Potassium Gluconate
Potassium Gluconate
Improve the condition of your heart, nerves and muscles, and support a stronger, healthier body by taking potassium gluconate supplements. Potassium is found naturally in many common foods, such as nuts, dairy products and leafy greens. If your diet does not provide enough potassium, you may develop low potassium levels in your blood, which can lead to a condition known as hypokalemia. Supplements are available as potassium gluconate powder, tablets and capsules. Potassium gluconate capsules are also available and are guaranteed to contain no animal products.
Adding more potassium to your diet
Your doctor may recommend an over-the-counter potassium supplement for elevating low potassium levels caused by hormone imbalances or severe dehydration. This type of supplement also counteracts side effects from the use of prescription diuretics for your blood pressure. Depending on your specific needs, another option is to take a once-daily vitamin supplement as part of a healthy, balanced diet.
