 mg of potassium citrate and 700 mg of potassium ions, corresponding to 35% of the reference intake value. Both columns are on the label, and nothing needs to be recalculated.

Is there anything in the composition besides potassium?

No, there isn't. The ingredient list mentions potassium in the form of potassium citrate and the shell, that is, the VCAPS capsule made of plant cellulose. The manufacturer also declares the absence of sugar, salt, and starch, as well as a NON-GMO status. Besides these two items, the list contains nothing more: neither a second mineral, nor a vitamin, nor a flavoring substance.

The coating consists of a VCAPS capsule made from plant cellulose, specifically hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, so the formulation is free from gelatin. The manufacturer declares the product to be vegan and vegetarian, and additionally notes that it is NON-GMO, gluten-free, contains no added sugar, and is free from salt and starch.
