HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Potassium Time Release 99 mg by BIOVEA

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 at 99 mg per capsule in a time-release form, designed to deliver it gradually. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients (rice flour, vegetable capsule material, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide) that help hold and release the potassium.

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 have effectiveness ratings on file for potassium supplements. That said, potassium is an essential mineral your body needs for heart rhythm, muscle function, and nerve signaling — so the question isn't whether potassium works, but whether you need a supplement and how much.

That's a conversation to have with your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you're on medications that affect potassium balance.

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 fine for most people, but supplements can cause dangerously high blood levels in some folks, particularly those with kidney disease. You might notice mild stomach upset — abdominal pain, belching, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting — with oral potassium.

Rarely, very high potassium levels can cause heart rhythm problems, low blood pressure, or confusion. In pregnancy, dietary potassium is appropriate, and supplements are considered likely safe — but use them only under medical guidance.

While breastfeeding, check with your doctor before taking a potassium supplement. If you have kidney disease or any condition that affects how your kidneys work, talk with your doctor before starting this product.

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 you take this, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on any blood pressure or heart medications — especially potassium-sparing diuretics (like spironolactone), ACE inhibitors (like lisinopril), or angiotensin receptor blockers (like losartan). These all raise the risk of dangerously high blood potassium when combined with 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.

Potassium supplements make sense for some people, but not for everyone — especially if you're on blood pressure or heart medications. The biggest risk is ending up with too much potassium in your blood, which can cause serious heart problems.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether you actually need a supplement and whether it's safe alongside your current medications.

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 Time Release 99 mg by BIOVEA: Common Questions

Does Potassium Time Release 99 mg by BIOVEA interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Potassium Time Release 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 Time Release 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 — talk to your doctor first. Potassium supplements can cause dangerously high blood levels in people with kidney disease because kidneys help control potassium balance. Your doctor needs to check your kidney function and potassium levels before you start.
What are the most common side effects?
The most common ones are mild stomach issues: abdominal pain, belching, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, or vomiting. Serious side effects are rare but can include heart rhythm problems or low blood pressure from very high potassium levels.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Dietary potassium is fine, and supplements are considered likely safe in pregnancy. But use them only under medical guidance — your doctor or midwife should approve it based on your individual needs.
Why is time-release important?
Time-release formulations deliver potassium slowly over time instead of all at once, which is gentler on your stomach and may reduce nausea, diarrhea, and other GI side effects. It also helps your body absorb it more gradually.
Can I just get potassium from food instead?
For most people, yes — potassium from a normal diet is plenty. Supplements are only necessary if your doctor says your levels are low or you have a specific medical reason. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether you actually need a supplement.
