Potassium Plus
OL Olympian Labs
Overview
The main ingredient, Potassium, is provided at 100 mg per serving, which is roughly 3-4% of the daily adequate intake for adults. While potassium is a well-researched and essential mineral, this dosage is unlikely to significantly impact individuals with normal potassium levels or to correct deficiencies, which typically require much higher doses (grams per day) to see clinical effects. The botanical ingredients are present in very small amounts (20 mg or less each), making their therapeutic efficacy highly questionable due to underdosing.
The Good
Provides a foundational amount of essential potassium.
Uses vegetarian capsules, suitable for various dietary preferences.
Incorporates a variety of botanicals known for various traditional uses, even if underdosed.
The Bad
Potassium is significantly underdosed for any meaningful therapeutic effect beyond basic dietary supplementation.
All botanical ingredients are severely underdosed compared to amounts used in research for potential health benefits.
The 'Natural Base' ingredient is not disclosed, leading to a lack of transparency.
Is it for you?
