Potassium Citrate (99mg) 90c by Thorne – Muscle and Nerve Support Potassium Supplement
Potassium Citrate capsules by Thorne provide 99 mg of potassium per capsule in the citrate form. This single-mineral potassium supplement supports the normal electrical activity of muscles and nerves without adding a blend of other electrolytes.
Key Potassium Citrate (99mg) 90c Benefits
- Supports normal muscle function by supplying potassium, a mineral involved in the electrical changes that allow skeletal muscles to contract during everyday movement.
- Supports nerve signaling, helping nerve cells maintain the electrical conditions they need to send messages throughout the body.
- Helps maintain cellular fluid balance as part of potassium’s essential role inside cells, complementing normal dietary mineral intake.
How Potassium Citrate (99mg) 90c Works
Cells keep more potassium inside than outside. Together with sodium, this difference creates an electrical gradient: a small difference in charge across the cell membrane. Nerves use changes in that charge to carry signals, and muscles use them to contract. Potassium’s role extends to heart muscle function, where normal electrical activity helps coordinate each beat.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Potassium (as Potassium Citrate): Supports normal nerve and muscle activity by helping maintain the electrical difference across cell membranes. Potassium also helps regulate fluid within cells. These essential roles make it part of everyday electrolyte support; taking extra potassium is not appropriate for everyone, particularly when kidney function or medications affect potassium levels.
Potassium Citrate (99mg) 90c Is Formulated For
- Adults whose healthcare practitioner recommends adding potassium to their dietary intake.
- People seeking a citrate-form potassium capsule rather than a multi-mineral electrolyte blend.

ACE inhibitors (captopril, enalapril, ramipril, etc.) can produce potassium retention by inhibiting aldosterone in the adrenal glands. Potassium supplementation concurrently with ACE inhibitors and potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone, amiloride, triamterene, etc.) should be undertaken with caution to prevent excessive potassium levels in the body.
Frequently Asked Questions About Potassium Citrate (99mg) 90c
What are the benefits of Potassium Citrate (99mg) 90c?
Thorne Potassium Citrate supplies potassium to support normal muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and fluid balance within cells. It offers a focused mineral supplement rather than a combination electrolyte formula.
Who should take Potassium Citrate (99mg) 90c?
Potassium Citrate is an option for adults whose healthcare practitioner recommends supplemental potassium alongside a balanced diet. Kidney function, medications, and potassium from other supplements or salt substitutes should be reviewed before use.
Are there any side effects of taking Potassium Citrate (99mg) 90c?
Potassium supplements can cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Excessive potassium can affect heart rhythm, especially with impaired kidney function or medicines that reduce potassium excretion, including ARBs. This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. If pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product. ACE inhibitors (captopril, enalapril, ramipril, etc.) can produce potassium retention by inhibiting aldosterone in the adrenal glands. Potassium supplementation concurrently with ACE inhibitors and potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone, amiloride, triamterene, etc.) should be undertaken with caution to prevent excessive potassium levels in the body. Use only if bottle is sealed.
How does Potassium Citrate (99mg) 90c support overall health?
Potassium helps maintain the electrical difference between the inside and outside of cells. This is essential for normal nerve communication and skeletal and heart muscle activity. Thorne’s citrate-form supplement adds potassium to dietary intake; it does not replace potassium-rich foods.
