Option+ Potassium Citrate 99mg 100 Tablets

Option+ Potassium Citrate 99mg 100 Tablets is a dietary supplement containing a low dose of potassium citrate. 

Benefits (Claimed):

• Supports healthy electrolyte balance in the body
• May contribute to proper muscle and nerve function

Considerations:

• Low Dose: 99mg is a relatively low dose of potassium, unlikely to significantly impact healthy adults with a balanced diet.
• Dietary Sources: Potassium is abundant in many foods, such as fruits (bananas, oranges), vegetables (potatoes, leafy greens), nuts, and legumes. Focusing on a balanced diet can often provide sufficient potassium for most healthy adults.
• Potential for High Potassium Levels: While uncommon with low doses, very high potassium intake can lead to hyperkalemia (excessive potassium in the blood), causing symptoms like nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness, and irregular heartbeat. This is more of a concern for people with certain health conditions or those taking medications that can affect potassium levels.

Recommendations:

• Consult Your Doctor Before Use: Especially if you have any underlying health conditions (kidney disease, heart problems), take medications that affect potassium levels (diuretics, ACE inhibitors), or suspect you might have a potassium deficiency ( consult your doctor for a blood test).
• Focus on a Balanced Diet: Prioritize incorporating potassium-rich foods into your diet to meet your daily needs.
• Follow Dosage Instructions: If your doctor recommends this supplement for a specific reason, follow the recommended dosage on the label carefully.

Additional Information:

• Look for the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA) logo on the label for quality assurance.
• Store the product according to the label instructions.
