So it says 100 mg of potassium is max allowed in pill but these are much higher, which i actually am glad about , but still how ? Scam or not?

21CFR201.306 says that the warning statement has to be labeled when a "potassium salt" pill provides more than 100mg of potassium "per tablet." Potassium bicarbonate, like potassium chloride and potassium citrate, is a potassium salt. It's unclear whether these actually contain <100mg potassium or just omit the warning statement.

how come this is way more than the legal limit of 99mg per cap?

I don't know the "legal" answer. However, the nutritional answer is that 98% of the US population eats below the 4.7g of potassium to meet the "adequate" level of the World Health Organization. A study of added Potassium Bicarbonate increased aorta flexibility, significantly increased endothelial function, reduces left ventricular mass, etc. Another study in Taiwan showed that increased Potassium salt reduced CVD mortality by 41%.Disclosure: I am just a knowledgeable consumer with no conflict of interests.

Does the two capsule give 1020 mg of potassium or 1020 mg of potassium bicarbonate?

Potassium Bicarbonate is only 39% Potassium. The new RDI for Potassium for adult men and women is 4,700 mg. So in order to hit this number using this particular supplement alone, you must ingest 12,240 of potassium bicarbonate to hit 4773.6 mg of elemental potassium by taking 12 capsules a day. You can divide it and do 6 in the morning and 6 at night! There is no upper limit on potassium so this is generally safe! Hope this was helpful!

Does anyone have a picture of the pill size? I have taken other potassium pills before and typically gag on bigger pills. Please advise. Thank you.

It's not huge. I gag easily too, but it's fine, just a capsule with powder. Love that you can take just one pill for a 1/2 a dose--so the 1020 mg advertised, is actually 1/2 of that amount if you only take one capsule. It's better to take less with potassium at first because you can take too much. Some see this as a negative, but I prefer it.

Seems Great

They appear to be great quality and land high up on rating and review lists. They’re easy to take and so far not found a dud. I can’t see anything to prove that reputation isn’t earned.

Excellent support

Im on prescribed water pills and I need potassium or i feel terrible. This helps me tremendously with the muscle pain. And I mean no pain whatsoever. The minute I stopped taking in my pain comes back so yes it's a very very good product

High potency potassium

We have taken this supplement for about a year. Blood pressure stays in the normal range most of the time. We are elderly and this high potassium together with the magnesium and vitamin D eliminates the need for medication. We don’t worry about the calcium nor the sodium. Also vitamin K2 to keep the calcium in the bone and away from the soft tissue. We don’t pay attention to the cholesterol hype. Finally a low carb (not low fat) and low sugar diet to round everything results are surprisingly positive.

Clean potassium supplement that is easy to stick with

This potassium supplement has been a really solid add to my routine. I like that it is a simple formula with no additives and it is made in the USA. The capsules are easy enough to take, and the bottle size is good. You get 120 capsules which works out to 60 servings, so it lasts a while. I started taking it mainly for general support like muscle and overall wellness, and it has been easy to stay consistent with. It has no weird taste and no stomach issues for me. I also appreciate that the label is straightforward about what you are getting. If you want a higher potency potassium option without a bunch of extra fillers, this one is worth a try.

helps prevent muscle cramps

I have been using this potassium supplement close to a year now. I've had to be on a diuretic for almost 2 years now, which brings severe muscle cramps due to the dehydration. The hard pills (Potassium) never really digested correctly whereas these capsules have. Occasionally I'll get a cramp but it's no where near the pain level or frequency as before.
