Solgar Potassium Tablets - Essential Electrolyte - Supports Nerve and Muscle Function for Normal Blood Pressure - Vegan - 100 Count (Pack of 1)

These are great for leg cramps and low potassium, I have noticed others seem to think they are large and hard to swallow, which is true, but I chew them quickly then gulp some water and they go down a treat.

PROS: 1) Effective and efficacious 2) Inexpensive CONS: 1) Ridiculous size 2) Ridiculous shape Firstly, a word of warning: self-medication is extremely dangerous and no food supplement should ever be used without prior advice from a doctor. Ever since I was a teenager (in the 1970s) I have suffered badly from seriously debilitating cramps. I’m not talking discomfort, but agony, sometimes for hours on end. I have fallen 16ft with my legs locked in a chair shape when skateboarding in California in competition with the TV commentator shouting “Oh my God, one of the Brits has taken a bad fall!” I have woken a girlfriend up in the middle of the night with my leg sticking in the air. She put her whole body weight of about 8 stone (50kg) on my leg and it wouldn’t go down. I have had my ex-wife and my 4 children massage my legs for 3 hours after playing a football tournament in 33degC heat....so you can see I really have had a bad time of it. My doctor discovered I was suffering from pernicious anaemia, a condition that prevents the body from absorbing vitamin B12 through the digestive tract. I have been having regular B12 injections, but though they helped, they didn’t eradicate it. I was still suffering with cramps in the vastus medialis and sartorius muscles (leg muscles at the bottom of the thigh and inner thigh) and in the intercostal msucles. The intercostals are between your ribs and help in breathing. I would regularly get cramps and have to punch myself in the ribs to release the cramps which makes me look like a nutter. Now, after 4 months of Solgar Potassium tablets I haven’t had a single cramp! This is remarkable because I spent 3 weeks in Cyprus where I ran about playing beach football in 35degC heat and sweated wildly. Therefore, I believe I am now cured of a condition which wreaked havoc on my life for so long. Ironically, the American doctor who examined me at the skatepark in California gave me a prescription of Potassium gluconate pills. They took 3 days to work, but they did the trick. It was just a shame I didn’t remember this back in 1979. Everyone’s body is different and thus the pharmacokinetics (the way the drug works in the body and the speed) will be slightly different. All I know, for £5-£6 a month, I am cured of the most horrible condition. BUY THEM, DOTTORE APPROVED!

A good quality product and an overall invaluable weapon; in the battle against Fibromyalgia. I would have awarded a fifth star, however these tablets are not film-coated; and therefore can prove difficult to swallow.

I'm using these tablets for my elderly cat with chronic kidney disease and has low potassium levels. He started looking very wobbly on his back then front legs and he tested for low potassium so vet recommended started potassium tablets. I've been giving these daily for over a week and can see an improvement in his legs and his steadiness, so I'm happy. The tablets are huge, I cut and crush them and put the correct dose into empty capsules to pill my cat, luckily he is very cooperative with pilling.

Good

I have been taking these for 5 months now, long enough for me to write a review about this supplement. I can confirm that within a month of my taking these, my legs have stopped the painful cramping altogether. I used to suffer terribly, both during the day and especially nocturnally. At night I used to always be jumping out of bed and reaching for the Ibuprofen to relax my calf muscles. I take 3 tablets each morning. I also take a magnesium supplement at night, which helps me to sleep. The only downside to this supplement is the size and shape of the tablets, they can be difficult to swallow. I highly recommend these for the elimination of leg cramps. I recommended them to my Aunt and they work for her also.

I was really looking forward to these as I wanted to boost my potassium levels. Unfortunately found these to be very big and difficult to swallow so I had stopped taking them after about a week - shame really as can’t attest to whether they actually work

Three years ago the doctor told me I had low potassium and to eat more bananas, potatoes and leafy greens. Duly noted. It went up a bit and they made no further reference to it. Now for months I've had aching muscles and fatigue. I take vitamin b12 as I have trouble absorbing it after a bowel cancer operation so assumed it was something I had to put up with until after a routine diabetic blood test showed I still had very low potassium levels which they have known for months and didn't bother to inform me! After 2 days on these I feel 10 years younger. No cramps or muscle pain. More recently I was also getting heart palpitations as well! A+ to these. F- to the NHS with their failure to inform me of my dangerous potassium levels.

Solgar no falla, muy buena calidad

Parfait. « Vrai » SOLGAR. A savoir : Flacon qui a sûrement pas mal voyagé... Étiquette originale en Anglais avec ajout par dessus d’une étiquette made in Espagne. Pour info : « Date d’Expiration » du flacon de 100 tablettes reçu (pour ce que cela veut dire exactement pour ce type de produit ... (?) ) : 08/2022.

The Solgar Potassium Gluconate has become a essential part of my daily wellness routine. I love that it’s Non-GMO, Vegan, and Gluten-Free, which aligns perfectly with Solgar’s reputation for clean, high-quality supplements. The tablets are easy to swallow and don't leave any unpleasant aftertaste. Since I started taking them, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in maintaining my electrolyte balance and reducing occasional muscle cramps. With 100 tablets per bottle, it’s a great value for a premium brand that I truly trust for its purity and potency.

Excellent!!!

Uso este producto cuando el de mi otra marca falla, demasiado... Conocida la calidad los productos de la marca, no voy a enumerar sus bondades ya que cualquiera que busque un prodcuto tiene que hacer un mínimo trabajo de campo... Otro punto a favor es el tarro ocuro de VIDRIO, para protegerlo de la luz. ojalá todos los productos los llevasen, aunque también es verdad que el vidrio aumenta su valor de venta. En su contra diré que el frasco es pequeño, hay otros productos que contienen más del doble y ello rinde a nuestro favor como compradores. En su contra diré que sus cápsulas son afiladas. Diré que nunca he tenido problemas para tomar nada pero en esta ocasión es un impedimento.
