I have been taking potassium citrate 1080 MG SA Tabs three times a day two caps at a time. That replaces "K citrate 20mg" given to me as a sample from my urologist. It was very expensive so it was switched to the 1080 MG SA tabs. Now, the question - how does Vitamin Shoppe Potassium Citrate 99mg compare to the others?
Dr has prescribed 5mg of potassium Citrate for the clearing of urine producing stones. Is this the same or more than the 5mg?

Best Answer:  I would like to add that all over-the-counter potassium is just 99 milligrams by law. This is why doctors tend to prescribe it for patients that need considerably more - so you don't have to take a lot of pills all day long. The doctors can also prescribe time-release potassium. However, as pointed out, prescriptions are expensive and often unnecessary when you can just buy the OTC version and take a few more pills. I have always found that time-release doesn't work very well anyway and spreading your potassium out throughout the day is the best way to take it to avoid gastric upset. Always take with food or a large glass of water unless instructed otherwise by your physician.

This product is sold as a capsule, can it be crushed or cut in half?

Best Answer:  I am not finding information on the website to explain what a capsule is. That would help.

Their capsules are actually clear tubes with powdered potassium citrate in it. You can open the tubes and pour out the powder, so this might work for what you have in mind. You could pour out half of the powder or any amount that you want. You could use the other end of the tube to pour an equal amount in both ends and get exactly half.

I very much like their vitamins.

Feel free to send more questions.

Still waiting for a reasonable answer as to why Potassium dosings are mandated at such low rates?… Would have to take 40 of such 99mg pills to get the K I need in a day (face palm).  Does make you wonder if there is a conspiracy to keep people functioning below par.

One can get three times this 99mg amount by just eating one banana, or one serving of potato, in any form.  (face palm again).

Best Answer:  The FDA limits over-the-counter potassium supplements to less than 100 milligrams (mg) because high levels of potassium can be dangerous. Please speak with a medical professional for more information.

How many mEq (potassium citrate) to the 99mg are in the pills?

Best Answer:  There are 99 mg of potassium (k) approximate equivalent to 2.44 Milliequivalents (MEQs).

Is this item non GMO?

Best Answer:  This item is not listed as non-gmo.

Is this certified gluten free?

Best Answer:  Yes, this item is gluten free.

What is the differences between types of Potassium?

Best Answer:  potassium asporotate is far better assimilated (absorbed) - Potassium citrate would be in second place.

Are these capsules average size, or larger?
