HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Potassium 99 mg by Woodstock Vitamins

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, a mineral your body needs for nerve and muscle function, especially in your heart. The remaining ingredients are cellulose, modified cellulose gum, silica, stearic acid, calcium stearate, and glycerin — these are inactive excipients that help form and preserve the tablet.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: electrolyte balance and heart health.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

We hold no effectiveness rating for potassium supplementation in the data available to us. Potassium's role in heart and muscle health is well established, but whether this specific dose is effective for any particular condition would depend 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; potassium supplements are a different story. High blood potassium can be dangerous, especially for people with kidney disease — that's why this supplement should only be used under medical guidance.

The most common side effects are digestive: abdominal pain, gas, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. In rare cases, high potassium levels can cause serious heart problems like arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), heart block, low blood pressure, and confusion.

For pregnancy and breastfeeding, dietary potassium is fine, but supplements should only be used under your doctor's supervision in both situations. There isn't enough safety data to recommend supplemental potassium on your own during these times.

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.

Check with your pharmacist before taking this if you use potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or ARBs for blood pressure or heart conditions. These medications plus potassium can raise your blood potassium to dangerous levels.

Your pharmacist can review your exact medicines and may recommend blood work to monitor your potassium level.

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.

This supplement is meant for people whose doctor has told them they need extra potassium — not for general use. If you take any blood pressure or heart medication, especially potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or ARBs, you need to talk with your pharmacist or doctor before taking it.

Even if you're healthy, kidney function matters; if you have any kidney issues, get clearance first.

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.

Potassium 99 mg by Woodstock Vitamins: Common Questions

Does Potassium 99 mg by Woodstock Vitamins interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Potassium 99 mg has a known interaction with 62 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Potassium 99 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Who actually needs a potassium supplement?
That's a decision between you and your doctor. Potassium supplements are generally for people whose doctor has found they're low and can't get enough from food — not for everyone. Taking it without medical direction can be risky, especially if you have kidney problems or take certain medications.
Can I just get potassium from food instead?
Yes — potassium from food is safe and doesn't carry the same risk as supplements. If your doctor thinks you need more, they'll tell you whether food sources are enough or whether you truly need a pill.
What are the side effects if I take too much?
On your stomach: pain, gas, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting. On your heart: irregular heartbeats, low blood pressure, heart block, and in serious cases, cardiac arrest. You might also feel confused. These can happen without obvious warning, which is why medical oversight matters.
Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Dietary potassium is fine in pregnancy and breastfeeding, but supplements should only be used if your doctor says so. There isn't enough data to use supplements on your own during these times — talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Why is this risky with blood pressure medications?
Many blood pressure drugs (especially ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and potassium-sparing diuretics) change how your kidneys handle potassium. Adding a supplement can push your levels dangerously high. That's why your doctor needs to monitor you with a blood test if you take both.
How much potassium is in this tablet?
This product contains 99 mg of potassium per tablet. Whether that's right for you depends entirely on your individual health and what your doctor recommends.
