POTASSIUM CITRATE 350 mg VEGAN PRODUCT 120 CAPSULES

Potassium Citrate 350 mg - vegan, 120 capsules

Potassium citrate is a single-ingredient preparation: potassium is the only active ingredient, and the list of ingredients ends with it and the plant-based capsule shell, with no additives. The manufacturer provides two numbers instead of one, and this 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 portion consists of two capsules, so the full portion 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 portion. 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 and 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% RDI)
• Two capsules, i.e. daily portion: potassium citrate 1944 mg, including 700 mg of potassium ions (35% RDI)
• Shell: VCAPS capsule, plant cellulose (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose)
• Without sugar, without salt, without starch - manufacturer’s declaration

The composition closes with two items: potassium citrate and the capsule shell. The shell is a VCAPS capsule made of plant cellulose, i.e. hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. The manufacturer declares the preparation as vegan and NON-GMO and free from sugar, salt, and starch; additionally, it has a vegetarian status and a gluten-free declaration. One active ingredient has a practical consequence: the preparation can be easily added to magnesium already being used, 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.

How to use

The manufacturer provides one scheme and directly links it to the second column of the composition table:

• Two capsules once a day
• Do not exceed the recommended portion
• Pregnant and breastfeeding women, individuals under 18 years of age, and sick individuals should consult a doctor before use

Two capsules are taken once a day, so the portion can easily be linked to a fixed point in the day. Swallow the capsules whole and drink with water. If you are taking any medications, especially those that affect potassium levels, discuss the use of the preparation with your doctor before taking it.

For whom

This is a choice for someone who consciously wants to supplement only potassium and does not need another multi-ingredient preparation. It will work if you have already managed magnesium separately and do not want to duplicate it, or if you simply prefer products with a short and clear list of ingredients that can be read in a few seconds. It will also be suitable 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 preparation 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 is one question and a minute of conversation.

Frequently asked questions

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

It refers to the content of potassium ions in one capsule. The manufacturer’s table clearly states: 972 mg of potassium citrate in a 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 preparations.

How many capsules make up a daily portion?

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 portion: 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 is not. The ingredient list mentions potassium in the form of potassium citrate and the shell, i.e. the VCAPS capsule made of plant cellulose. The manufacturer declares the absence of sugar, salt, and starch, as well as NON-GMO status. Besides these two items, the list contains nothing more: neither a second mineral, nor a vitamin, nor a flavoring substance.

What makes up the shell and what declarations does the preparation have?

The shell is a VCAPS capsule made of plant cellulose, i.e. hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, so the formula is free from gelatin. The manufacturer declares the product as vegan and vegetarian based on this, and separately states NON-GMO status, absence of gluten, absence of added sugar, and absence of salt and starch. The country of origin stated on the card is Poland.

Variants and category
