Potassium-HP (high potency w/mg)

• Potassium-HP is a high potency potassium supplement with magnesium.

Each teaspoon serving provides 1,200 mg of elemental potassium (as potassium citrate) and 120 mg of elemental magnesium (as magnesium citrate malate). According to the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies (Dietary Reference Intakes: water, potassium, sodium chloride, and sulfate. February 11, 2004), adults need to consume at least 4.7 grams of potassium daily to maintain healthy blood pressure, blunt the effects of salt, and reduce the risk of bone loss. However, most American women aged 31 to 50 do not consume more than half the recommended amount of potassium, and men's intake is only moderately higher. There was no evidence of chronic excess potassium intakes in apparently healthy people, and therefore, no UL [upper limit of intake] has been established.
