What's the difference between Potassium Citrate and Potassium Gluconate?
1682004
The basic difference is that citrate is better absorbed by the body versus gluconate.

Potassium gluconate, a chemical combination of potassium and glucose, is one of the most frequently prescribed minerals. It's used to replenish low blood potassium, to maintain normal levels, or to avoid potassium depletion during specific drug therapies and certain diseases. It is often prescribed for patients who are taking medications to control blood pressure and manage cardiac disorders. It is responsible for transmission of electrical impulses in the heart which control heart beat. Prolonged use of diuretics, digitalis, ACE-inhibitors, furosemide, steroids and several other medications inhibit the body's ability to absorb potassium, requiring this supplement. Potassium citrate is a chemical combination of potassium and citric acid and is one of the most absorbable forms of the mineral. It is used to treat a kidney stone condition called renal tubular acidosis. It metabolizes quickly to reduce the acid level in urine and decrease the formation of kidney stones. By lowering the uric acid level, potassium citrate is helpful in preventing or treating gout and certain metabolic disorders resulting from kidney disease. It effectively reduces painful urination and urinary frequency and is also helpful in treating hypokalemia. Potassium citrate is useful in maintaining normal cardiac rhythm and blood pressure.

Apparently the ingredients have changed since others have posted their comments. My bottle contains: 1) Potassium ( as hydroxycitrate and/or citrate ) = 100mg -- 3%DV, ... 2) Calcium ( as carbonate ) = 200mg -- 20%DV, ... and 3) Garcinia Cambogia; standardized up to 75% Hydroxcitric Acid (HCA) = 1000mg -- + ( no daily value ). Other ingredients are vegetarian capsule and cellulose. No additional binders, fillers or other ingredients.180 capsules = 2 caps per serving for a total of 90 servings per container.

I have checked the bottle label and unfortunately there is no info on Potassium content.

The supplemental facts say calcium 300 mg (as elemental calcium gluconate); magnesium 300 mg (as elemental magnesium citrate) then ingredients lists both and adds (a proprietary blend of citric acid and magnesium carbonate, which creates ionic magnesium citrate.)

k7 has a 5 gal carboy and larger plastic bucket fermenter, the k6 has a 6 gal carboy and smaller plastic bucket fermenter (probably because you can do primary fermenting in glass carboy)

I Am No Doctor! However, I believe the 108c means Potassium Carbonate. The 99 mg of this product is 99 mg of Potassium Citrate; which is the only product that can reduce the Uric Acid Crystal of Gout in a non prescription strength.

1. The citrate salt is (supposedly) more bio-available (more easily absorbed and distributed through the body) than other salt forms.2. To the best of my understanding, the active form of Magnesium in the body is the Mg 2+ cation. I cannot see any chemical rationale for injesting Magnesium Oxide as a source of dietary magnesium. I don't know if Magnesium Citrate is the MOST bioavailable, but my chemical intuition tells me that it MUST be better than supplements containing Magnesium Oxide.3. Totes LOLed at the "citrate binds with oxalate" comment: meaningless nonsense. 1.

I can't say for sure, but doubt that it is the same thing, I only found with Aminos acid, and that is poison!!! This person needs to look further, I only use Coconut Crystals, very few of that, cause I mix Swerve, which is just like sugar, and an excellent replacement!!!!!

Hey, that's a great question to ask. But they both play a different role on the benefits. BCAA is to help you get the amino acids you lose when you workout; cause without it your body wouldn't be able to produce the amounts needed at the end of the day. Glutamine is so your muscles can recover faster after your workouts, and also has other benefits. In conclusion to your question I would say you need them both cause each one helps you for different benefits.

Hello Silva, the difference between those products is in active ingredients that has been used in the formulas. For One XS main ingredients are AMP Citrate with Green Tea and Aloe Ferox for EZ Weight Loss Pill they are AMP Citrate, Guarana, Green Tea. One XS Weight Loss formula is a bit stronger, but the responsiveness of your body to the supplement depends on many factors as age, metabolism, height/weight ratio, lifestyle. That is why the market can offer large selection of Weight Management supplement so that you can figure out what formula works best for you. We offer free consultations for our clients in order to pick right supplement. Anna. Hello Silva, the difference between those products is in active ingredients that has been used in the formulas.

According to the info on the bottle, the potassium is a form of Hydroxycitrate. I hope this helps.

I have used both and agree with the smell of the hydrate. The pure volume smells a lot better, more of a floral/ perfume scent.

Maggie, I do not know the answer to your question. However, my landlord used a brand of PGX and loves the product. I did not respond well at all and moved on to Magnesium Citrate powder. It took me awhile to get the right amount for my system but the powder really works for me. Hope something here has helped.
