Potassium Citrate Powder

After much self diagnosis, I have concluded that I have issues with potassium. Short story long: I have had strange "symptoms" since I was a teenager. The most concerning symptom is my irregular heart beat (arrhythmia). I can feel my heart start dancing around. It skips beats, does this weird double beat thing, and gets really out if beat. When it happens I get dizzy, sometimes short of breath, and it actually hurts sometimes when it is a strong episode. It will last from a few beats to around an hour (at which time I am usually getting ready to go in for medical help). I actually was sent to a heart doctor for a while, but other than saying that I had arrhythmia, he did nothing. I noticed quite by accident one time that if I drank a coconut water when I was having an episode, the episodes seemed to end not too long after. Consequently, even though I hate the flavor of coconut water I was always forcing it down, and always taking it everywhere with me. So that was my normal, until I got a new job. My new job involves a lot of walking and a lot of exercise. Suddenly, not only was I having long lasting arrhythmia episodes, I was also getting leg cramps (Charlie Horses) and my migraines were getting really bad. I went from having a migraine every couple of months to having one every week, sometimes for days at a time. It was nasty. I realized that I couldn't live like that, and I tuned up my web medical degree (just joking, I am definitely not a doctor of any sort) and started reading about potassium. I decided that potassium was definitely worth a try. Since it said that you would have to eat 10 bananas to get your daily potassium dose (can you say hello constipation?) I figured that the powder would be a lot easier and would not gag me like coconut water. So this is how I got to where I have been taking a half of a teaspoon of this potassium daily. It has been working really well for me! I have had only 1 migraine and no leg cramps in the last month or so. I have still had some mild arrhythmias, but they have not been strong and have not lasted long at all. I don't care for the taste of the potassium, so I mix it with powdered Gatorade that I of course bought here on Amazon (the blue flavor called Glacier Freeze is my favorite for hiding the flavor). At first, I immediately jumped into a "large" dose of the potassium when I got it because I was feeling really desperate (1 teaspoon 2x per day for the first 5 days). It didn't upset my stomach. Strangely enough the first few times that I took it I felt really relaxed and sleepy like I had just had a glass of wine but without the buzz. I then backed down to the half a teaspoon per day and it seems to be working. To reiterate, I am not a doctor, and I cannot begin to guess what might work for you. But for me, this powder has been amazing. I am a much happier person. P.S. I was not paid or reimbursed for this review. I am just sharing my experience because I really wish that I had found this stuff a long time ago. This is the first potassium that I have bought, so I am unable to compare this one to any others.

I like this Microingredients brand potassium citrate as its a bit finer grained than other brands I get on Amazon and dissolves quickly in liquids like my coffee: I put a 1/4 tsp with 1/8 tsp salt every morning for my electrolytes daily, a must! in hot TX summer. As thats not enough daily, I take 1/2 teaspoon at a time balanced with 1/4 tsp salt a few times as needed thruout the day. I can tell when I need it (sweaty n weak) & wash it down with water cuz I abhor drinking it in liquids (other than coffee which masks it cuz its salty tasting) n chugging it down that way is quicker n less vile, for me at least. Its just ughhhhh in plain water or other liquids, (other than coffee). Then shortly after, my energy comes back. Great stuff👍

I had a coupon code for LMNT and I bought the variety pack and included was chocolate flavored and chocolate caramel and chocolate mint (?). I loved those flavors but not the price and I didn’t like the ratio of electrolytes (heavy on sodium lite on potassium). I was looking for an electrolyte high in potassium. So I bought this and made my own high potassium chocolate flavored electrolyte drink. Here’s my recipe….3 scoops of the potassium power, one good squirt of sweet leaf chocolate stevia sweetener and one heaping teaspoon of Anthony Dutch Processed Dark Chocolate powder and hot water. Whisk it up with a pat of good butter and you have a delicious electrolyte drink for a cold winter day. A 15 pack of individual serving LMNT STICKS IS $24. A bag of micro ingredients potassium cost that and has 3875 servings!!!! You can also combine Sweet Leaf Stevia chocolate drops with the salted caramel flavor drops….so good!

