Potassium Citrate is a well-absorbed form of potassium. In addition to its role in heart and skeletal muscle function, it also alkalinizes urine to support kidney and lower urinary tract health.
Potassium plays a vital role in the proper functioning of skeletal muscle and the heart muscle. It is essential for nerve impulse transmission, muscle contractility, and maintaining normal blood pressure, energy production, and nucleic acid synthesis. Epidemiological evidence suggests that diets high in potassium provide numerous benefits to cardiovascular health.
A chronic potassium deficiency can result in various adverse health conditions, including prolonged feelings of weakness and fatigue. Thorne's Potassium Citrate promotes cardiovascular health, and also supports kidney and lower urinary tract health by inhibiting precipitates in the urine because of its alkalizing effect. Potassium Citrate's benefit of alkalizing the urine also inhibits the growth of undesirable bacteria in the urinary tract.
Another reason to facilitate an alkaline urine is that certain botanical extracts, such as uva ursi and berberine, both of which support a healthy urinary tract, work most effectively in alkaline urine. These two botanical ingredients are in Thorne's Uristatin, which is why these two supplements pair together nicely to promote urinary tract health.

Warnings
If you are pregnant, nursing, trying to conceive, taking any medications, planning a medical procedure or have a medical condition, please consult your healthcare practitioner before using this product.
This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.
Aspirin, laxatives, sodium bicarbonate, and several prescription medications – including trisalicylate (a pain medication), colchicine, corticosteroids, and non-potassium sparing diuretics (such as thiazide diuretics) – can induce potassium depletion.
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 avoid excessive potassium levels in the body.
Keep out of reach of children.

Potassium is Positively Perfect
by DragonflyLady -
I do not absorb vitamins/minerals properly so when I started having horrible leg cramps, I needed more potassium. Everything I found at the store was in tablet form and I can't take that. This was an awesome find and works for me. My doctor said I would have to take a lot of it for it to be effective but one capsule a day works great along with my multi-vitamin/mineral supplement.
