Nature's Bounty Potassium Gluconate 99mg, 100 Caplets

Potassium for Heart Health

I don't know if you've every been in a situation when you've had to go to the hospital because of a heart attack or stroke/TIA. If you have had this terrible and very scary experience, you probably did not notice or ask what medications the hospital gave you when you first arrived and every day you were hospitalized. Well, I always do that when I'm able. I discovered one of the first meds (by mouth) administered is Potassium Gluconate for one's heart health. The nurse told me the hospital's protocol was to dispense one 595mg tablet daily. and that Potassium may heal any minor damage suffered during cardiac arrest. Nature's Bounty is, in my opinion, a very good source of this mineral, BUT should not be taken in an amount greater than 1 tablet/day

Listen up!!!

Some people have v e given this product a b ad review because the dosage is so low. 2% of RDA. The thing is most people get potassium from their food and should only be taking supplements if prescribed by their Dr. A blood test will show your level and your Dr. Will tell you how much extra you need. RDA IS around 2500 mg to 3000mg of potassium per day. If your body got down to zero your heart would stop. This is a supplement as in supplemental to what you are g etti nb g naturally from food. If you took 40 of these pills per day you would die. Have some common se nv se people and ask your Dr

Helps keep leg and foot cramps away

I take one in the morning and one before bed to prevent leg and foot cramps. Tried calcium alone (nope), added magnesium (nope) and then added the potassium and noticed a huge improvement. I also drink Smart Water and pitcher ionized water and stretch legs nightly before bed. I tried potassium citrate and it did not work the same way at all! Must be the gluconate. Hope this helps someone like it helped me

Quickly perceived results.

I take diuretics (one of them being potassium, sparing) and I drink caffeinated drinks. Sometimes I get a little whoozy and I've found that taking one of these pills quickly gets me to feeling a bit more functional. I don't use it every day, only when I realize that I really need it. Note that the dosage is 3% of the recommended daily adult dose. This is a minute amount and not likely to present a cardiac problem caused by too high a potassium level. On days when I feel a bit dehydrated, I may take two pills. It does more for me than taking pedialyte or gatorade with all that added sugar

The real thing

I know what potassium tasted like. Have bought tons of it for fertilizer. Always took a taste now and then. Something I picked up from my father. This tastes like potassium, unlike many of the potassium powder, pills, and capsules I have tried. Now I can regulate my intake with more knowledge of how much I am taking. Diuretics, and some asthma meds, will lower potassium, which can raise blood pressure, etc

Stopped leg cramps in it's tracks

As I get older I've been having leg cramps randomly and more frequently. This stuff stopped that problem in its tracks! If I forget to take it, the leg cramps start to show up again, so I've added it to my regular morning supplements and take it every day

very pleased to buy this OTC

great convenience to purchase this from Amazon at a good price. I take diuretics and this replaces the potassium. people with kidney disease please do NOT use this. if you're not a doctor, pharmacist or a nurse, check with one before you take this. good during/after heavy exercise and in the heat to prevent dizziness and weakness
