HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Potassium 99 mg by Patient One 1 MediNutritionals

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.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: potassium at 99 mg per capsule. Potassium is an essential mineral your body needs for nerve signaling, muscle contraction, and heart rhythm.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — rice flour, vegetable cellulose, and leucine — which are fillers and binders.

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 product facts we hold don't include an effectiveness rating for potassium supplementation. Potassium's role in the body is well established, but whether this specific dose is effective for any particular health goal depends on your individual needs and your doctor's assessment.

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 safe, but supplements require caution because they can raise blood levels dangerously — especially in people with kidney disease. The most common side effects from oral potassium are mild: abdominal pain, belching, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, and vomiting.

Serious effects (rare) include heart arrhythmias, heart block, low blood pressure, and confusion when potassium levels get very high. In pregnancy, dietary potassium is fine, but supplements should only be used under medical guidance.

The same applies to breastfeeding — check with your doctor before taking a potassium supplement while nursing.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

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 taking this supplement, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). All three drug classes can raise your potassium to unsafe levels when combined with a supplement.

Kidney disease also raises your risk, so mention that too.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Potassium 99 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

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.
