A potent, easily-absorbed form of the mineral potassium. Promotes healthy kidney function! How Does NSI® Potassium Citrate Work? Potassium is a mineral found in foods such as bananas, orange juice, and potatoes. Like sodium and chloride, potassium is an electrolyte, meaning it takes on a positive or negative charge when dissolved in fluids. Potassium helps regulate the body's fluid levels. It's also important for the transmission of nerve impulses, the contraction of muscles, energy production, and blood pressure support. Other functions of potassium include:. Helps to support acid/alkaline balance in the body. Assists in protein synthesis from amino acids and in carbohydrate metabolism. Essential co-factor for production of many enzymes. Assists with nerve transmission and heart rhythm. NSI® Potassium Citrate is a form of potassium in which potassium ions are bonded to citric acid. Citrates are highly bioavailable, meaning they're readily absorbed by cells. This formula promotes balanced electrolytes, healthy blood pressure, and healthy kidney function. NSI® Potassium Citrate is better because it:. Is highly bioavailable! Contains 99 mg potassium (as potassium citrate) in one capsule. . Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

"My vet recommended this after both of my Maltese dogs developed bladder stones. He said it was to help keep their urine acidic so they did not reform these stones. That was two years ago and so far, so good. He prescribed 100 mg which I got from a compounding pharmacy. I asked him if 99 mg. was enough and he said it was. This has saved me a lot of money."

"I have been buying potassium at a lot of different places. Vitacost has the best price. And if they say it has 99 mg, then it does. I have bought potassium at other places and it didn't seem to work. This is the potassium to buy."

"After studying acidity vs. alkalinity within the body, I discovered how effective potassium (especially in the citrate form) is in maintaining proper body ph. Although my diet (coffee, alcohol, ect.) requires quite a few capsules per day, (limited to 99 mg per serving by law) I'm glad it's sold in a 300 count size. I consider it a must as part of my daily supplement regimen in promoting a long and healthy life. Be sure to test saliva or urine in order to determine dosage. (I found that urine testing is most accurate) I would like to see Vitacost stock the test "stix" instead of just the inferior strips."

"Best Potassium product on the market. Can't beat the price. Since the law limits the amount of potassium you can have in each pill, I would like to see this product offered in larger quantities of pills."
