Special Import - Now Foods Potassium Gluconate, 99 mg 100 Tab 733739014603

Description:

Now Foods Potassium Gluconate 99 mg is a dietary mineral supplement designed to help maintain normal potassium levels in the body and support overall cardiovascular, muscular, and nervous system health. Each tablet provides 99 mg of elemental potassium from potassium gluconate, a commonly used and well-tolerated form of potassium. This product is intended for adults seeking to support electrolyte balance, especially those with low dietary potassium intake or increased losses due to sweating or certain lifestyle factors. It is a supplement, not a medication, and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional, particularly in individuals with kidney or heart conditions.

Indications:

• Supports maintenance of normal potassium levels in the body in adults with low dietary intake.
• Helps maintain normal muscle function and may reduce muscle cramps associated with low potassium intake.
• Supports healthy nerve signal transmission and normal neuromuscular function.
• Contributes to normal blood pressure levels when combined with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
• Helps maintain proper fluid and electrolyte balance, especially in individuals with increased losses from sweating or high physical activity.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Potassium (as potassium gluconate) – 99 mg per tablet.
• Other ingredients (excipients such as fillers, binders, and coating agents) are present but the exact list and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Adults: Typically 1 tablet daily, preferably with food and a glass of water, or as directed by a healthcare professional. (Always follow the specific directions on the product label; if they differ, the label instructions take priority.)
• Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew unless advised by a healthcare provider.
• Take at the same time each day to help maintain consistent potassium intake.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose unless specifically instructed by your doctor or pharmacist.
• Use only under medical supervision in individuals with kidney disease, heart disease, those taking medications that affect potassium levels (such as ACE inhibitors, ARBs, potassium-sparing diuretics), or those on a low-potassium or potassium-restricted diet.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps maintain normal electrolyte balance, particularly potassium, which is essential for many cellular functions.
• Supports healthy heart function and contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure when used as part of an overall healthy lifestyle.
• Promotes proper muscle contraction and may help reduce episodes of muscle weakness, fatigue, or cramps related to low potassium intake.
• Supports normal nerve transmission and neuromuscular function, contributing to overall energy and physical performance.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use this product without medical advice if you have kidney disease, heart disease, uncontrolled diabetes, Addison’s disease, or any condition that affects potassium balance.
• Use with extreme caution and only under medical supervision if you are taking medications that can increase potassium levels (e.g., ACE inhibitors, ARBs, potassium-sparing diuretics, certain heart medications, or potassium-containing salt substitutes).
• Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience symptoms of high potassium (hyperkalemia) such as irregular heartbeat, chest pain, severe muscle weakness, or tingling/numbness.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
• Not intended for use in children unless specifically recommended and supervised by a pediatrician.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose; excessive potassium intake can be dangerous and potentially life-threatening.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
• Keep out of reach of children.

• Common side effects (usually mild and transient): gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, stomach upset, or diarrhea, especially if taken on an empty stomach.
• Less common but serious side effects (seek immediate medical attention): irregular heartbeat, chest pain, severe muscle weakness, paralysis, confusion, or difficulty breathing, which may indicate high potassium levels (hyperkalemia).
