What is in Potassium Citrate Powder?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 0.25 tsp. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Potassium Citrate | 450 mg | 10%* | The label names the compound (Potassium Citrate); its amount is likely the compound's weight, not the potassium it holds, so it is not placed among other products. |
* % Daily Value computed from the printed amount and the FDA Daily Value (21 CFR 101.9); the label prints none for that row.
