Key Facts

Potassium is an electrolyte mineral that regulates nerve signaling, muscle contraction, and heart rhythm
Supports cardiovascular function and energy production at the cellular level
Potassium citrate is a highly absorbable form that addresses inadequate dietary intake
Each capsule delivers 99 mg of potassium in a clean, convenient format

Ingredients

Potassium (as potassium citrate), hypromellose capsule, leucine, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide.

Why We Chose This

Most people don't get enough potassium from food alone, which can quietly affect how your nerves fire, muscles contract, and heart beats. Potassium citrate is the form your body absorbs most efficiently because the citrate component enhances bioavailability. This formulation delivers a meaningful dose in a single capsule without unnecessary fillers, making it practical for anyone looking to fill a common nutritional gap that matters for long-term cardiovascular and metabolic health.
