What makes this Potassium Citrate a good choice?
Potassium Citrate is the type of Potassium that Doctors prescribe for Kidney Stone Prevention as it increases urinary citrate, makes urine less acidic, which helps prevent calcium kidney stones from forming. It's also prescribed for gout inflammation.
When you consider that most natural sources of potassium are fruits that are also high in carbohydrates and spike blood sugars, taking a potassium supplement can be a far better alternative.
Ingredients: 100% Potassium Citrate (for human consumption).
Contains No: milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat/gluten, corn, yeast, soybeans, artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives. It's just 100% pure and free from all this stuff.
How to use
Easily dissolves in water, drinks, smoothies. Even sprinkle it on meals like a seasoning. Anywhere that powder can go, this can.

Taste
It has a slightly salty taste, so it's better taken with sweetened flavour drops eg: liquid monk fruit
