HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Potassium Gluconate 595 mg by Mason Natural

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, supplied as potassium gluconate at 595 mg per tablet. Potassium is an essential mineral that helps your heart, muscles, and nerves work properly and helps regulate fluid balance and blood pressure.

The tablet also contains inactive ingredients used to hold it together and make it easier to swallow: microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, stearic acid, vegetable magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide.

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: support fluid balance.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The product facts we hold do not include effectiveness ratings for potassium gluconate, so we cannot tell you from our data whether this supplement works for its intended purpose. If you're considering it to address a specific health concern — especially low blood potassium — talk with your doctor or pharmacist first; they can confirm whether supplementation is right for you and what dose would be appropriate.

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 can cause dangerously high blood levels in some people, especially those with kidney disease. Oral potassium is generally well tolerated, though some people experience stomach upset — abdominal pain, belching, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, or vomiting.

Serious side effects from high potassium levels are rare but can include irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, heart block, or mental confusion. During pregnancy, potassium from food is appropriate, but use supplements only under medical guidance.

If you're breastfeeding, the facts on file do not provide enough safety data for potassium supplements — talk with your doctor or pharmacist to decide what's right for you. People with kidney disease should be especially cautious, as their kidneys may not clear excess potassium safely.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient 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?
  • 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 taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any potassium-sparing diuretics (such as spironolactone), ACE inhibitors (such as lisinopril), or angiotensin receptor blockers (such as losartan). All three increase your potassium levels, and adding a supplement can raise them to unsafe levels.

No interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check beyond these three drug classes.

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.

If your doctor has told you that you're low in potassium and you're not taking a blood pressure medication that affects potassium levels, this supplement may be an option — but confirm the dose and timing with your own doctor first. If you take any diuretic, ACE inhibitor, or ARB, you'll need to check directly with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product, because the risk of high blood potassium is real.

Kidney problems are also a red flag — bring them up before you start.

For each ingredient in Potassium Gluconate 595 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 Gluconate 595 mg by Mason Natural: Common Questions

Does Potassium Gluconate 595 mg by Mason Natural interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Potassium Gluconate 595 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 Gluconate 595 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.
Can I take this if I have kidney disease?
No — talk with your doctor first. The facts advise caution in people with kidney disease, because damaged kidneys may not clear excess potassium safely, and high blood potassium can cause serious heart problems. Your doctor needs to know about your kidney function before you start any potassium supplement.
What side effects might I notice?
Most people tolerate oral potassium well, but you might notice stomach upset — nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, belching, or gas. Serious side effects (rare) from high potassium levels include irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, or mental confusion. If you notice any of those, stop and contact your doctor right away.
Is this safe to take during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Potassium from food is fine in pregnancy. For supplements, the data notes they should be used only under medical guidance. If you're breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data on file to say either way — talk with your doctor before starting.
Why does this interact with blood pressure medications?
Many blood pressure drugs (ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and potassium-sparing diuretics) work by affecting how your kidneys handle potassium. On their own, that helps your blood pressure — but when you add a potassium supplement, your blood potassium can climb too high, which stresses your heart.
How much potassium do I need?
The product facts don't address dosing. Your doctor or pharmacist can tell you how much is right for you based on your diet, kidneys, medications, and health. Don't guess on this one — potassium balance is serious.
Can I just get potassium from food instead?
Yes — potassium from food (like bananas, potatoes, spinach, and beans) is safe for most people and usually doesn't cause the high blood potassium levels that supplements can. If your doctor thinks you need supplementation, they'll tell you. Otherwise, food is the way to go.
