Potassium Citrate (Potassium) 99 mg: Electrolyte Balance, Muscles, Heart – Neuromuscular Support, Hydration and Daily Recovery

Potassium Citrate (Potassium) 99 mg, NOW Foods, is a nutritional formula designed to support optimal cell function through intake of a well-tolerated and easy-to-use form: potassium citrate. Potassium is the main intracellular cation and plays a key role in nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction (including cardiac muscle), electrolyte balance regulation and maintaining an adequate cellular environment for enzymatic activity. Each serving provides 99 mg elemental potassium (from 310 mg potassium citrate), equivalent to 2% RDA, a practical dose to supplement dietary intake from vegetables, fruits and other whole sources. The citrate-based formula additionally brings gentle support for acid-base balance and favorable urinary pH, important in contexts of effort, sweating or protein-rich diets.

Detailed Benefits of Potassium Citrate (Potassium)

• Supporting electrolyte balance and cellular hydration

Sodium and potassium work together in the sodium-potassium "pump," the mechanism that maintains correct water distribution in and out of cells. When potassium intake is adequate, cellular volume remains stable, and metabolic processes run efficiently.
✅ Optimal cellular hydration in daily activity
✅ Proper functioning of membrane ion exchanges
✅ Support for effort resistance and general tone

• Neuromuscular function and coordination

Potassium is indispensable for nerve impulse propagation and for the excitation-contraction coupling at muscular level. Appropriate potassium status supports coordination, reaction speed and muscular comfort in daily tasks, but also during training.
✅ Efficient nervous transmission and smooth muscle contraction
✅ Movement comfort and reduction of stiffness sensation
✅ Support for maintaining neuromotor performance

• Heart and blood pressure within normal parameters

Cardiac muscle relies on potassium exchanges for fiber repolarization and contraction rhythmicity. Through contribution to sodium-potassium balance, potassium citrate supports normal heart function and blood pressure values within physiological limits, as part of a balanced lifestyle (hydration, sleep, plant-rich diet).
✅ Support for cardiac rhythmicity and efficiency
✅ Electrolyte balance correlated with normal blood pressure values
✅ Perceived improvement in daily circulatory energy

• Acid-base balance and favorable urinary pH

Citrate is an anion with mild alkalizing effect, useful for counterbalancing acidity of hyperprotein diets or periods with intense effort. At urinary level, this translates to a more friendly pH for urinary tract comfort.
✅ Support for acid-base homeostasis
✅ Urinary pH in a favorable physiological zone
✅ Useful during periods with abundant sweating, sauna or training

• Energy metabolism and carbohydrate utilization

Potassium balance supports enzymatic activity involved in carbohydrate transformation into energy and glycogen storage replenishment. In combination with balanced diet, potassium contributes to stable energy sensation throughout the day.
✅ Efficient conversion of carbohydrates to ATP
✅ Faster glycogen replenishment after effort
✅ Energy stability and metabolic performance

• Muscle comfort and post-effort recovery

Electrolyte imbalances can be felt as occasional cramps or accentuated muscle fatigue. Adequate potassium intake supports muscle relaxation between contractions and smoother recovery after training or demanding activities.
✅ Comfort during and after effort
✅ Neuromuscular relaxation between contractions
✅ Supporting mobility and training rhythm

• Mental clarity and resilience to daily stress

Neurons depend on potassium gradient for action potential generation. A balanced electrolyte state reflects in clarity, focus and adaptive capacity. Potassium citrate supports informational "current" between cells, with positive effects on concentration.
✅ Focus and mental processing speed
✅ Supporting cognitive resilience to multiple tasks
✅ Electrolyte foundation for nervous system function

• Support in modern diets and active routines

Diets poor in vegetables/fruits or hyperprotein regimens can limit natural potassium intake, as can periods with intense sweating (sport, high temperatures, sauna). Potassium Citrate 99 mg offers simple completion, helping maintain daily balance.
✅ Practical completion in plant-poor diets
✅ Support on days with increased activity or temperatures
✅ Alignment with long-term wellness objectives

• Citrate form – tolerance and bioavailability

Potassium citrate is a form recognized for solubility and good gastric tolerance. Unlike other mineral salts, citrate additionally contributes to dietary acid load management, making it a versatile option both for daily use and effort periods.
✅ Soluble form, easily used by the body
✅ Dual support: potassium + mild alkalizing effect
✅ Digestive comfort in daily use

• Intelligent nutritional synergies

Potassium works synergistically with magnesium (neuromuscular relaxation), calcium (muscle contraction) and adequate hydration (electrolyte transport). A diet rich in vegetables/fruits, quality proteins and sufficient water intake potentiates perceived potassium effects.
✅ Synergy with magnesium for muscle comfort
✅ Complementary to calcium for contraction-relaxation rhythm
✅ Added value in an active lifestyle

• Essential nutritional specifications

Each serving delivers: Potassium 99 mg (from 310 mg potassium citrate) – 2% RDA. This practical concentration facilitates integration into varied routines, from sedentary days to training, helping maintain an electrolyte "safety net" in the context of a balanced diet.
✅ 99 mg elemental potassium per serving
✅ Derived from 310 mg potassium citrate
✅ Easy to associate with any nutritional program

• Suitable for multiple wellness objectives

Whether you're pursuing mental clarity at the office, joint and muscle comfort during training or simply general well-being throughout the day, potassium balance is a central piece of the puzzle. Potassium Citrate (Potassium) 99 mg, NOW Foods, provides clean support, with clear mechanisms at cellular level, to support what matters: stable energy, natural movement and coherent vital functions.
✅ Versatile for work, sport and leisure
✅ Mineral foundation for vitality and focus
✅ Trusted complement to daily diet

Potassium Citrate (Potassium) 99 mg, NOW Foods, combines the science of electrolyte balance with the simplicity of daily use. Through its role in nerves, muscles, heart, hydration, urinary pH and metabolism, citrate potassium offers discrete but essential support for a smoothly functioning body – exactly as designed.
