Potassium-HP is a high-potency potassium supplement with magnesium. Each teaspoonful provides 1,200 mg of elemental potassium (as potassium citrate) and 120 mg of elemental magnesium (as magnesium citrate malate). According to the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies (Dietary Reference Intakes: Water, Potassium, Sodium Chloride, and Sulfate. February 11, 2004), adults need at least 4.7 grams of potassium daily to maintain healthy blood pressure, blunt the effects of salt, and reduce the risk of bone loss. However, most American women ages 31 to 50 get no more than half the recommended amount of potassium, and men's intake is only moderately higher. There was no evidence of chronic excessive potassium intakes in apparently healthy individuals, and therefore no UL [upper limit of intake] was established.
Adults: Mix one (1) scoop of Potassium-HP with six (6) ounces of water daily as a dietary supplement or as directed by a healthcare professional. WARNING: Ask a doctor before use if you have kidney disease or are on a calorie-restricted diet. High-potency potassium products should only be used under the advice and supervision of a healthcare professional. Minor gastrointestinal (GI) complaints have been reported by those taking significant amounts of potassium citrate. These may be reduced by taking this product with food or by reducing the dose. If GI complaints persist, discontinue use of this product. Long-term use may result in metabolic alkalosis. Kidney failure and certain potassium-sparing medications will increase the risk of elevated blood potassium, which can be dangerous. Patients should not use high-potassium salt substitutes without the advice of their healthcare professional while taking this or any other high-potency potassium product. For Adults Only.
