Potassium is an important mineral used in various bodily functions.It is an important factor in the maintenance of the body's acid-base balance and nerve conductions, as well as the transfer of nutrients through cell membranes.Potassium is found in a number of foods, including dairy, fish, and other meats, fruits, vegetables and whole grains.Because food processing reduces the levels of naturally occurring nutrients in foods, supplementation may be necessary to insure adequate intake.Potassium Citrate is a well absorbed and highly bioavailable form of potassium.*

Size Name:180 CAPS
I ordered these after learning while researching kidney stones online that they can be helpful in preventing the formation of new stones. Some sources (e.g. wikipedia) even claim that existing stones can be dissolved with potassium citrate. I've been taking them for about a month now and that isn't enough time to say if they're going to prevent new stones or dissolve existing ones, but I can say I have not experienced any pain associated with passing a stone during the time I've been taking them.
Additionally, potassium citrate as been described as a "weak diuretic." I find that if I take them late in the evening I always have to urinate during the night, so this must be true, although I would not personally call them "weak" as I've found them nearly as effective for me as thiazide pills. Therefore, you might want to take them early in the day. Take them with meals to avoid stomach upset.
Please note that you should never take potassium in any form if you are taking a potassium sparing diuretic. Some types of oral contraceptives (e.g. Yaz) contain substances which function as potassium-sparing diuretics, and other medications like spironolactone. Doing so can over-elevate your potassium levels which will affect your heart function. They are fine to take with regular diuretics and are often prescribed as a way to restore correct potassium levels in those who take thiazide diuretics. You can read about this and potassium citrate's effect on kidney stones by doing a simple Google search, as numerous studies have been done.
This brand seems to work perfectly fine. I enjoy the clear capsules because I can open them and dissolve the contents in water if I choose.
