Potassium Gluconate Pure Powder
NOW Potassium Gluconate Pure Powder is a mineral supplement providing 175mg of Potassium per 0.5 tsp serving. This product received an N+ Score of 27, earning an 'F' grade, indicating a poor quality assessment. The primary reason for this low score is that the 175mg of Potassium is significantly underdosed when compared to typical daily recommended intakes or clinical dosages for potassium supplementation, which often range from hundreds to thousands of milligrams. While it offers a pure form of potassium gluconate, the low dosage per serving makes it less effective for individuals aiming to significantly increase their potassium intake. This product may be suitable for those needing a very minor potassium boost, but not for addressing deficiencies or achieving therapeutic levels.
