What's the difference between Potassium Citrate and Potassium Gluconate?

Potassium Citrate will affect both blood PH and calcium excretion via urine more than gluconatePotassium Citrate - C6H5K3O7 + H2O - is often the medicine of choice to make the urine more alkaline. This helps prevent the formation of certain kinds of kidney stones in this way - Potassium citrate attaches to calcium in the urine, preventing the formation of mineral crystals that can develop into kidney stones. In some cases, your health care professional may prescribe this medicine to balance the level of potassium in your body, for example, when the potassium level is low, etc. Potassium is a naturally occurring salt that is important for the normal functioning of the heart, muscles, and nerves. Potassium Gluconate - C6H5K3O7 - is often used to maintain acid-base balance, isotonicity, and electrophysiologic balance throughout body tissues. It is crucial to nerve impulse transmission and contraction of cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle. Potassium gluconate is also essential for normal renal function and carbohydrate metabolism. It is not known whether potassium passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. This medication should not be taken without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

Why 99 mg instead of an even 100?

that is the legal limit for potassium supplements that are in tablet/capsule form; why is the legal limit 99 and not 100, I dunno :)

What is the source of the gelatin used in the capsule?

Hi! Thanks for your question. NOW Foods uses a mixture of beef and pork gelatin for their capsules. I hope this helps! -Rebecca B.

What type of capsule is it? Hard/compressed pill, soft gel capsule, two-part "hard" capsule (that has filling), etc? Thanks!

It is a pull apart gelatin capsule that is filled with a potassium powder.
