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.

Good product..Good value Essential electrolyte supplement

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.

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!

Works when need more potassium

Reliable brand.

Perfect

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
