Thorne Research’s Potassium Citrate delivers the powerful mineral potassium, which your body needs due to its role in the production of vital proteins from
amino acids, transformation of carbohydrates into energy, development of muscle tissue, promotion of body growth, and the establishment of support for healthy
heart function. It also helps maintain the acid-base balance in your body. Potassium is also necessary in order for the human body to produce various
necessary enzymes.
Potassium is recognized as being central in allowing your muscles to contract normally, preserving blood pressure levels that are
currently healthy, and enhancing signal conduction between nerves. With all of the critical duties the mineral participates in, taking a potassium citrate
supplement just makes good health sense. These powerful vegetarian capsules provide potassium in citrate form, a highly-absorbable type of mineral that
ensures that you’ll experience its benefits quickly.
Potassium Citrate by Thorne Research provides these health benefits, among others:
Much-needed support for
cardiovascular health
Promotion of healthy kidneys, with alkalization of the urine
Delivery of biological material essential to skeletal-muscular function
With the many critical responsibilities it has within your body, it should come as no surprise that deficiencies in potassium can result in serious health
problems. A potassium deficiency may occur because you lose large quantities the mineral through the urinary or digestive tract. If your potassium levels are
chronically low, common adverse symptoms include fatigue and weakness. Some foods, such as bananas, naturally provide potassium; however, you may need a
larger quantity to give your system a boost.
Thorne Research strives to provide pure, high-quality supplements to people looking to enhance their health and
well-being. Its products are commonly used in prestigious research studies, and are recommended by many doctors and health care practitioners. The company
always goes the extra mile to ensure that Thorne Research dietary supplements are safe and effective for immune-compromised, allergic, and chemically

INTERACTIONS/CONTRAINDICATIONS
Several prescription medications can induce potassium depletion, including aspirin, laxatives, trisalicylate (a pain medication), colchicine, corticosteroids, non-potassium sparing diuretics (such as thiazide diuretics), and sodium bicarbonate.
The botanical Glycyrrhiza glabra can result in potassium loss. Although it more commonly occurs with long-term use of more than one gram glycyrrhizin daily, some individuals can experience signs of potassium loss with lower amounts.
ACE inhibitors (captopril, enalapril, ramipril, etc.) can produce potassium retention by inhibiting aldosterone in the adrenal glands. Potassium supplementation concurrently with ACE inhibitors and potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone, amiloride, triamterene, etc.) should be undertaken with caution to prevent excessive potassium levels in the body.

What the Potassium product does for me.
By Rhona Wahl from Clearwater, Florida on October 12, 2011
My alternative care physician recommended I take Potassium when I complained about the top of my feet cramping. I've been taking one of these a day now since that and I have had no further problems. Thank you Carol Bates for being such a good physician and thank you Pure Formulas for carrying Potassium Citrate.
Pros:
It works.
I would recommend this item to a friend.
