NOW Foods Potassium Gluconate 99mg (250 Tablets)
by NOW Foods
"250 tablets of essential potassium at 99mg — the FDA-limited electrolyte for muscle function, blood pressure, and heart rhythm at under $12"
Overview
NOW Foods Potassium Gluconate provides 99mg of elemental potassium per tablet — the maximum amount allowed per serving by FDA regulation for supplemental potassium. Potassium is the third most abundant mineral in the body and is critical for muscle contraction, nerve transmission, fluid balance, and blood pressure regulation. Most Americans consume only 2,600mg of the recommended 4,700mg daily. The gluconate form is well-absorbed and gentle on the stomach. At 250 tablets for under $12, this is an economical way to supplement potassium.
