BulkSupplementscom Potassium Chloride Powder - Salt Substitute, Potassium Salt - Gluten Free, 200mg per Serving, 1kg (2.2 lbs) (Pack of 1)

Huge fan of bulk supplements. Always great products at reasonable prices.

I’ve been using BulkSupplements Potassium Chloride Powder for a while now, and I couldn’t be happier with it! The quality is excellent, and it’s an easy way to get my potassium intake without the hassle of pills or tablets. The powder is gluten-free, which is a plus for me, and I love that it comes in a large, 1kg pack, making it super cost-effective. I mix it with my smoothies, and it dissolves easily without any aftertaste. If you're looking for a reliable potassium supplement, this one is definitely worth trying!

So I purchased this potassium supplement because I have chronic cramping in 5 muscle groups and after evaluating my diet and finding I am severely potassium deficient with a diet containing at best 20% recommended dv.Bananas are cheap but its a chore to eat 12 bananas per day, sweet potatoes are cheap as well but Im not gonna eat 8 or 9 sweet potatoes in a day either as they have to much starch. I ordered some 595mg supplement only to find out I would need to take like half the bottle per day to even come close to my recommended dv with my diet.So I ordered this, Just took 3 grams (3000mg) on my first day and plan to work up to more. 3g should yield about 98% bioavailability in the body giving me 14.7% Daily Value in that serving. What a great value! Much more convenient than buying it myself and dealing with a lab chemical supplier.That being said you absolutely NEED to talk to your doctor before you supplement potassium and should not be taking OTC Potassium without a doctors supervision if you have ANY heart or blood pressure problems.Hyperkalemia, (too much potassium in the blood) can literally make you have a heart attack and kill you dead very fast (minutes) so please use responsibly and take great care before using this supplement.DO NOT take doses of 3 Grams or dose more than stated on the container unless you truly do your research and know what you are doing. I have degrees in science and biology, so I know exactly what I am doing so don't copy me.

I buy / use / recommend both this product (potassium chloride) as well as potassium citrate. They taste and react differently in foods and have different purposes in the body.DIETARY USE:If you are looking to use this as a dietary supplement, there is some further investigating you might consider so please see the warning* below.Suggested dietary usage of potassium supplements:1.) Potassium Chloride (KCl) is a form of potassium for people who have low levels of potassium (hypokalemia). It dissolves easily in water and is used as a salt substitute.2.) Potassium Citrate is an alkalizing agent. It's medicinal use is for when your urine is too acidic, which may result in a mild urinary tract infection, such as cystitis which is when your doctor may prescribe potassium citrate. Because of it's alkalinity, an ideal use for potassium citrate is to mix it with lemonade, which will make the drink a bit smoother in an enjoyable way. This ingredient is often added to commercial beverages for this benefit.*WARNING: If your bloodwork does not consistently indicate low potassium (K) levels, you may want to request a second draw. It is actually commonplace to get a false-positive test in potassium deficiency based on the method of the blood draw. (Example: New phlebotomists often use a butterfly needle for their own ease, will commonly get a false-low potassium read - common in the elderly with more difficult veins to draw from).GARDENING:For use in gardening, potassium chloride is the purest form of Potash, which is the 3rd number on any fertilizer blend formula (example: 8-4-12). Because potassium raises the pH of your soil, it is especially beneficial for plants that like more alkaline soils like artichokes, tomatillos, collards, arugula, and broccoli. Potassium chloride rapidly dissolves in soil water and is highly concentrated, so check you soil pH often and adjust gradually.Please click "yes" if this review was helpful! Thanks!

Other reviews have 1 star because this product is not "pure". It has magnesium as a second ingredient. I don't mind that however. I looked it up and it helps with constipation.I am using it as a salt substitute. As well as a supplement. I filled up my salt shaker with 1/3 real salt and 2/3 Potassium Chloride. And I also make my own electrolytes with this.

Most of us don't get enough potassium in our diets. We get plenty of sodium! But we need more potassium to go with it. In fact the average adult needs around 4000 mg (yes that's 4 grams) per day! This stuff tastes just like table salt (sodium chloride) and it's just what your body needs. I have replaced ALL my table salt with this stuff! My blood pressure has actually decreased since I switched over! And I'm not a big salt user!For those who couldn't imagine going without salt, this could be your answer.

I'm 54 and still do CrossFit and weight training but over the last few years it has a little more difficult putting on and keeping muscle along with recovery. Without the proper amount of potassium chloride all of that can come to halt. I began supplementing this product and adding some to my post workout shakes and withing a little more than a month I began to finally put on weight and a little more muscle mass. Do your research on how potassium chloride can affect muscle growth and recovery and go from there. Overall, this is a fantastic high-quality product.

I purchased this to make my own electrolytes. It seems to do OK..
