Reduce mucus and inflammation...
Potassium bicarbonate is the form that earned a New England Journal of Medicine metabolic balance trial: 18 days of it neutralized endogenous acid and improved calcium and phosphorus balance. This is that salt, USP grade, one ingredient, no dose decided for you.
For practitioners and clients mixing their own Adrenal Cocktail or mineral blends. 1/4 lb, 1/2 lb, 1 lb, and 5 lb.
- USP Grade
- Batch Lab Tested
- Single Ingredient
- BPA/BPS-Free Packaging
- No Fillers
- No Flow Agents
- No Flavors
- No Sweeteners
Why people use it
- Potassium, unblended. Most potassium supplements are capped near 99 mg a serving. This is loose powder at about 391 mg of elemental potassium per gram, which is why the dose belongs to your practitioner and not to us.
- Supports normal fluid balance. Potassium maintains intracellular fluid volume and the electrochemical gradients across cell membranes. That is the mineral's job description, straight from NIH.
- Supports normal nerve and muscle function. Alongside sodium, magnesium, and calcium. It is the one most people are shortest on.
- Supports blood pressure already within the normal range. A meta-analysis of 23 randomized placebo-controlled trials in 1,213 people found oral potassium supplementation moved systolic and diastolic readings down, with larger shifts at higher intakes. See the research below.
- Bicarbonate is the alkaline salt. A 1994 controlled metabolic balance trial in postmenopausal women used potassium bicarbonate to neutralize endogenous acid and improve calcium and phosphorus balance. It is also the form the traditional Adrenal Cocktail recipe calls for.
- USP grade, batch tested. Identity and purity verified on the raw material, then lab tested by batch before it's packed.
What you're getting (approximate)
Expressed per gram of powder rather than per teaspoon, because a quarter teaspoon's weight isn't stated and volume scoops of a loose crystalline powder vary. Weigh it.
| Component | Per 1 g of powder |
|---|---|
| Potassium (elemental) | ~391 mg |
| Bicarbonate | ~609 mg |
Approximate. Calculated from the NIST Chemistry WebBook molecular weight for potassium bicarbonate (100.1151) and the NIST atomic weight for potassium (39.0983), giving an elemental fraction of 39.05%. Not a lot-specific assay; ask for the current certificate of analysis.
How to use
- The Adrenal Cocktail as Josh mixes it: 1/4 tsp potassium bicarbonate, 1/4 tsp high-mineral sea salt, 1 tsp camu camu vitamin C powder.
- Mix into orange juice, a low-glycemic juice, or whatever liquid you prefer.
- Use a gram scale, not a teaspoon. Volume measures of a loose crystalline powder swing with grain size and packing; grams don't.
- Use as directed by your healthcare provider or wellness professional. This one is not a guess-and-scoop product.
- Store it tightly sealed. It pulls moisture if you leave the lid off.
Sourcing & making
One ingredient: USP-grade potassium bicarbonate, verified against United States Pharmacopeia specifications for identity and purity, then lab tested batch by batch before it is packed. Packaging is BPA/BPS-free. Nothing is added, flavored, or blended in, because the whole point is that you control what goes in the glass.
Full ingredients
- Potassium Bicarbonate (USP Grade) - 100% pure, lab-tested
Who it's for — and who it isn't
Good fit for:
- Practitioners building Adrenal Cocktail or custom mineral protocols who want to set the dose themselves
- People already mixing their own mineral drinks and tired of paying capsule prices for 99 mg servings
- Anyone who wants the alkaline potassium salt rather than potassium chloride in a compounded routine
Probably not for you if:
- You have reduced kidney function. Do not use a loose potassium powder without supervision.
- You don't own a scale and won't buy one. Measure this one properly or skip it.
Testing & quality
Every product is lab tested. Certificates of analysis on request, about a 2-week turnaround. USP grade is verified on the raw material, then each batch is tested for purity and potency before it's packed.
The research behind the ingredients
Published research on the ingredients in this product, for education. These studies were not conducted on this product.
Potassium bicarbonate
The New England Journal of Medicine · 1994 · controlled metabolic balance trial · n=18
In a controlled metabolic balance study of 18 postmenopausal women, 60–120 mmol/day of potassium bicarbonate for 18 days neutralized endogenous acid and improved calcium and phosphorus balance, with markers indicating less bone resorption and more bone formation.
Potassium
Potassium supplementation meta-analysis, 2017
PLOS ONE · 2017 · meta-analysis · n=23 trials, 1213 participants
A meta-analysis of 23 randomized placebo-controlled trials in 1,213 participants found that oral potassium supplementation lowered systolic blood pressure by 4.25 mmHg and diastolic by 2.53 mmHg, with larger reductions at higher doses.
Potassium
Applied Sciences · 2024 · narrative review
A narrative review reporting that potassium is among the electrolytes lost and re-regulated during exercise in the heat, and that replacing sweat electrolytes supports hydration status and performance.
Evidence note: Strong for potassium as a nutrient: a metabolic balance trial on acid-base and mineral balance plus a 23-trial meta-analysis on blood pressure already within the normal range. The adrenal-cocktail recipe itself is a traditional preparation rather than a studied formula.
FAQ
How much potassium is in a quarter teaspoon?
Weigh it and you have your number: NIST molecular weights put this salt at about 391 mg of elemental potassium per gram. We publish it per gram because grain size and packing move what a quarter teaspoon holds, and this is a mineral worth measuring properly. A $12 gram scale settles it.
Why bicarbonate instead of potassium chloride?
Bicarbonate is the alkaline salt, and it's the form NIH discusses in the context of acid-base balance. It is also what the traditional Adrenal Cocktail recipe calls for, which is why most people land on this page.
Why does this need practitioner guidance?
Because it's unmeasured. Most potassium supplements stop at 99 mg a serving for a reason. Reduced kidney function, or certain heart and kidney medications, can let potassium accumulate. A provider should set your dose before you start scooping.
What does USP grade actually mean?
That the raw material meets United States Pharmacopeia specifications for identity and purity, and we add batch-specific lab testing on top of it. That tells you what's in the jar. It doesn't tell you how much of it is right for you.
Is this the same potassium as in the electrolyte powder?
Same salt, very different amount. The electrolyte powder carries about 7.8 mg of potassium per teaspoon as a minor component. This is the pure material, several hundred times more concentrated by weight.
Pairs well with
- Salt of Life — the sea salt the Adrenal Cocktail recipe calls for
- Camu Camu Powder — the whole-food vitamin C in the same recipe
- Adrenal Cocktail — the same three components, already blended, if you'd rather not measure
Cautions
- Do not exceed the recommended serving. Excessive potassium intake may cause digestive discomfort or upset mineral balance.
- Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture and heat. Best within 12 months of opening.
Lab Tested
Every product. COA on request, ~2 weeks.
Made Fresh to Order
Small batches, packed when you order, not warehoused.
Nothing Hidden
