    Potassium (as Potassium Chloride) vs. Potassium (as Potassium Gluconate)

    Can someone explain to me the difference between Potassium (as Potassium Chloride) and Potassium (as Potassium Gluconate)? I've done a bit of research myself, but I'm just wondering if there's anything I missed.

    Thanks.

    What are your goals with taking this? Is it prescribed? I'd never take a potassium supplement unless it was prescribed.

    Well, I'm fairly certain my mom has a potassium deficiency, so, daily she isn't meeting her needs for that vitamin. I was thinking about starting her on a potassium supplement, since she isn't getting it with the food she eats. I'm also going to get her a multi because I'm sure this is the case with other vitamins/minerals as well. She doesn't exercise much, but she's trying to get into it, so, she walk/jogs like 1-3 times a week (depends on the week).

    Anyways, back to my question lol.

    Simply put; Potassium Chloride shouldn't be used when chloride-levels are normal, or when chloride should be avoided (ie: kidney diseases)
    There's other forms as well btw...

    Get potassium nitrate.

    Postassium Gluconate is just potassium bonded to sugar or glucose(hence "gluco"). Who know's if it's actually bonded.

    A. Potassium isn't a vitamin.

    B. I don't care if you're "fairly certain" she has a potassium deficiency, you better be sure if you intend on supplementing with any appreciable amount of potassium

    C. Sherm, glucose is an aldose, gluconic acid is a carboxylic acid.

    A. It isn't a vitamin, it's a mineral, my mistake.

    B. The toxicity level for Potassium is 25g (25,000mg). What amounts are you speaking of when you say, "appreciable?" The AI for Potassium is about 4,700mg a day (the RDA allows up to 5,900mg). I haven't found a Potassium supplement with more than than 100-200mg per pill (1 pill being a serving).

    C. Can you point me in the direction of a good form of Potassium?

    Care to elaborate? Dose-dependent effects should always be carefully evaluated however, we're not talking Hyperkalemia as a result of moderately-dosed potassium.

    Bump for further discussion of pros on cons of potassium nitrate. Only supplement company I know who uses it are AOR at 202mgs per servings. Im sure there are others?

    Wondering what the ratio of potassium to nitrate acid it would be?
    Proprietary blended companies' worst nightmare.
