Frequently asked questions
-
No — not without medical supervision. The kidneys regulate potassium excretion, and people with impaired kidney function may be unable to eliminate excess potassium effectively. This can lead to hyperkalaemia (elevated blood potassium), which is a serious medical condition. If you have any kidney condition, consult your doctor before taking any potassium supplement.
-
500mg refers to the weight of the potassium gluconate salt — the full compound used in the capsule. Elemental potassium makes up approximately 16.6% of potassium by weight, which is why each 500mg capsule provides around 83mg of actual potassium. This is standard labelling practice for mineral salts and is consistent with how potassium is reported across all supplement forms.
-
If you are taking potassium-sparing diuretics (such as spironolactone or amiloride), ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), or any other medication that affects potassium levels, do not take this product without first consulting your doctor. Combining potassium supplements with these medications can lead to dangerously elevated potassium levels.
-
Each bottle contains 90 capsules. At the suggested use of 1 capsule per day, this provides a 90-day supply.
-
Yes. The capsule shell is made from HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a plant-derived material. There are no animal-derived ingredients anywhere in the formula.
-
This product does not contain any of the 14 major allergens listed under UK food labelling regulations. It is manufactured in a facility that handles a range of ingredients, so if you have a severe allergy, please contact us before purchasing.
-
We recommend consulting your GP or midwife before taking any food supplement during pregnancy or breastfeeding. This applies to all supplements, not just this product.
