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 in the form of potassium bicarbonate, delivering 1.3 g per serving. Potassium is an essential mineral your body needs for nerve signaling, muscle contraction, and heart rhythm.

There are no other inactive ingredients listed.

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 provided do not include effectiveness ratings for potassium bicarbonate, so we don't have established evidence on file for its intended use.

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 most people, but supplements are different — they can raise blood levels dangerously, especially in anyone with kidney disease or certain heart conditions. That's why the safety data advises using potassium supplements only under medical guidance.

Common side effects from oral potassium include stomach pain, belching, diarrhea, gas, nausea, and vomiting. Rare but serious effects from high potassium levels include irregular heartbeats, low blood pressure, heart block, and mental confusion.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, dietary potassium is fine, but talk with your doctor before taking a potassium supplement.

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.

Potassium supplementation is appropriate only under medical supervision, particularly if you have kidney disease or take blood pressure medications. If you're on a potassium-sparing diuretic, ACE inhibitor, or ARB, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product — the combination can push potassium to unsafe levels.

Talk it over with your own healthcare provider to see if this supplement fits your individual situation.

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 Bicarbonate 1.3 g by Nutricost: Common Questions

Does Potassium Bicarbonate 1.3 g by Nutricost interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Potassium Bicarbonate 1.3 g 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 Bicarbonate 1.3 g 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.
Can I take this potassium supplement while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Potassium from food is safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but supplements are different. The safety data rates potassium supplements as likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, but you should still talk with your doctor before taking a supplement — they know your full health picture and can advise on whether you actually need it.
What are the most common side effects?
When taken by mouth, potassium commonly causes stomach pain, belching, diarrhea, gas, nausea, and vomiting. Most people tolerate it well, but these digestive symptoms can happen. If they're severe or persistent, let your doctor know.
Why is this product risky for people with kidney disease?
Your kidneys filter excess potassium out of your blood. If your kidneys aren't working well, potassium can build up to dangerously high levels even at normal doses — that's why supplements are not safe without medical supervision in kidney disease. Talk with your doctor before using this product.
Can high potassium actually hurt my heart?
Yes. When blood potassium gets too high, it can cause irregular heartbeats, low blood pressure, and even heart block or cardiac arrest in rare cases. That's why it's so important not to take potassium supplements without a doctor's approval, especially if you take certain blood pressure medicines.
Is dietary potassium the same as a supplement?
No. Potassium from food is fine and part of a normal diet — your body regulates how much it absorbs. A supplement delivers a concentrated dose all at once, which is why it can raise blood levels dangerously if you're not under medical supervision or if you take certain medications.
