NutraBio Potassium Complex

99mg of Albion potassium amino acid complex per capsule, 120 vegetable capsules. Non-GMO, gluten free, soy free.

⚠ Read this first: why every potassium supplement is 99mg

You will notice that essentially every over-the-counter potassium supplement in America contains exactly 99mg. That is not a coincidence, and it is not a nutritional recommendation.

It is a regulatory ceiling. High-dose solid potassium supplements have been associated with gastrointestinal lesions and ulceration, so oral potassium above that threshold is restricted — higher doses are prescription territory.

Here is what that means in practice, and we would rather you knew it before buying:

Adequate intake for adults	Roughly 3,400–4,700mg daily
This capsule	99mg
Proportion of daily need	Around 2–3%

You cannot meaningfully correct a potassium shortfall with capsules. One medium banana contains around 400mg — four times this capsule. A baked potato is closer to 900mg.

So what is it for? Genuinely useful as a small top-up alongside a diet that is already reasonable — particularly around heavy sweating, where electrolyte losses are real. It is not a substitute for eating potassium-rich food, and any product implying otherwise is misleading you.

What potassium actually does

Potassium is the primary intracellular electrolyte — the main positively charged ion inside your cells, where sodium is the main one outside. The gradient between them is what makes cells electrically active.

Muscle contraction. Every contraction depends on that sodium-potassium gradient, which is why deficiency is associated with weakness and cramping
Nerve transmission, for the same reason
Fluid balance, working opposite sodium
Blood pressure. Higher potassium intake is associated with lower blood pressure — largely by counterbalancing sodium
Calcium sparing. Adequate potassium reduces urinary calcium loss, which is relevant to bone health

The training angle: potassium is lost in sweat, and cramping during long or hot sessions is commonly an electrolyte problem rather than a hydration one.

What "chelated" means, and why it is on the label

Minerals in raw inorganic form — oxides, carbonates, sulphates — are poorly absorbed. Your gut has a limited number of mineral transporters, and when several minerals arrive together they compete for them. Much of what you swallow is excreted.

Chelation bonds the mineral to an amino acid, typically glycine. Your body absorbs amino acids through a separate, far higher-capacity pathway, because it is built to handle the quantities that come from dietary protein — so a chelated mineral rides that route instead. Better absorbed, and no competition.

The second benefit is comfort: unabsorbed minerals sitting in the gut are what cause the cramping and loose stools people associate with mineral supplements.

NutraBio use Albion minerals, the company behind the TRAACS chelation standard.

How to take it

One capsule daily with food.
Alongside potassium-rich food, not instead of it. Potatoes, bananas, beans, leafy greens, yoghurt and fish are all far larger sources.
Useful around heavy sweating, where losses are genuine.
If cramping is your issue, magnesium and sodium are usually the more productive places to look first.

Who this is for

Anyone topping up a diet that is already reasonable in potassium
People who sweat heavily in training or in hot conditions
Anyone on a low-carbohydrate diet, where potassium-rich starches are restricted
People who want a chelated form rather than a cheap potassium salt

Who this is not for

Anyone hoping to correct a real potassium deficiency. 99mg is 2–3% of your daily need — this cannot do that job, and no over-the-counter capsule can.

⚠ Anyone with kidney disease. Impaired kidneys cannot clear excess potassium, and high blood potassium is genuinely dangerous. Speak to your doctor first.

⚠ Anyone taking ACE inhibitors, ARBs or potassium-sparing diuretics. Those medications raise potassium retention, and adding more is a real interaction. Check with your doctor or pharmacist.

If you want electrolytes around training, a full electrolyte product with sodium and magnesium as well is more useful than potassium alone.

Not for anyone under 18, pregnant or nursing.

Stack it with: magnesium — the two work together in muscle relaxation, and magnesium is the one most people are genuinely short of.

Frequently asked questions

Why is it only 99mg?
That is a regulatory ceiling on over-the-counter potassium, because high-dose solid potassium has been linked to gastrointestinal lesions. It is not a nutritional target.

How much potassium do I actually need?
Roughly 3,400 to 4,700mg daily for adults. This capsule is around 2–3% of that.

Can I fix low potassium with supplements?
No. Food is the only practical route — a banana has about four times this capsule, and a baked potato around nine times.

What is it useful for then?
A modest top-up alongside a reasonable diet, particularly around heavy sweating.

Will it help with cramp?
Possibly, but magnesium and sodium are usually more productive places to look first.

Is it safe with blood pressure medication?
Check with your doctor. ACE inhibitors, ARBs and potassium-sparing diuretics all increase potassium retention.

What does chelated mean?
The mineral is bonded to an amino acid, so it absorbs via the amino acid pathway rather than competing for limited mineral transporters.

Should I take it with food?
Yes, with a meal.