Potassium Citrate is the natural food form of potassium. When you eat vegetables and fruit this is the kind of potassium you get. It is also the most powerful in-vivo anionic surfactant. That means it causes particles in the blood to separate from each other, the opposite of clotting, so it might prevent stroke without side effects of the killer warfarin. It cures constipation, read "The Fiber Menace." Add 1/2 tsp to OJ with each meal. Don't eat it without food. You lost one star because the bag zipper broke after only a few uses. Please improve the bag quality.

Since it's so hard to find Potassium Citrate powder in 1000MG form, I thought I would simply use enough of a 99mg dosage to equal the 1000mg. I normally try to intake more potassium than sodium as the national guidelines state 4700mg of potassium daily. Not having more than 1000mg in my diet yesterday, I took enough of this yesterday evening to make up the difference. I had done the same thing the prior night with no issues. I noticed that the dosage this time tasted so salty I could barely get it down. Within two minutes I started feeling tingly all over my body, especially my legs, feet, and hands. For the next five hours, I was miserable. Extreme diarrhea, jittery, worse than any niacin flush I had ever experienced. I attempted to go for a walk to maybe get up a sweat to get it out of my system. That seemed to make the effects worse, making my legs and feet feel numb. I had intermittent pain in my kidneys and liver area. I almost went to the emergency room, but it started to subside before I went to bed. I slept fine and woke up feeling normal. I would recommend not using this product as a replacement for those 1000mg dosage electrolyte products we all see. Go easy and gradual if you use this product because it seems to be very potent. Lesson learned.

This fixed the muscle cramps I'd get when I worked out. I lift weights, and when I get to about 1.75x bodyweight on the back squat, I'm very prone to my calves cramping up. I'm not talking DOMS (sore muscles), its more like a charlie horse. My toes will kind of curl, and my calf muscles will just contract involuntarily and it ends up being kind of painful and very distracting in the middle of a squat. I'd also get stomach cramps / stitches after eating a big meal. Going on walks after eating was kind of uncomfortable, and sometimes even sitting up straight would cause my stomach to cramp up such that I had to double over to make it stop. Pretty pathetic for a guy who is in decent shape. Supplementing about a teaspoon of this stuff a day has fixed those problems. No more cramping. I follow up breakfast by pouring about a teaspoon into a small glass of water and mixing it up then gulping down the water. It dissolves just fine in filtered water from the fridge. It takes a bit of stirring, but it'll eventually all dissolve. It still tastes pretty bad - salty, then sweet, then bitter. Mary Poppins is a liar, a spoonful of sugar does not help this medicine go down. No real choice but to suck it up and take a quick shot of it. The bad taste is well worth not cramping up.

Get a scale for this product, and determine how to measure and how accurate the results need to be. Do not trust that the plastic scoop will give you 275 measures. Because of measuring questions, I purchased a scale and metal spoons so that I could formulate as accurate measurements as possible. The results are a tad disappointing, but something I can work with. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077KC8D8Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07767DGPD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I measured the product in the supplied scoop, and 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 metal spoons, then weighed the powder. The results are "not" consistent, but will be close enough for my uses. The technique was to scoop the product so that it was heaping, and using the scrapper supplied with the spoons, level the load. I performed 3-4 measures then averaged. Scoop: 593/587/592mg = 590mg avg product powder / 275mg * 99mg = 212mg of Pot-Citrate per scoop 1/8 tsp: 883/921/914/931/965mg = 923mg avg product powder / 275mg * 99mg = 332mg of Pot-Citrate per scoop 1/4 tsp: 1692/1701/1710/1683mg = 1697mg avg product powder / 275mg * 99mg = 611mg of Pot-Citrate per scoop 1/2 tsp: 3128/3123/3177/3113mg = 3145mg avg product powder / 275mg * 99mg = 1129mg of Pot-Citrate per scoop To check things, I should be able to divide 1/2tsp (1129) by 2 and get 611 (1/4 tsp), and clearly 1129/2 is NOT 611. So there are obvious discrepancies here. I think the issue is how clingy the powder is to the scoop, the inconsistencies in leveling the scoop, and possibly the sensitivity of the milligram scale. If I felt I could not live with these inconsistencies, I would buy capsules that were more carefully measured. I'm very open to having this work cross-checked - maybe you can find the source of the inconsistencies.

I use this mornings and evenings - it appears to have some benefits

Has a terrible after taste I'm not sure what to do about.
