HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Potassium Citrate 275 mg by Nature's Truth

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.
  • “Potassium” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (99 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: potassium citrate, a form of potassium that your body can absorb. The capsule also holds inactive ingredients — rice powder, gelatin, and magnesium stearate — which are fillers and binders to hold the formula 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.

We don't hold effectiveness ratings for potassium citrate in our data, so we can't tell you from this product's label whether it works for any specific purpose. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether a potassium supplement is right for you and what dose you need.

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 is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. Common side effects are mild — belly pain, burping, diarrhea, gas, nausea, or vomiting — but high potassium levels (a rare but serious condition) can cause irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, heart block, or confusion.

Potassium from a normal diet is safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding, but supplements should only be used under your doctor's guidance during pregnancy and lactation because of the risk of dangerously high blood levels, especially in people with kidney disease.

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 citrate is most important for people whose doctor has confirmed they have low blood potassium and it's safe for them to supplement. If you take blood pressure medications — especially water pills, ACE inhibitors, or ARBs — you must check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product, because the combination can raise your potassium to unsafe levels.

People with kidney disease also need clearance from their doctor. Talk it over with your own healthcare provider before you start.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Potassium Citrate 275 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.

Potassium Citrate 275 mg by Nature's Truth: Common Questions

Does Potassium Citrate 275 mg by Nature's Truth interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Potassium Citrate 275 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 Citrate 275 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.
Is potassium citrate safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Potassium from food is fine, but supplements need your doctor's okay during pregnancy and breastfeeding because they can raise your blood levels too high, especially if your kidneys don't work perfectly. Talk with your doctor before taking this.
What side effects might I notice?
Most people tolerate it well. The common ones are stomach-related — belly pain, gas, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. Serious side effects from high potassium levels are rare but can include irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, or confusion; that's why monitoring by your doctor is important if you take it.
Can I take this with my blood pressure medication?
It depends on which one. Diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and ARBs all increase your risk of dangerously high blood potassium when combined with supplements. Your doctor needs to know before you start so they can check whether it's safe for you or adjust your regimen.
What's potassium citrate for?
It's a form of potassium your body can absorb. Our data doesn't specify what condition this product is marketed for, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether you need supplementation and at what dose.
Does this product have fillers?
Yes — it contains rice powder, gelatin, and magnesium stearate as inactive ingredients to make the capsule work properly.
Is potassium from food as risky as this supplement?
No. Potassium from your diet is safe for most people. Supplements are the concern because they deliver concentrated amounts and can push your blood level too high, especially if you take certain medications or have kidney problems.
