Life Enhancement, Potassium Basics, 240 Capsules

Q: So it says 100 mg of potassium is max allowed in pill but these are much higher, which i actually am glad about , but still how ? Scam or not?

21CFR201.306 says that the warning statement has to be labeled when a "potassium salt" pill provides more than 100mg of potassium "per tablet." Potassium bicarbonate, like potassium chloride and potassium citrate, is a potassium salt. It's unclear whether these actually contain <100mg potassium or just omit the warning statement.

Q: how come this is way more than the legal limit of 99mg per cap?

I don't know the "legal" answer. However, the nutritional answer is that 98% of the US population eats below the 4.7g of potassium to meet the "adequate" level of the World Health Organization. A study of added Potassium Bicarbonate increased aorta flexibility, significantly increased endothelial function, reduces left ventricular mass, etc. Another study in Taiwan showed that increased Potassium salt reduced CVD mortality by 41%.Disclosure: I am just a knowledgeable consumer with no conflict of interests.

Q: Does the two capsule give 1020 mg of potassium or 1020 mg of potassium bicarbonate?

Potassium Bicarbonate is only 39% Potassium. The new RDI for Potassium for adult men and women is 4,700 mg. So in order to hit this number using this particular supplement alone, you must ingest 12,240 of potassium bicarbonate to hit 4773.6 mg of elemental potassium by taking 12 capsules a day. You can divide it and do 6 in the morning and 6 at night! There is no upper limit on potassium so this is generally safe! Hope this was helpful!

Q: Does anyone have a picture of the pill size? I have taken other potassium pills before and typically gag on bigger pills. Please advise. Thank you.

It's not huge. I gag easily too, but it's fine, just a capsule with powder. Love that you can take just one pill for a 1/2 a dose--so the 1020 mg advertised, is actually 1/2 of that amount if you only take one capsule. It's better to take less with potassium at first because you can take too much. Some see this as a negative, but I prefer it.
