Potassium is an essential mineral with well-established roles in cardiovascular health, blood pressure regulation, and muscle function. Scientific evidence is clear — supplementation focus is often on avoiding deficiency.

Value for money 9.0/10

About €0.06 per day for 180 capsules at 99 mg is exceptionally affordable — one of the most cost-effective ways to supplement potassium.

Product quality 7.0/10

NOW Foods delivers solid base quality with GMP-compliant production. Potassium citrate is a well-absorbed form — a positive formulation aspect.

Label honesty 8.0/10

Clear, honest labeling: 99 mg potassium per capsule (US legal maximum for a single dose). No exaggerations — a practical product without hype.

Product Description

NOW Foods Potassium Citrate delivers 99 mg elemental potassium per capsule in the well-bioavailable citrate form. 99 mg is the US legal limit for a single dose — those targeting higher daily amounts take multiple capsules. Potassium is essential for heart rhythm, muscle function, and blood pressure balance.

What We Like

  • Exceptionally affordable — under €0.10 per day
  • 180 capsules for nearly half a year’s supply
  • Potassium citrate — well-bioavailable form
  • No unnecessary additives

What We’re Missing

  • Only 99 mg per capsule — multiple capsules needed for higher daily doses
  • Not regularly available in Germany
  • No independent third-party certificate
  • Potassium supplementation should be discussed with a doctor for certain conditions

Usage Recommendation

Dose as needed: 1–3 capsules daily with a meal. Do not take potassium on an empty stomach.

Ingredient dossier

Potassium is essential for blood pressure, nerves and muscles. Often more important via diet than supplementation—and potentially risky when overdosed.
