BulkSupplements.com Potassium Citrate Powder - for Hydration Support, Mineral Supplement, Potassium 99mg - Gluten Free, 300mg per Serving, 500g (1.1 lbs) (Pack of 1)

Good product for its price

I became a fan of BulkSupplements with my very first order. Like some others here, I track my food so I know that my diet is potassium deficient. With Bulk I can adjust my dose to get just what I need, which is sometimes impossible with supplements in pill form. I like that I don't have to worry about stearates or pollutants. I just wanted potassium and that's all that's in the bag. The package I got had over 1800 servings for around $15. I haven't found a better deal anywhere. I read the reviews before ordering and I noticed that many people said that they had improved sleep with this product. I did not think I had any sleep problems, I slept okay, got up once to go to the bathroom during the night, then went back to sleep. I've never been a morning person because I feel like crap when I get up in the morning. I feel ill and it takes an hour or so to start feeling normal. I started using this potassium citrate and zinc orotate, also from Bulk. A week later I have stopped getting up in the night at all. I'm sleeping right through the night and I don't feel so crappy when I wake up. I didn't think I had any problem in this area, yet I've seen an improvement. There is an old adage that's often applied to food and supplements: "Good, fast, cheap. You can only get two out of three. If it's good and fast, it won't be cheap. If it's fast and cheap, it won't be very good." With Bulk I thought to myself that it's good quality, cheap price, so it won't be fast. Weighing out my doses is going to take time, or maybe it will take a month to get my order. I was wrong on both counts. My order arrived in two days and weighing out a dose takes only a second. I was surprised at how little time it takes. Sure it's not as fast as just popping a pill, but it really only takes a few extra seconds - for me, it is time well spent. If you are going to go to the trouble to supplement, you might as well use the best product you can get, even if it takes 2 extra seconds out of your day. With a cheap digital scale, weighing takes almost no time. What takes a long time is shopping for vitamins: researching, reading all the fine print on all the bottles, researching the contaminants trying to decide which contaminants I'm willing to expose myself to, etc. I think that Bulk is going to save me hours of shopping time over a year. Bulk Supplements has done the "impossible" and provided all three: good, cheap, and fast. I'm going to be ordering from Bulk again in the near future. I take a lot of supplements, so as I run out of each one, I plan to replace it with a Bulk product.

Great result!

I ordered it as a supplemental source of potassium. I did not want pills, as they always contain excipient ingredients. Unlike lite salt (which also contains potassium) this is a bulk product that contains no sodium. Great! Also, its citrate has two side side benefits: 1) Citrate intake helps to prevent the most common type of kidney stone. 2) Citrates inhibit an enzyme that supports one stage of glycolysis, making them useful in reduction of high blood sugar levels. My visual inspection of the powder I received showed no clumping. That testifies to the thorough sealing and air tightness of its packaging, because potassium citrate is very hygroscopic. I looked for obvious contamination, but saw no foreign matter in it. And it dissolved readily in filtered tap water. Potassium citrate formula : C6H5K3O7 So there are 3 atoms of K per molecule of potassium citrate. Thus, potassium citrate is comprised of (3×39) / 306 = 38% potassium (K) With my AWS model AC-100 100 gram digital scale I measured a ¼ US cup volume of Bulk Supplements Potassium Citrate granules to be 63 grams. Since ¼ US cup = 12 US tsp, and the USA adult DV of K is 4700 mg, we have for this supplement : ½ tsp = 2625 mg C6H5K3O7; 998 mg K; 21% DV 1 tsp = 5250 mg C6H5K3O7; 1995 mg K; 42% DV 2 tsp = 10,500 mg C6H5K3O7; 3990 mg K; 85% DV 3 ¼ tsp = 17,053 mg C6H5K3O7; 6480 mg K; 138% DV So the 275 mg serving ( which is only 0.05 tsp ) labeled on this powder's Supplement Facts is insignificantly small. That dose provides only 2% USA adult DV, which is incorrectly labeled as a 3% DV for K. The next richest supplementary source of K ( to this citrate powder ) is Morton Lite Salt, but 2 US tsp of it would be required daily in order to get 80% DV of K, and that would mean an intake of 96% of the sodium DV. TIPS In general, American adults are recommended to get at least 4,700 mg (100% DV) of potassium daily, while limiting daily sodium to 1,500 mg. But most Americans are not meeting either goal. See the two USDA reports: 'Potassium Intake of the U.S. Population' and 'Sodium Intake of the U.S. Population'. Perhaps the U.S. National Library of Medicine has set the potassium DV absurdly high? The Austrailian Ministry of Health has set their adult men's DV at 81% as high as the USA's, and their adult women's DV is only 60% as high as the USA's. The richest dietary source of potassium (K) is not a banana, but chard. However, it is extremely high in oxalate. A baked potato (with skin), is richer in K than a banana, but one would have to consume five of them per day in order to obtain 100% of the USA adult DV of K ! Extended release potassium citrate tablets are prescribed as a long term therapy for treating calcium oxalate kidney stones. The daily intake of those tablets totals 6400 mg as four equally spaced doses. These patients are also advised to restrict their dietary oxalate intake, while increasing their intake of water. CAUTION There is a purity issue with this Chinese product. Bulk Supplements did not provide a certificate of analysis with the package. That should be a document prepared by an independent 3rd party. Had they provided an acceptable report I would've given this product a 5-star rating.

Here’s a 5-star review for **BulkSupplements.com Potassium Citrate Powder (1kg, 2.2 lbs)**: --- This potassium citrate powder is pure, effective, and exactly what I was looking for. It mixes easily in water or juice with no strange taste, and it’s a great way to supplement potassium without extra fillers. I like that it’s lab-tested, gluten-free, and comes in a large, resealable bag. It lasts a long time and gives me great value for the price. Highly recommended for anyone needing clean potassium support.

Great product

Bought to diy LMNT (they have the recipe on their website) and this is one of the ingredients. Works well, dissolves easy enough. Would recommend.

I've always been a heavy sweater, it was never a problem in my youth, 3 kids later and pushing 40 I developed debilitating nocturia which has destroyed my ability to sleep and made my life very difficult. Since taking this, instead of getting up 5-15 times a night, it's been a consistent 1 time. If I have a busy day and forget to take it, there's a noticeable difference. Given how huge and affordable this bag is I feel like I might be able to sleep through the night forever now.

Good quality and good packaging.

Product is great. Would recommend adding a desiccant sachet and checking the correct RDI as the company has a habit of suggesting much higher amounts than the average RDI.
