HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Potassium Chelated Form Formula by TumorX

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (350 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: slippery elm inner bark and potassium complex in a proprietary blend. Slippery elm has been traditionally used for digestive comfort, while potassium is an essential mineral involved in heart rhythm and muscle function.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin.

Does it work?

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

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

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

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that slippery elm works for cancer, constipation, cough, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or diarrhea—there's simply not enough reliable data to rate it. Potassium's effectiveness ratings aren't on file for this product.

If you're considering it for a specific health concern, your doctor or pharmacist can discuss what the research actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Slippery Elm 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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Slippery elm is generally well tolerated for short-term use, but high-quality safety data are limited. Allergic reactions—including contact dermatitis and hives—have been reported, especially to the pollen.

Potassium from food is safe, but supplements can cause dangerously high blood levels, particularly in people with kidney disease. Common side effects from oral potassium include stomach pain, burping, diarrhea, gas, nausea, and vomiting; serious but rare effects include irregular heartbeat, very low blood pressure, and mental confusion.

There isn't enough reliable safety data on slippery elm during pregnancy or breastfeeding to know either way—talk with your doctor or pharmacist. Potassium supplements are rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, but use them only under medical guidance.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Slippery Elm Potassium

Meds to double-check

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Potassium, Slippery Elm.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 2,023 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 doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you take ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, potassium-sparing diuretics (Moderate severity for all three—risk of high blood potassium), or any oral medication by mouth (Moderate severity—slippery elm may reduce how well it's absorbed).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product combines slippery elm and a potassium supplement, so it's not for everyone. If you take blood pressure medications (especially ACEIs, ARBs, or potassium-sparing diuretics), have kidney disease, or take many oral medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Even if you don't take prescriptions, potassium supplements need individual guidance—your own healthcare provider can tell you whether it's right for you.

Slippery Elm1 drug type · 2,022 drugs

Oral Drugs

Theoretically, slippery elm may slow the absorption and reduce serum levels of oral drugs.
Slippery elm inner bark contains mucilage, which may interfere with the absorption of orally administered drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Potassium Complex3 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.
