Potassium Citrate

Potassium Citrate 99mg

Potassium is an essential macromineral and the primary intracellular electrolyte in the human body. It is the third most abundant mineral in the body and is required for virtually every cell to function — playing a central role in maintaining the electrochemical gradient across cell membranes that drives nerve conduction, muscle contraction, and cellular nutrient transport. Adequate potassium intake is one of the most important dietary factors for cardiovascular and metabolic wellness.

Potassium Citrate is a highly bioavailable organic potassium salt formed by the combination of potassium with citric acid. Unlike potassium chloride, Potassium Citrate is alkalising — it raises urinary pH, making it particularly well suited to urinary and kidney wellness applications. It is one of the most widely used and well-tolerated forms of potassium in dietary supplementation. Each capsule provides 99mg of elemental Potassium Citrate.

Note: The recommended daily intake of potassium for adults is 2,800–3,800mg/day. Food remains the optimal primary source of potassium — rich sources include bananas, avocados, sweet potato, leafy greens, legumes, and dairy. This supplement is intended to complement dietary intake, not replace it.

Key Nutritional Roles of Potassium

• Cardiovascular function — potassium is required for normal cardiac muscle function and plays a central role in maintaining healthy heart rhythm and cardiovascular wellness; it is one of the most important minerals for cardiovascular wellness
• Nerve conduction — potassium is required for the generation and transmission of nerve impulses; the sodium-potassium pump (Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase) maintains the electrochemical gradient essential for nerve and muscle function
• Muscle function — potassium is required for normal skeletal and smooth muscle contraction and relaxation; potassium insufficiency is associated with muscle weakness and cramping
• Electrolyte & fluid balance — potassium is the primary intracellular electrolyte and plays a central role in maintaining cellular fluid balance and osmotic regulation
• Urinary & kidney wellness — Potassium Citrate is alkalising and raises urinary pH; it is widely used in nutritional practice for urinary and kidney wellness support
• Bone wellness — Potassium Citrate’s alkalising properties support bone mineralisation by reducing urinary calcium excretion; adequate potassium intake is associated with bone density wellness
• Metabolic wellness — potassium plays a role in carbohydrate metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and glucose transport into cells
• Blood pressure wellness — potassium is one of the most important dietary minerals for blood pressure wellness; adequate potassium intake supports healthy sodium-potassium balance

Why Potassium Citrate?

Potassium Citrate is one of the most bioavailable and well-tolerated forms of potassium available as a dietary supplement. Its organic citrate salt form is gentler on the digestive tract than potassium chloride, and its alkalising properties make it particularly well suited to urinary pH and kidney wellness applications. It is the preferred form of potassium in many nutritional and naturopathic protocols.

Why 99mg?

Dietary supplement potassium products are typically formulated at 99mg per dose — this reflects standard supplemental dosing practice for potassium, which is intended to complement dietary intake rather than replace it. The recommended daily intake of potassium is 2,800–3,800mg/day for adults, the vast majority of which should come from food. Multiple capsules may be taken daily under practitioner guidance.

How to Use

Take 1 capsule daily as a dietary supplement, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Best taken with food to minimise gastric discomfort. Multiple capsules may be taken daily under practitioner guidance.

Precautions

Important: Potassium plays a critical role in cardiac function — both potassium insufficiency and excess can affect heart rhythm. Do not exceed the recommended dose without practitioner guidance. Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you have kidney conditions — impaired kidney function affects potassium excretion and can lead to potassium accumulation. Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you are taking potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, or other medications that affect potassium levels. Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you have a history of cardiac arrhythmia. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without practitioner guidance. Keep out of reach of children.
