keeping up good health

Extremely Happy with this product.

These work for me and what I was looking for when fasting. I discovered my multi-vitamins don't contain postassium and doing a 48 hour fast need to ensure electolytes are balanced. I ensure I get salt and use bath salts with magnesium, but sometimes got a headache.After taking this during fasting head ache went away and no adverse effects. Now take 1 of these tablets a day with my multivitamin. Solgar are great and I have not had problems with this brand. The tablets are quiet large and compressed powder type, so those who prefer soft gels may not get one with them. May need to cut them in half.

PROS:1) Effective and efficacious2) InexpensiveCONS:1) Ridiculous size2) Ridiculous shapeFirstly, a word of warning: self-medication is extremely dangerous and no food supplement should ever be used without prior advice from a doctor.Ever since I was a teenager (in the 1970s) I have suffered badly from seriously debilitating cramps. I’m not talking discomfort, but agony, sometimes for hours on end. I have fallen 16ft with my legs locked in a chair shape when skateboarding in California in competition with the TV commentator shouting “Oh my God, one of the Brits has taken a bad fall!” I have woken a girlfriend up in the middle of the night with my leg sticking in the air. She put her whole body weight of about 8 stone (50kg) on my leg and it wouldn’t go down. I have had my ex-wife and my 4 children massage my legs for 3 hours after playing a football tournament in 33degC heat....so you can see I really have had a bad time of it.My doctor discovered I was suffering from pernicious anaemia, a condition that prevents the body from absorbing vitamin B12 through the digestive tract. I have been having regular B12 injections, but though they helped, they didn’t eradicate it. I was still suffering with cramps in the vastus medialis and sartorius muscles (leg muscles at the bottom of the thigh and inner thigh) and in the intercostal msucles. The intercostals are between your ribs and help in breathing. I would regularly get cramps and have to punch myself in the ribs to release the cramps which makes me look like a nutter.Now, after 4 months of Solgar Potassium tablets I haven’t had a single cramp! This is remarkable because I spent 3 weeks in Cyprus where I ran about playing beach football in 35degC heat and sweated wildly. Therefore, I believe I am now cured of a condition which wreaked havoc on my life for so long. Ironically, the American doctor who examined me at the skatepark in California gave me a prescription of Potassium gluconate pills. They took 3 days to work, but they did the trick. It was just a shame I didn’t remember this back in 1979.Everyone’s body is different and thus the pharmacokinetics (the way the drug works in the body and the speed) will be slightly different. All I know, for £5-£6 a month, I am cured of the most horrible condition. BUY THEM, DOTTORE APPROVED!

Excellent

I was really looking forward to these as I wanted to boost my potassium levels. Unfortunately found these to be very big and difficult to swallow so I had stopped taking them after about a week - shame really as can’t attest to whether they actually work

Okay

Great works fine
