NOW Supplements, Potassium Citrate Powder, Supports Electrolyte Balance and Normal pH*, Essential Mineral, 12-Ounce

As others have mentioned this does not taste great but I’m using for health to make a DIY electrolyte mix, and taste is not my main priority. This is a good quality potassium powder to use for optimizing electrolyte levels especially for keto, intermittent fasting and omad folks where getting our electrolytes right is critical. I literally spent hours researching all available options on Amazon, and weeded out almost every other option due to either lack of certification or cost. This one was the best. How to use: Dissolve it in 1/2 cup hot water then 8 ounces water total. Mix with sodium and / or magnesium for DIY electrolyte powder at a fraction of the cost. Add citric acid and stevia to improve the flavor, or raw dog it without any additives if you can put up with a salty bitter tasting liquid. How much to use? Depends on what you’re using it and what your body weight etc. I’m using 1/8 teaspoon right now but that might change. In all honesty I’m checking with ChatGPT and based on my symptoms (heart palpitations after fasting, it gave me the perfect answer which was take a 1/4 teaspoon of sodium, (dissolved in water) then if palpitations continue, add 1/8 teaspoon potassium (dissolved in water). Worked perfectly, and palpitations stopped completely in about 20 mins. Once my fasting is more stable I’ll find the right ratio to mix into a balance of sodium + potassium + magnesium, but for now I’m being more deliberate to manage GI symptoms. A good reason to create your own “DIY” electrolyte powder instead of using pre-packaged ones. Almost all pre-packaged electrolytes have a lot of non-necessary additives that are inappropriate for those who are being very intentional with every single molecule they intake, which is even more important during fasting period.

Electrolyte packets are almost scams; you pay nearly a dollar per packet that contains a few cents worth of ingredients. Buying ingredients like this directly is much much more cost effective! It’s also better than dedicated “potassium supplements” because pill-form supplements can only contain a tiny amount of potassium (2%) for safety reasons. Mixing potassium citrate into a drink allows you to get 13-25% of your potassium target in a single beverage. Just mix it with something to mask the flavor!

Potassium is critical for a body and when I don't get enough I get muscle cramps in my legs at night. As long as I take a 1/4 teaspon a day of this potassium citrate powder (mixed in a drink or with yogart) I have no issues with cramping. It is a good product and it works.

All the taste is strong. I like the fact that you don't need that much to get 500 milligrams. I usually put the powders in my coffee, but this thing is very very strong tasting.

Item as described. Good quality. Great value.

The powder allows one to get a substantive amount. I used this to get of BP meds. My Dr is perplexed by this, sort of sad that something so simple is beyond his 'allopathic medicine brain'. I tried various RX BP meds over the years, this is the first thing that actually worked.

I don’t sweat. Nope, not even when I have tons of bananas! But if I have one serving of this daily (which is only like 10% dv), then I’ll sweat. It’s the strangest thing. I prefer mixing it a protein shake but I think it would be fine in other flavored drinks. I can’t taste it, and I’m picky! Be careful of the amount to take because too much supplemental potassium at once can make the heart feel wonky.

Happy.

5 Star product

De los Citratos de potasio que he probado, éste es el mejor…. La combinación con el CITRATO de magnesio en verdad me funcionó.

it tastes so bad it would make most humans puke and the dose cannot be more than half table spoon which is as much potassium in as in one banana. better eat a banana or a potato than dissolving this pure powder that your body probably isnt even absorbing it as well as from real food
