HOW IT'S MADE
Potassium Bicarbonate is created by combining potassium carbonate and carbon dioxide Used as a base in foods to regulate PH.
It is a chemical compound composed of potassium, hydrogen, and carbonate ions. It is commonly used as an antacid to neutralize excess stomach acid, relieving indigestion and heartburn. When ingested, it reacts with stomach acid, producing carbon dioxide gas, which may lead to temporary burping.
In addition to its antacid properties, potassium bicarbonate is sometimes used as a potassium supplement to help maintain healthy potassium levels in the blood. Adequate potassium levels are essential for proper muscle function, nerve transmission, and maintaining a healthy heart rhythm.
However, it's crucial to use potassium bicarbonate supplements under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as excessive potassium intake can be harmful, especially for individuals with kidney issues or those at risk of developing kidney stones. Monitoring potassium levels is essential to avoid potential complications and ensure the supplement's safe and effective use.
