Eidon Ionic Minerals - Liquid Potassium Supplement, All Natural - 18 oz

Update: I've learned there is an FDA limit on how much potassium can be in a serving. I really like Eidon's products, but I want to alert the reader to other sources. Food: Pistaschios (1025mg in 1 cup!). Low sodium V8: 900 mg in 8oz; OJ: 400-500mg in 8oz; raisins: 400 mg in 1.5 oz (box). Potassium citrate powder (1/16th of a teaspoon = approx 275mg; that's about 100mg of Potassium). Baked potato/mashed w skin = 900mg. I'm putting this out there because sometimes you need a lot of potassium, and 100mg is not very much. The RDA is 4700mg; I have to fight to get about 2000mg; however, when I do, I have more energy. This is an easy way to get this necessary mineral (I'm a bit low, so I'm supplementing a bit). I have used many of Eidon's products, I trust them, and I have given them as gifts. I've also used (and continue to use) other's products: Mother Earth, and Good State, and Trace Minerals Research. I didn't understand what I do now about minerals and human health, and I am now paying the high price of acute adrenal stress (thankfully it wasn't chronic), exhaustion, and low thyroid (trust me, you don't want to go there). It led to an early retirement because I was simply exhausted. No amount of sleep has fixed it, since I retired, and I didn't know "why" until I had a hair mineral analysis done, which pinpointed the problem precisely. It didn't happen overnight, and I won't be able to fix it overnight, but nutrients help, and lifestyle changes help (I'm talking MINERALS that use vitamins, and create or co-factor other processes). Now I have to step up my game to fix my health or suffer what Dr. Carolyn Dean calls "Total Body Meltdown". The fact is, most of us don't come close to getting the minerals we need. I've had to do a LOT of research on this, but I want you all to know the good news: 1) you can fix this, 2) for the most part, conventional medicine is unlikely to help you fix this, because they see no relationship between nutritional deficiency and illness for the most part 3) you need nutrients (minerals), a diet that alkalizes, and time. And lastly, you CAN find the answers and the resources online (and the physicians to help you). My sincere apologies to the many brilliant physicians and medical professionals who DO get it, and are working hard for their patients. I appreciate all the information you have made available to people like me who are benefitting from it. This is the third Eidon product I am using (silica, Multiple Minerals). This is 99mg of Potassium. Potassium is a major mineral, and we need a LOT of it, yet multivitamin/mineral complexes seem a bit shy of giving you what I would call a "meaningful" amount. The REQUIREMENT is a whopping 3100-4700mg, depending on how you search. So this product is a "plus up" but not a huge amount. In fact, Eidon makes an electrolyte supplement with only 50mg of potassium. The benefit of Ionic minerals is that is doesn't have to get to your liver to get into your bloodstream (for this matter, you could put it on your skin, and it would be mostly absorbed--I take many minerals this way). The pill form of Potassium is usually large pill (the Nature Made is 550mg of Potassium Gluconate with only 90mg of Potassium). You'd have to ask a pharmacist, but I have a suspicion that there is a bit of liability here (although I also have an iron supplement with 361% of the RDA, which I cut into quarters). I use this supplement in filtered water (16oz). Very little taste at all. I am not noticing any difference in how I feel in the moment, but I know my body needs this mineral and I want to make sure my body has everything it needs to get and stay healthy. I also have a competitor's product which I intend as a topical variant. To take with me on trips. (I like to try and see what works, because many people want to know what I think on minerals). I want to emphasize diet and lifestyle along with the supplements--you have to have both. I am pretty unstructured, and this has been a downfall that led to a health crash--one that the physicians in the know see very clearly. I take pictures at night, and wasn't getting good sleep. Now I have to go to bed on time, mind my diet, my weight, my PH and my energy levels (I have a full life in retirement, just like everyone else out there). So, I advise the reader: take your health seriously, and start to understand what your body NEEDS, and how what you are putting it in can hinder where you want to be in terms of short term AND longer term health. Stress depletes nutrients from your body. MINERALS MATTER, Body PH matters. Potassium is a MAJOR mineral. You need it, you don't want to be low, but you don't want to be HIGH, either. Medicines of all kinds deplete minerals, as does smoking, alchohol, etc. Some of the damage cannot be fixed after it's occurred (heart attacks due to lack of magnesium are common, for example). I do recommend this supplement, but it does not have (I haven't found any) the RDA for Potassium.

I've tried most on the market, solid and liquid form, this one is the most natural and naturally absorbed. I can tell it is excellent quality because I use it to curb sweet cravings, and after swalling a mouthful, it's only minutes before the thought of something sweet is very unappealing. Using this when you crave sweets can help your body come back into balance. Just do not eat sweets right after you have some potassium, give it time to work, otherwise it will confuse your body and then it will be a much harder process bringing your body back into balance. If you take a swallow of postassium, (all it takes for me, a swallow), and still crave sweets, then you need another swallow of potassium, until you don't. It's unnatural to crave sweets, drugs, coffee, or alcohol, it's not unnatural to crave potassium.

Great product and a great price

It works great and is very fast. I love it.

Great

I’m loving this product and the price point. I need to supplement potassium. Helps with my eyes and overall health.

Product is great. I have suffered with leg and foot cramps for years and now taking this has eased the cramps. Ordering more after this review.

I’ve always used the dropper bottle 2oz from the same company. But I saw this and it was the same price on sale much higher quantity. I figured I would try it. When it came we found that the concentration is much less than the dropper version. If I gave the same dose to my 8yo with this product as the dropper, she would know because it would dilute her drink. She needs potassium. So this product is useless and it’s not eligible for return. We never opened it and won’t use it. Money wasted. Always check if a product is eligible for return before purchasing. This is the first Amazon product I’ve gotten that was prime and not eligible for return.
