        <title>Potassium bicarbonate or gluconate?</title>
        <description> Hello Jackie or anyone,

I have no potassium problems I know of but I thought of taking a precautionary amount.

I prefer the bicarbonate not because of anything I know but because bicarbonate sounds good !

Any comments or suggested amount?

Thanks

            <description><![CDATA[ Alexe -  <br />
<br />
The label on one of my potassium products which is Professional-grade supplement indicates:  Potassium… 125 mg  sourced from 320 mg potassium bicarbonate <br />
<br />
Another is a combination of Potassium glycinate complex and potassium bicarbonate  at 300 mg/capsule but it doesn’t break out the bicarbonate or glycine component.   <br />
<br />
The NOW brand Potassium gluconate powder  does not separate out the amount of potassium delivered. The the dose  is 1/2 teaspoon yields 270 mg potassium gluconate.   I typically use a teaspoon at a time for 540 mg but that&#039;s not all pure potassium.  <br />
<br />
I also have potassium citrate tablets from Natural Factors and again, the citrate component is not separated out....of the total 99 mg/tablet.  Dosing recommendations are take 1 tablet 1 - 5 times a day as recommended by healthcare professional.  <br />
<br />
Hope this helps.<br />
<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Hi alexe. I recall Hans advising us that the bicarbonate is more concentrated than the gluconate.   If you bicarbonate powder  did not come with dosing instructions don&#039;t assume it is the same as the gluconate and check with your pharmacist so you don&#039;t overdose.  Dennis]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Alex -  like the potassium bicarbonate as well.   While I do have and use the gluconate form, I have come to rely more on the bicarbonate for all of the reasons we have mentioned regarding magnesium bicarbonate water. <br />
<br />
Best to you, <br />
<br />
