NOW Foods Supplements, Potassium Chloride Powder, Certified Non-GMO, Essential Mineral*, 8-Ounce

Apologies for my misstep. THIS product ALWAYS hits! I have been using it for quite some time now and it is just as described.

in addition to getting more potassium in the diet, I use this to replace salt for everything. Put it right in the salt shaker and use it without the health problems of regular salt. It it stronger than salt so be sure to salt to taste before using a lot. I have heard that it doesn't retain the salty taste if you salt before cooking (I don't know for sure since I never salt when cooking) so just wait until you're done cooking and add it. Easy.

Helps greatly in cutting back on sodium intake. It can have a little bitter taste if used excessively. I often use a salt shaker mixture of 3 parts potassium chloride to 1 part table salt, or half an half. Either potassium chloride or table salt will have a bitter taste if used in excessive, just a different bitterness. Good alternative to table salt.

Good deal. I go through a good bit of potassium making diy electrolyte mixes. This dissolves easily and comes at a good price without buying massive bulk amounts.

This is a really good supplement. I will be buying this one over and over. Great size, great price, and great quality. I use this in my homemade electrolyte mix. My favorite one for this.

I purchased this potassium chloride to help lower my salt intake and lower my blood pressure. Just had my annual physical, and it's the lowest my blood pressure has been in a couple years. Very salty tasting, so a little amount goes a long ways.

Mixes well with anything.

Heart Associations recommend that the maximum amount of Sodium added to the diet every day (as Sodium Chloride or ordinary table salt) is 2 grams, and Potassium as in this Potassium Chloride is 3 grams for maintenance of normal blood pressure. Too much Sodium causes fluid retention in the blood and leads to high blood pressure. Since bananas contain about 0.4 grams of Potassium each, you would have to eat 7 bananas a day to get this much potassium. A way to do this is to add 1/3 the amount in place of ordinary salt of potassium chloride to savory foods. Do not take this neat (by itself) as it causes erosions (tiny ulcers) with mouth throat and stomach pain. Had been taking this for years for high blood pressure and leg cramps: previously was pharmaceutical grade (USP) but now comes with a California Prop 65 warning about Lead content. Although packed in the US, this is probably made in the NOW factory in India where the QC may be worse than in China. Any information by an independent testing lab with no link to this manufacturer (NOW) as to the Lead content of this product? No response in contacting NOW customer care in Illinois. Would be good if manufacturing went back to USP grade.

it dissolves well in your shake

great

Good quality

As described, arrived on time

Update: been using this for 3.5 months. It lasted a lot longer than expected. Reordering now. Cramps are pretty common when on keto, and this along with pink Himalayan salt is a life saver. Many people have commented on the taste, in my opinion it doesn't have any taste, but I don't take it plain with water in one go. The best way to consume is to have it through the day. So, I add 4 lemon juice (fresh) to one liter of water, 1 small tsp of this, 1 small tsp of Himalayan salt, and stivia drops as per choice. This makes a very refreshing drink that I sip on all day. I carry it with me everywhere and keep drinking it. I started on a keto diet and ordered this for my potassium needs. It's been a staple in my water daily. 6 weeks now and I think I have enough to use for another 4 weeks. I use 1 small tsp per day. I highly recommend it to anyone starting off on keto. Order this in advance and then start your lifestyle change. This is a key ingredient to avoid the keto flu, and cramps that are common when on keto.
