HelloPharmacist Scorecard of K Potassium 99 mg by NutraBio

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Potassium” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (99 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: potassium, supplied as Albion Potassium Glycinate Complex — a form designed for absorption. The capsule also holds two inactive ingredients, hypromellose and water, which are standard excipients used to hold and deliver the supplement.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Potassium product and its label doesn't state a use — see Potassium's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The facts we hold don't include effectiveness ratings for potassium supplementation, so we can't tell you from our data whether this dose is proven to work for any particular purpose. Potassium plays a critical role in heart rhythm, muscle function, and blood pressure regulation, but whether a 99 mg supplement makes a measurable difference depends on your individual needs — something your doctor or pharmacist can evaluate.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Potassium

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Potassium from food is fine, but supplements are different — they can push your blood levels dangerously high, especially if you have kidney disease. Oral potassium is generally well tolerated, though some people report abdominal pain, belching, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting.

Rarely, high potassium levels can cause serious effects like irregular heartbeat, heart block, low blood pressure, or confusion. The safety data says dietary potassium is appropriate during pregnancy, but supplements should only be used under medical guidance.

For breastfeeding, check with your doctor before taking a potassium supplement.

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Potassium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 62 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you start, check if you take potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or angiotensin receptor blockers — all carry a Moderate risk of high blood potassium if combined with this supplement. These are blood pressure and heart drugs your doctor would know you're on; let your pharmacist verify your exact medications using the tool on this page.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you have normal kidney function and don't take blood pressure medication, diuretics, or heart drugs, this is a conversation for your pharmacist — there's no compelling reason most people need a supplement. Anyone on an ACE inhibitor, ARB, potassium-sparing diuretic, or with kidney disease should not take this without their doctor's approval.

Always check with your pharmacist before adding potassium to your routine.

Potassium3 drug types · 62 drugs

Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Using ACEIs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ACEIs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Arbs)

Using ARBs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ARBs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Concomitant use increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
Using potassium-sparing diuretics with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
