HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Potassium 99 mg Chelated by PureFormulas

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 3, 2026

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 heart rhythm, nerve function, and muscle contraction. The 99 mg dose here is a modest amount — much less than what you'd get from a banana or a sweet potato.

The supplement also contains three inactive ingredients (gelatin, cellulose, and vegetable stearate) that make up the capsule and help it hold together.

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 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. If you're considering it to address a specific health concern — low potassium levels, muscle cramps, or blood pressure support — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether supplementation makes sense for you and in what dose.

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 for everyone, but supplements are a different story. They're generally well tolerated by mouth, though some people get stomach upset — abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, belching, flatulence, or vomiting are the most common complaints.

Rare but serious effects happen when potassium builds up to dangerous levels: irregular heartbeat, heart block, low blood pressure, and mental confusion. The safety data advises against using potassium supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding without medical guidance — dietary potassium is fine, but supplements need a doctor's okay.

People with kidney disease are especially vulnerable to high potassium levels and should never take a supplement without their doctor's involvement.

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 you take this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on a potassium-sparing diuretic, ACE inhibitor, or ARB — all three carry a Moderate risk of raising your blood potassium to unsafe levels. Anyone with kidney problems should especially confirm this is safe for them.

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 low-dose potassium supplement might make sense for someone whose doctor has confirmed a deficiency and determined supplementation is safe — but only under medical supervision. If you take a blood pressure medication (ACE inhibitor, ARB) or a water pill that spares potassium, you'll want to clear this with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Kidney disease is a red flag; talk it over with your healthcare provider before taking any potassium supplement.

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 Chelated by PureFormulas: Common Questions

Does Potassium 99 mg Chelated by PureFormulas interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Potassium 99 mg Chelated 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 Chelated 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.
Will I get an upset stomach from this?
Some people do. Abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, belching, and flatulence are the most common complaints with oral potassium. If your stomach bothers you, talk to your pharmacist about timing or whether a different form might help.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The data says it's likely safe during pregnancy and lactation, but that refers to dietary potassium — not supplements. Before you take a potassium supplement during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, check with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's right for your situation.
Is this dose going to fix my low potassium?
We don't have effectiveness data in our facts for this product, so we can't say. Whether 99 mg will help depends on how low your level is and what your doctor recommends. That's a conversation to have with your healthcare provider.
Why can't I just take this if I'm on a blood pressure medication?
Many blood pressure drugs — ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and potassium-sparing water pills — already lower how much potassium your kidneys get rid of. Adding a supplement on top can push your blood potassium dangerously high, causing irregular heartbeat and other serious problems. Your doctor needs to know about both so they can monitor you safely.
What's actually in this capsule besides the potassium?
The capsule itself is gelatin, and it also contains cellulose and vegetable stearate — standard inactive ingredients that help hold it together. There are no other active ingredients, just the potassium.
