Good stuff
Was diagnosed with low potassium after an ER visit. Found this little gem and haven't had issues since. I don't take it every day (I'm lazy I forget) but I keep it in my desk at work and try to take it whenever I remember. I also take it along with my medicine to help PMS cramps.

Mislabeled bottles
I ordered potassium in capsules. The labels on the bottles says capsules but the pills inside are tablets. Much harder to swallow.

Great product n price
Used regularly because of charlie horses and dehydration. I read that K+ helps bowel movements too. It is water soluble so you pee off what your body doesn't need. I find taking it every other day works good for me.

This mineral may have saved my life!
My medication caused extreme muscle weakness to the point where I had to crawl to get around. I will die without this medication so I started taking Potassium and all muscle weakness disappeared! Needless to say, I won't go anywhere else to purchase this vital mineral since Vitamin Shoppe has the best prices!

5 Questions
Why did you choose this?

Need it

Excellent

Price

To take along magnesium

Why is one capsule only 3% of your daily requirements?

Best Answer:  Because it's a very small quantity of potassium. A better source might be dried apricots.

is this product produced using soy?
hello,
lost my med insurance so now I cannot afford my doctors prescriptions. One is : "pot citrate er tabs 100's made by usher-smith. I take it to prevent uric acid kidney stones. My question is can I take these, over the counter drugs instead ? Obviously the cheaper cost is a major factor.

also, 100's is written on my last prescrip bottle. I thought amounts were always mg ? whats the equvlnt to this "100s" written on my prescrip bottle ?

thank you, matthew

Best Answer:  First of all, I am NOT a health care provider so any advice I give should be taken with a--I was going to say "grain of salt," but if you're trying to manage kidney stones, you must know to watch your salt intake!

The "100s" on your prescription for the Upsher-Smith product confuses me as I can't find that reference anywhere.

But I can't recommend two sites with excellent advice for self-care given a history of uric acid kidney stones--the National Institutes of Health and WebMD.

It appears the 99mg potassium citrate from the Vitamin Shoppe taken three times a day may be the equivalent of what you were taking.

This product. people's experience with it, advice on using it?

Best Answer:  I was taking it because I didn't think I was getting enough potassium in my diet - 1 capsule in the morning and 1 at night - can be reduced to 1 per day. I later found that several of my medications had potassium in them and I ended up with a higher level of potassium than was necessary. I no longer take it.
