HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Potassium Gluconate 99 mg by Standard Vitamins

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.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: potassium at 99 mg per tablet. Potassium is an electrolyte your body needs for nerve and muscle function, including heartbeat regulation and blood pressure control.

The tablet also contains several inactive ingredients — cellulose, stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, silicon dioxide, PEG, and vegetable magnesium stearate — which 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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: electrolyte balance and muscle function.
  • We looked for evidence on: hypokalemia, muscle cramps, electrolyte imbalance, cardiac arrhythmias.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

We hold no effectiveness ratings for potassium gluconate in our data. If you're taking this product to treat or prevent a potassium deficiency, that's a conversation to have with your own doctor or pharmacist — they can assess whether your blood potassium actually needs boosting and whether diet or a prescription form would be better for you.

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; potassium supplements are a different story and need caution. The supplement can cause dangerously high blood levels in some people, especially those with kidney disease or reduced kidney function.

Orally, most people tolerate it reasonably well, but common side effects include abdominal pain, belching, diarrhea, gas, nausea, and vomiting. In rare cases, very high potassium levels can trigger serious heart problems — irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), heart block, low blood pressure, or even cardiac arrest — along with mental confusion.

For pregnancy, dietary potassium is fine, but use supplements only under medical guidance. While breastfeeding, check with your doctor before taking a potassium supplement.

The data we hold rates potassium as likely safe in pregnancy and lactation from food sources, but supplements are a different matter and need personalized advice.

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, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on potassium-sparing diuretics (like spironolactone), ACE inhibitors (like lisinopril), or angiotensin receptor blockers (like losartan). All three drug types increase the risk of dangerously high blood potassium when combined with this supplement.

If you take any of these, your potassium levels may need monitoring, or your doctor may suggest diet instead of a 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.

This supplement is mainly for people whose doctor has identified a potassium deficiency and recommended supplementing — not for general use. If you take any blood pressure or heart medication, especially potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or ARBs, do not start this without clearing it with your own doctor or pharmacist first.

Even people with normal kidney function can run into trouble; those with kidney disease face higher risk. Talk it over with your healthcare provider to make sure this dose is right for you.

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 99 mg by Standard Vitamins: Common Questions

Does Potassium Gluconate 99 mg by Standard Vitamins interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Potassium Gluconate 99 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 99 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 — potassium supplements can accumulate to dangerous levels in people with kidney disease or reduced kidney function. Talk with your doctor before considering any potassium supplement.
What are the side effects I might notice?
Most common are stomach upset — abdominal pain, belching, diarrhea, gas, nausea, and vomiting. Rare but serious effects from very high potassium levels include irregular heartbeat, heart block, low blood pressure, and confusion.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Potassium from food is fine during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but supplements need medical guidance. Talk with your doctor before taking a potassium supplement in either situation.
Will this help if I'm deficient in potassium?
We hold no effectiveness data for this product. If you think you're potassium-deficient, your doctor can run a blood test to confirm and recommend whether a supplement, diet change, or prescription form is best for you.
Can I just take this along with my blood pressure medication?
Not without checking first. If you take an ACE inhibitor, ARB, or potassium-sparing diuretic, adding this supplement raises your risk of dangerously high blood potassium. Clear it with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting.
