HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Potassium Gluconate 595 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

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.
  • “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 gluconate, supplying 595 mg of potassium per serving. Potassium is an electrolyte your body needs to maintain proper nerve and muscle function, heart rhythm, and fluid balance.

The inactive ingredients—cellulose, magnesium stearate, croscarmellose, stearic acid, and silica—are fillers and binders that hold the tablet 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 hold no effectiveness data for potassium gluconate in our database, so we cannot tell you whether clinical evidence supports its use for any particular condition. If you're considering this supplement, ask your doctor or pharmacist what the evidence shows for your specific reason.

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, but supplements carry real risk—especially if you have kidney disease, because your kidneys control how much potassium your body holds. High blood potassium can cause heart rhythm problems, low blood pressure, and mental confusion.

Common side effects from oral potassium include belly pain, belching, diarrhea, gas, nausea, and vomiting. During pregnancy, dietary potassium is fine, but use supplements only under medical guidance.

For breastfeeding, the data says it's likely safe, but check with your doctor before taking a potassium supplement while nursing.

Why this rating?

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 gluconate is only for people whose doctor has specifically recommended it—typically those with a documented deficiency or certain medical conditions. If you take blood pressure medications (ACE inhibitors, ARBs) or diuretics, this supplement poses a real risk of dangerously high blood potassium and needs your doctor's approval and monitoring.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, and never use potassium supplements on your own.

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.

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'm on a blood pressure pill?

What are the side effects?
Most people who tolerate oral potassium experience belly pain, belching, diarrhea, gas, nausea, or vomiting. Serious problems—heart rhythm issues, sudden low blood pressure, and confusion—happen rarely but typically only with very high levels.
Is it safe during pregnancy?

Is it safe while breastfeeding?
The data supports it as likely safe, but confirm with your doctor before using this supplement while nursing.

No. Potassium is powerful, and too much can be dangerous—especially if you have kidney problems. Only take it on your doctor's recommendation.
What does potassium do in my body?
Potassium is an electrolyte that keeps your nerves, muscles, and heart working properly and helps control your fluid balance. Your body gets most of what it needs from food.
